Haha från den artikeln:



Det kan kanske krossa mina fördomar om asiater

Ja, men läs vidare. Jag skulle säga att ett "maskulint samhälle" tyder på ett kyligt, otrevligt och våldsamt samhälle:

Characteristics of a masculine culture:

• priorities are achievement, wealth, expansion, and war

• in politics, conflicts are resolved by aggression

• women's liberation means that women begin to participate in male-dominated areas

• a low number of women represented in politics

• manufacturing and business are seen as more important than arts and healing

• the ideal icon is the soldier/warrior or successful entrepreneur

• professionals often "live to work" (i.e. - long work hours and little use of vacation time)

• cultural origins are in warmer and relatively mild climates where there was little need to concentrate on environmental survival, hence a low use of cooperation

Characteristics of a feminine culture:

• priorities are relationships, nurturance, environmental protection, and quality of life

• conflicts solved by negotiation, with aggression as a last resort

• women's liberation means that men and women should share equal roles

• a high number of women in politics

• arts and healing are more important than manufacturing and business

• the ideal icon is someone who helps and nurtures the community[

• professionals "work to live" (i.e. - short work hours and high use of vacation time)

• cultural origins are usually from cold and/or environmentally harsh conditions where cooperation was necessary in order to survive (tundras, deserts, etc)
