Explain the tension that might exist between accommodating the lifestyle choices of other cultures and maintaining your own identity in the face of differences

What will be an ideal response?


The answer should recognize that accepting and accommodating the lifestyle choices of other cultures can lead to a transcendence of differences, yet you can run the risk of losing your own identity by accepting the others' way of thinking or doing. An example of this could be the effect of peer pressure to engage in behavior that your culture (e.g., family) rejects as inappropriate but is completely acceptable to the other.
