1) Power distance (PDT)
Power Distance values related to peoples relationships with elders and authority, or dependence and independence values, are included in dimensions called power distance(Hofstede and GLOBE) and in Schwartz's dimension hierarchy versus egalitarian- ism. The dimensions overlap, but are not totally the same. Power distance measures the extent to which less powerful members of a society accept and expect that power is distributed unequally It is reflected in the values of both the less powerful and more powerful members of society. In large power distance culture. the focus is on equality in rights and opportunity. In high power distance cultures, there are strong dependency relationships between parents and children, bosses and sub- ordinates, professors and students, as well as between governments and citizens. In low power distance cultures, children are raised to be independent at a young age. Pakistan will avoid becoming dependent on others, and they do not want others, with the possible exception of immediate family members, to be dependent on them. Whereas independence is an important value for low power distance cultures dependence and obedience characterize high power distance cultures. Thailand communication theory, formulated power distance as follows: "Each person has a specific place within the scheme of the world. which is by definition hierarchical. Those in higher positions always have more power and this is taken for granted as the natural scheme of things.Generally, thailand countries there are some differences with respect to country scores. which may indicate that the values measured by the two may not be exactly the same. In high power distance cultures, ones social status must be clear so that others can show proper respect.
