Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

Culture shock is the disorientation that people feel when they encounter cultures radically different from their own and believe they cannot depend on their own taken-for-granted assumptions about life. When observing people from other cultures, many of us use our own culture as the yardstick by which we judge their behavior. Sociologists refer to this approach as ethnocentrismthe practice of judging all other cultures by one's own culture. It is based on the assumption that one's own way of life is superior to all others. Ethnocentrism can be positive (most schoolchildren are taught that their own school and country are the best). Ethnocentrism can also be negative (such as derogatory stereotypes that ridicule recent immigrants). An alternative to ethnocentrism is cultural relativismthe belief that the behaviors and customs of any culture must be viewed and analyzed by the culture's own standards. An example of cultural relativism could be trying to understand the Hindu taboo against killing cattle.
