Answer to Question 1

A
The European value orientation has had an important influence on U.S. culture with the dominant beliefs of achievement and success; individualism, independence, and self-reliance; activity, work, and ownership; efficiency, practicality, and reliance on technology; material comfort; competition and achievement; and youth and beauty.

Answer to Question 2

A
Members of some cultural groups have historically and globally expressed oppression in the forms of racism, sexism, and classism. The basic underlying premise of these biases is that one way is assumed to be better or right and every other way is inferior. Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own culture is superior to all others, a belief that is common to all cultural groups and may be conscious or unconscious.
