I left my book at school and now trying to search everywhere to find some of these answers. I've complete more than half of my questions but have 4 that I cant figure out to include this one:

Which of the following is NOT valid?
1 Outside forces have lead to the extinction of some forms of local/indigenous art.

2 Outside forces have lead to the expansion of some forms of local/indigenous art.

3 Tourism has played a consistently positive role in promoting indigenous/local forms of expressive culture.

4 Adaptation to forces of expressive cultural change include both syncretism as well as resistance.

I'd say 3. It's the only "extreme" answer: you can't say that it was CONSISTENTLY positive because there are many instances where it was negative

I'm reading an article from Western Michigan and it points towards tourism because it states tourism isn't always positive?

I agree. Good thinking, cain.

To find the answer to this question, you need to analyze each statement and identify the one that is NOT valid. Let's break down each option:

1. "Outside forces have led to the extinction of some forms of local/indigenous art." To determine if this statement is valid, you need to consider instances where external influences led to the disappearance of certain local or indigenous art forms.

2. "Outside forces have led to the expansion of some forms of local/indigenous art." To evaluate the validity of this statement, you should think about situations where external factors contributed to the growth or development of local or indigenous art forms.

3. "Tourism has played a consistently positive role in promoting indigenous/local forms of expressive culture." Here, you have to assess if tourism has consistently had a positive impact on promoting and preserving indigenous or local expressive culture.

4. "Adaptation to forces of expressive cultural change include both syncretism as well as resistance." This option suggests that when faced with cultural changes, adaptation involves a combination of syncretism (the blending of different cultural elements) and resistance (opposition to change). Consider if this statement accurately reflects the processes of cultural adaptation.

Now, review each statement critically and determine which one is NOT valid based on your knowledge and understanding.
