Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Enculturation is defined as cultural beliefs passed down from one generation to the next. Accul-turation is the process by which persons from one culture adapt to another. Ethnicity is defined as the cultural group that one identifies with. Cultural competence involves stepping outside our own biases and understanding that others bring a different set of values.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
Disengagement theory posits that older adults withdraw from society in order to allow the trans-fer of power to younger adults. Gerotranscendence theory posits similarly that older adults with-draw from society, but for different reasons. These reasons include giving the individual the op-portunity for self-reflection and exploration. Time, material possessions, and superficial relation-ships have less meaning. The modernization theory posits that the status and value of elders is lost because their contributions are no longer valued.
