Germany- Josh Rogers

Germany is individualistic with a low power distance.

Even though Germany is very similar to the United States in Power Distance, they are more concerned with respect. For example, even if someone tells you their first name you are to address them by their title and surname until given permission to use their first name. Punctuality is important in Germany and it is very disrespectful to show up late.
Germany may be ranked more individualistic however in business they are not care as much about relationships or interpersonal skill but rather effectiveness at ones job. When entering a room the order is very important, the eldest or highest ranking enters first, then men before women.
Their homes are very private and only close friends and relatives are invited in.  Being as individualistic as they are this means that even aunts, uncles, and cousins, may not be invited into their homes because they are mostly only concerned with immediate family.
With all this being said it is important to remember that these are stereotypes and many of the individuals are quite different.
