Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's way of living and behaving is the best way. This includes the emotional attitude that the values, beliefs, and perceptions of one's ethnic group are superior to those of others. Culture is a pattern of assumptions, beliefs, and practices that unconsciously frames or guides the outlook and decisions of a group of people. A culture is composed of individuals who share a set of values, beliefs, and practices that serve as a frame of reference for individual perception and judgments. Ethnicity is an affiliation of a set of persons who share a unique cultural, social, and linguistic heritage. Superiority is the state or quality of being superior; it does not include ethnicity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Many cultures ascribe attributes of health to natural forces. Many individuals of the Native American culture view health as a state of harmony with nature and the universe. This belief is not consistent with Japanese, African-American, or Hispanic American cultural groups.
