18. Group and Grid Analysis

Cultural group dynamics are influenced by varying levels of grid and group structures that determine individual roles, relationships, and opportunities for participation. Low grid indicates egalitarianism, where everyone shares equal roles, while high grid reflects hierarchical structures that enforce restrictions based on predetermined characteristics such as caste and creed. Different cultural lenses, including individualistic and egalitarian perspectives, shape how risks are perceived and managed within these groups.
