_____

Military and law enforcement organizations are often used as examples of high-power distance cultures. In a high-power distance culture, you would probably be much less likely to challenge your boss's decisions, provide an alternative, or give input. If you have ever worked in a low-power distance culture, you would be comfortable (and maybe even expected) to challenge your supervisors. In low-power distance cultures, according to Geert Hofstede, people relate to one another more as equals and less as a reflection of their formal roles as employees and managers.

1. Watch the following video to learn more about how power cultures will influence your ability to effectively communicate in law enforcement.

2. Assume you are more comfortable with high-power distance cultures. Think about a low-power organization that you might interact with in the future. How would you need to modify your communication to a low-power organization? 

The assignment should be a minimum of 300 words in APA format. A title page is not necessary. Remember to cite any outside sources according to APA format.
