Which scenario best depicts a
collectivistic culture?
A. A non-mainstream culture's atitude
is, "Every man for himself."
B. A particular cultural group promotes
doing business within their extended
family and fellow countrymen.
C. A mixed Asian community is eager to
assimiliate into American society.
D. One Asian group has a long-standing
animosity toward a rival Asian group
I know ethnocentrism is the inability
of an individual to view another ethnic groupas equal or valid members of society. And that enthnocentrism can lead to biased attitudes and racist behavior.
Would the best answer be:
(B) a particular cultural group promotes doing business within their extended family and fellow countrymen.
