Question

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.

Answer 1

Yes. A collectivist culture leans strongly toward doing what is best for the extended family and tribe. The best answer is B.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Yes, you are correct. The scenario that best depicts a collectivistic culture is option B, where a particular cultural group promotes doing business within their extended family and fellow countrymen. In collectivistic cultures, such as many Asian cultures, there is a strong emphasis on group harmony, loyalty, and interdependence. People prioritize the needs and goals of the group over individual desires. This is reflected in the practice of doing business within the extended family and fellow countrymen, as it reinforces the idea of collective support and cooperation.
