Ans: B
Cultural blindness occurs when one ignores differences and proceeds as though they do not exist, resulting in bias and stereotyping. Acculturation is the process by which members of a culture adapt or learn how to take on the behaviors of another group. Cultural imposition is the tendency to impose one's cultural beliefs, values, and patterns of behavior on a person from a different culture. Stereotyping is when one assumes that all members of a culture, ethnic group, or race act alike.
