What do “cultural differences” mean?

“Culture is the collective programming of

the mind distinguishing the members of one group or category of people from others” (G. Hofstede)
Cultural dimensions are value constructs, which can be used to describe a specific culture.
Values are a “desirable transsituational goals, varying in importance, that serve as guiding principles in the life of a person or other social entity” (S. Schwartz)

Objective Elements of Culture

The objective elements of culture involve objective, explicit elements

that are physical.
These would include architecture, clothes, foods, art, eating utensils, and the like. In today’s world, advertising, texts, architecture, art, mass media, television, music, the Internet, Facebook, and Twitter are all physical, tangible, and important artifacts of culture (Lamoreaux & Morling, in press; Morling & Lamoreaux, 2008).
A recent study actually analyzed millions of digitized books—about 4% of all books ever printed—to investigate cultural trends over time (Michel et al., 2011) and demonstrated changes in vocabularies, grammar, collective memory, the adoption of technology, the pursuit of fame, censorship, and historical epidemiology.

Cultural Complexity

The ecology and history of a society determine its complexity:
societies

that subsist on hunting, fishing, and food gathering tend to be simple;
agricultural societies tend to be somewhat complex;
industrial societies tend to be more complex;
informational societies are the most complex.
Associated with higher complexity are:
settlement size, level of political integration, population density, complex social stratification; a lot of different occupations; much of expressive realm of culture (art, music, dance, games, religion), value of time etc.

A high score (masculine) on this dimension indicates that the society

will be driven by competition, achievement and success. A low score (feminine) on the dimension means that the dominant values in society are caring for others and quality of life.
The fundamental issue here is what motivates people, wanting to be the best (masculine) or liking what you do (feminine).
