Governments that are not comfortable with the influence of outside cultures on their population encourage _____.

cultural divergence

Governments that are not comfortable with the influence of outside cultures on their population encourage cultural divergence.

Cultural divergence is a concept that refers to the deliberate efforts of a government or society to maintain or preserve their own cultural practices, traditions, and values by limiting or resisting the introduction of foreign or external cultural influences. This can be done through various means such as promoting isolationism, implementing strict immigration policies, imposing restrictions on foreign cultural products, controlling the media and internet access, or enforcing regulations that discourage the adoption of foreign cultural practices.

To arrive at this answer, you can consider the meanings of the other options as well:

- Cultural diffusion refers to the spread of cultural beliefs, practices, and ideas from one society to another. It typically refers to the exchange and mixing of cultures that occurs through globalization, migration, trade, and communication. Therefore, cultural diffusion would not be encouraged by governments seeking to limit external cultural influence.

- Cultural convergence refers to the process where different cultures become similar or merge together as a result of globalization and increased contact between societies. It involves the blending and adoption of cultural traits and practices from various sources. Again, this is not what a government that prefers to maintain the purity of its own culture would encourage.

- Cultural mosaics refer to societies or regions that consist of multiple distinct and coexisting cultures. This term is often used to describe multicultural societies where different ethnic, religious, and cultural groups live side by side while maintaining their own distinct cultural identities. Cultural mosaics may be encouraged by governments aiming to celebrate diversity and promote inclusiveness, but it doesn't align with governments aiming for cultural divergence.
