Understanding The Concept of “Power Distance” Between Cultures
There is big difference in the setup of the society in the west and in Thailand. You should now see how this context affects very simple decision-making processes in your partners mind.These understandings will help you to form a close bond and really understand the other person, rather than being judgmental and causing problems.
The power distance is a concept that can really help to live in harmony with your partner’s beliefs.In simple terms, the power distance concept relates to beliefs about the equality of people.In general most cultures believe that all people are created equal, however, in some cultures they believe that people do not remain equal.
This relates directly to the attitudes that your partner will have on many subjects, so it is very important that you pay attention here.Lets see how this relates directly to western and Thai cultures. In the west, people believe that inequalities between people should be minimized.
Whereas in Thailand, they believe that inequalities are good, expected and are desired. Here’s how this relates to a Thai-western relationship.Because the Thai culture desires inequalities, there are clear boundaries between family members, older members of society and those in authority. Parents tech their children to be obedient to elders in Thailand. In the west, parents teach their children to be equals.
For many western men, this can be a big shock.They will be expected to subordinate themselves to their wife or girlfriends’ parents. For a man who has been self-reliant and independent all his life, this is a difficult thing to do.
