I examined seven issues in British and American culture, the most interesting of which is
gender roles at work attitude. The additional readings provide a deeper understanding of what
factors influence gender roles and workplace behavior. 1.GENDER ROLE
Gender role is a normative behavior act for men and women in society. This role is also seen
as a form of gender division for work. Gender roles in society are noticed through a person's
actions, speaks, clothes, and behavior through their gender. The relationship between men and
women has become fairer and more polite. I chose this topic because it brings a lot of exciting
things about the opposite sex and the way two genders are represented in society.
Society has gender role expectations in every culture, but they can be very diverse in
another group. According to the article “Culture and gender,” we can see the role behaviors
created through the teaching of parents or the other elders. As a result, males are encouraged to
be dominant, while females will be encouraged to be nurturant-oriented. A truth about
socialization (Barry & Child, 1983; Block, 1983) is that caregivers need to encourage children
to participate in character-building courses essential for quickly assimilating into the culture as they become adolescents.
Perhaps the most commonly accepted assumption about sex differences is that masculine are
more likely to be violent in all civilizations where data is available (Goldstein & Segall, 1983;
Block, 1983; Khan & Cataio, 1984). Men are naturally aggressive and often decide too quickly
their intercultural interactions—failure to spend the time fixing the main point of people from
another culture. In most societies, men are the ones who have aggressive avoidance in the war.
In all kinds of intergroup aggressions, and intragroup homicide. Men evolved in more rough
and tumble play, attempting to dominate or joining more physical aggression. In terms of
entertainment, men prefer to watch reality shows or some competitive programs. According to
polygynous marriage systems, in 93 percent of societies, men can easily mate with several
women, whereas women can match one. In polygynous civilizations, aggressiveness is prized,
and male offspring are trained to be violent (Low, 1989). For example, if the social population
has men and women equally divided, the men will have several mates whereas the others will
not. As a result, it will create a struggle between men for what belongs to them. Furthermore,
men are the ones who compete fiercely in society for status and wealth. They will fight
successfully to protect the things related to survival. Contrary to the man's behavior, a woman
is always skilled in dealing with others across cultures and always emotional and sensitive to
people’s stress during intercultural interactions.
Nurturance and obedience in women are the opposite sides of men’s aggressiveness because
women are meticulous, hard-working, and often more emotional than men. Women are the ones
who can bear children and ensure complete care for children and families. Therefore, their
ability to take care of others is much better than that of men. To provide the best care, women
need the highest-status men to cover the families for survival. Obedient women support
dominating men by dutifully carrying out their family responsibilities (Culture and Gender p.296).
The visible difference between men and women in activity level. Compared with high-intensity
physical activities, men are more curious and more exploring than women. They engage in high
levels of the playing field or the playground. If females want to play games with men, they may
withdraw due to the potential injury to their bodies that violent competition can cause. Females
dislike the aggressive play preferred by boys, which is one reason for the regular observation of
gender differentiation among children beyond the age of six (Maccoby, 1990),
(Culture and gender p. 297). The second is that boys always listen to the same sex for making a
choice or decisions about the game. The girl may fail out of the group because they have
different sex than others. Females were more likely to offer helpful advice. The use of direct
orders was more common among boys (Culture and gender p.298). As I said above, adolescent
girls will be upset when they can join in the high activity level with the other sex. The teenage
females were capable of meeting this expectation by doing things like assisting their moms in
household work, and as a result, they were content with their gender stereotypes (Culture and gender p.299).
The relationship between men and women in the article “Living in the U.S.A.” In the first,
adult dating is only seen as a meeting to get to know each other, not into an official
relationship. If the other offers you a second date you do not like, you have to refuse it directly.
This means you will be polite and respectful with others. Today’s American women have their
ideas, strong personalities, and are very independent. In addition, they can decide their own life
without a man. When men and women have a date together, they hang out, go to the theatre,
and dine together. It is common to “go dutch” on a date. For instance, they will share money
not only the men pay during the date, but the women also happily share it with their lover.
Youths are really quite open and honest when it comes to discussing who will pay and what for
(Living in the U.S.A p.56). As a result, they feel equal between the sexes.
A lady can eat meals alone in a restaurant, then she should avoid sophisticated, costly
restaurants in metropolitan areas, as well as glamorous nightclubs with floor shows and
dancing (Living in the U.S.A p.56). If the women go alone, they will often be teased and put in
danger with perverts. A single woman should usually go to the public bars with friends or
places with tight security like cocktail lounges in hotels. In today's environment, a single lady
should avoid having a long chat with a single man who meets her in a crowded location in one
of the major cities. A few words and a smile are okay, but if a man continues a communication,
he may seek a "pickup," slang for a quick sex session. Until you've gotten to know him well,
don't let him see or know your address or id number.
Single men and women who arrive at a career in the Us will frequently have to put in some
effort to meet individuals for possible friendships or dating. Office workers are more likely to
be family people who rush home at 5 p.m. to see their husbands and children. Singles often
have apprehensions about forming a close connection with someone they see and interact with
daily. Sexual harassment is also a hot topic these days, as described in Chapter 8.
If you're a single female, your best option for meeting men—or women, for that issue is to
participate in sports or join a club or group. Join us to go snowboarding, or play tennis, or go
swimming. If you're not into sports, join a choir, join a reading club, or engage in a class that
attracts both men and women, such as pottery, photography. It is obviously fine to ask a single
man to dinner or a celebration, either individually or in a group, but accepting a date with an
unknown person is not. Also, bare in mind that an invitation to beverages in your place can
occasionally be misinterpreted by a single man as an offer to sex as well (American social life p.57).
Gender is not innate but is formed in the process of living, studying and working of people from
childhood to adulthood. To be successful at work, you need to know where your gender roles are.
Indeed, it demonstrates that various factors impact an individual's work attitude, which strongly
encourages me to research the subject further. The text goes into additional depth about the impact of cultures.
Hofstede introduced the notion of national cultural dimensions (Hofstede, n.d.). As a result, the culture of
a nation may be assessed using a set of six indicators, each ranging from 1 to 100. You may check for
hands-on a country's culture and related discussion, such as in Vietnam.
The resultant translation for Vietnam is shown below, along with comparisons to Japan and the United
States. The interpretations for Vietnam that resulted appear to be comparable. The corporate culture of a
country is heavily influenced by its culture. \.
Source :(Country Comparison - Hofstede Insights, n.d.) 1) Power distance
This trait refers to the unequal distribution of persons in society. It reflects the culture's perspective on
disparities. Power gap refers to how much less powerful members of institutions and organizations in the
community anticipate and tolerate an unequal allocation of power.
Vietnam received a high score (70d), demonstrating that everyone understands a hierarchy in which
everyone has a position and there is no need for extra justifications. The ideal boss is a benign dictator,
and size indicates inherent inequities in a company. Centralized management is prevalent, as is what
employees are supposed to perform. Employee challenges to leadership are seldom seen favorably. 2) (Individualism)
This element is concerned with the degree of association that a society maintains among its members. It's
important to analyze if people's self-image is defined in terms of "I" or "We." In an individualist culture,
people are expected to look out for themselves and their immediate family. In collectivist civilizations,
people belong to a 'cage,' a group that looks after them in exchange for their loyalty.
With a score of 20, Vietnam is a country with a collectivist society. This is shown in a strong, long-term
commitment to a group of "members" - whether family, clan, or bigger ties. In a collectivist culture,
loyalty is paramount and takes precedence over all other rules and laws. In such a culture, strong ties are
fostered, and everyone has a duty to the other members of the community. In collectivist societies, insults
result in shame and the loss of face. The employer-employee connection is held in high regard (as if it
were a family), and hiring and promotion decisions are made depending on whether or not the employee
is a member of the group. Group management is referred to as management.
3) Masculinity vs. Femininity
Assume you'll get a good grade (Masculine). In this situation, competition, achievement, and success, as
defined by the greatest winner/individual in the field, drive society. This value system begins in the
classroom and extends throughout the organization's lifespan.
If the score is low (Feminine), it means that the dominating values in society are concern for others and
quality of life. Living well is a measure of accomplishment in Feminist society, and standing out from
the crowd is not something to be proud of. What matters is what motivates people: a desire to excel
(masculine) or a desire to enjoy their work (feminine) (feminine).
Vietnam received a 40 on this criteria, indicating that it is a Feminist society. The emphasis in women's
nations is on "working to live," with managers seeking agreement and employees stressing equality,
solidarity, and excellence in their job. Compromise and negotiation are used to resolve conflicts.
4) Uncertainty Avoidance
This aspect has to do with how society deals with the realization that the future is unpredictably
unpredictable: should it be attempted to be controlled or should it be allowed to unfold naturally? This ambiguity
Anxiety is caused by this, and different cultures have created different techniques to deal with it. This
score represents how individuals in a culture see ambiguous or confusing occurrences, as well as the
attitudes and institutions that have developed to attempt to avoid them.
Vietnam has already passed the 30-year mark and hence has no motivation to avoid uncertainty. Facts
take precedence over principles in low-index cultures, and departures from the norm are more easily
tolerated. Low-income residents believe that there should be no more regulation than is required, and that
any regulations that are unclear or ineffective should be eliminated or changed. Because accuracy and
timeliness are enforced, the timetable is relatively flexible, and individuals only work as hard as they
need to. Innovation is not perceived as a danger.
Application in real life:
For example, KFC frequently focuses on advertising in the United States, conducting buy one, get
one promotion (one hamburger, get one free fries). Still, KFC often runs advertisements in China,
Vietnam, and Korea. 2-4 person combinations, as well as family combos. KFC knows that America
is a culture of individualism, but China and Vietnam are cultures of collectivism. . As a Vietnamese
living in a high-power-distance society, you will need to adapt your working style to fit into the
German working environment, which is very low-power-distance.
After reading a number of academic publications and completing this course for eight weeks, Gender has
a big influence on how I live and work. The first is about external factors including personality, gender,
and lifestyle. Each person will be familiar with their surroundings and culture. References
