The United States maintains a low power distance, meaning that people in business are treated as equal human beings even if they are of different business titles. A higher power culture puts more privilege in job title and inequalities between people are more commonly seen and accepted. Even though the United States has a low power distance, this country generally has a masculine value system. A masculine culture puts emphasis on being assertive and achieving material status, whereas a feminine culture focuses less on individual accomplishment and more on meaningful relationships. This difference in cultural dimensions is particularly interesting as females in the U.S.
The top management of the company were stakeholders in the company, making them virtually irreproachable. Employees who worked directly for the top management such as assistants, secretaries, and receptionists tended to be almost exclusively younger attractive women. The company was a service related industry with many branch offices, so the bulk of the company resided at locations other than the main office where she worked.

This means women now have the choice whether to have a family or have a career.
With more women in the work force, in 2003, women composed 46.6% of the labor force (Amaral, 2003), and the longer hours that everyone works, on the job relationships do happen. Gautier states in the article, that there are several reasons why they have relationships at work. Some of the reasons are because of their similarities with their coworkers such as similar beliefs, attitudes, education and backgrounds as a root of attraction between coworkers (Gautier, 2007).

Gorard found that the gender gap in achievement was stable from 1975 up until 1988 when it increased rapidly. This was when GCSE and with it coursework was introduced. Mitsos and Browne support the view that GCSE’s favoured girls as they were more successful in coursework due to the fact that girls are seen to be more careful with their work, more likely to spend longer on their work and meet deadlines. However, Ellwood argues that although coursework has had some influence, exams themselves have a greater influence in the final grade. Therefore this does not create a significant gap between gender differences.

2. Problem Analysis Miscommunication can be experienced in a relationship between men and women in the field of love, friendship or family. However in the past few years women are more likely to find a job and to work on a career, which means that more women can be found in the work place.

However the cooperation cannot be smoothly all the time, whereas ideas and the way of communicating of men and women differ significantly.
