Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Discrimination is differential treatment based on race, class, sex, or other variables rather than on individual merit. Stereotyping is believing that one member of a cultural group will display certain behaviors or hold certain attitudes (usually negative) simply because he or she is a member of that cultural group. Stigmatization is the attribution of negative characteristics or identity to one person or group, causing feelings of rejection, alienation, and ostracization from society. Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own cultural practices and values are inherently correct or superior to those of others.
