Exploring Collectivism in Morocco's Intercultural Dynamics

This piece by Fatima Zahra Kerdoudi delves into the intercultural parameters of Moroccan society, focusing on its collectivist nature. With a strong sense of community, Moroccans value relationships over individualism and demonstrate a high power distance, where hierarchy is significant. The culture is masculine, emphasizing material goals, and reflects an affective communication style. Additionally, the importance of ascription, where status is derived from age and family background, shapes social interactions. The approach to time is sequential, allowing flexibility to prioritize relationships.
