One who is aiming for achievement, competition and success and one who is looking for quality of life and does not care about standing out from everyone.

Orientation

Long term orientation focuses on the future of the of the country rather than focusing on the present and previous problems. This may include persistence, thrift and having a sense of shame, investment in real estate etc.

Individualism is the view that everyone is for themselves. Society is not wholly selfless rather people tend stick by their immediate families but on the other hand collectivism is when people put their extended family or close friends before themselves. Canada has a higher score because it is more of an individualistic country like America and people who tend to grow up in Canada live a better life than their parents and everyone focuses on their own goals. However, since there aren't many locals in the UAE, the majority of the population is made up of expatriates living there so people tend to remain within their cultural and ethnic groups.
