Uncertainty Avoidance
This is the extent to which uncertainty and ambiguity are perceived as a threat in a society. In low societies, there is less emphasis on rules, the younger generation is considered more trusting, emotions are expressed rarely, and deviation is easily tolerated. In highcultures, experts are valued, hard work is considered important, and a strong need for consensus is felt. Canada, the USA, and Hong Kong are considered low cultures, and Argentina and France are considered high cultures.
