The concepts behind cultural values led to Hofstede's (1994) definition of culture
as "the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the member of one group
of category of people from another" (p. 5). Dahl (2006) stated that the definition is
particularly useful because on one side of the concept of any culture stands human nature,
which is not programmed and not programmable, and on the other side is the individual
personality (p. 3). Dahl found that Hofstede's "idea of the culture in the individual is
particularly useful for explaining the concept of culture on the one side - as well as
allowing for the diversity of individual personalities within any one culture" (p. 3).
