Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Usually culture is first learned from parents and siblings and then from peers, teachers, neighbors, books, television, and other media. Thus, it is not innate instinct, a private idiosyncrasy, or a genetically programmed idea.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Culture is the knowledge, values, practices, customs, and beliefs of a group and includes a unique meaning and information system, shared by a group. Cultural competence is openness to others' ideas and ways of life; respect, curiosity, patience, and self-awareness of one's own culture and culturally mediated ideas. Cultural safety is the practice of providing culturally appropriate health services to disadvantaged groups while stressing dignity and avoiding institutional racism, assimilation (forcing people to adopt a dominant culture), and repressive practices. Ethnocentrism is the assumption that others believe and behave as the dominant culture does, or the belief that the dominant culture is superior to others.
