1. Dynamic Externality. This dimension represents beliefs concerning external forces such as fate, a supreme being, and spirituality. It aids citizens to mobilize psychologically to confront environmental difficulties. “Belief in a religion helps one understand the meaning of life” and “good deeds will be rewarded, and bad deeds will be punished” are examples. Cultures high on this dimension tend to be more collectivistic, conservative, hierarchical; have high unemployment levels, less freedom, and fewer human-rights activities; and have aspirations for security, material resources, and longer life.
