Summary/Abstract: Romania and the United States are different in terms of geographical position, language, culture, economy and from many other perspectives. The present paper aims at analyzing comparatively the Romanian and American cultural dimensions and the values they treasure. The values can shape the way people behave and act, and consequently they can influence the development of any country. Based on Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and the Inglehart-Welzel Cultural Map of the World we analyze whether there are only differences between the two nations or there are values they share.
