The term stereotype refers to classifying or categorizing people and believing that all those belonging to a certain group are alike. Prejudice is a belief based on preconceived notions about certain groups of people. Prejudices can be unfair, biased beliefs. Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own culture is the best and only acceptable way. It shows lack of cultural sensitivity. Subcultures are groups within dominant cultures.

A
Feedback:
Because the right bronchus is shorter, straighter down, and wider than the left, it is more easily accessible. Therefore, the right bronchus, not the left bronchus or right or left bronchioles, are more susceptible to aspiration of fluids or foreign objects.
