The root of social, political, and economic tragedy is often:
a. acceptance of acculturation.
b. cultural attitudes.
c. cultural translation.
d. resistance to change.
D
To protect and maintain our sociopolitical culture, we tend to resist change. This resistance can have negative sociopolitical and economic consequences. Acceptance of acculturation is the process whereby an individual accommodates to the traits of another culture. Cultural attitudes are often vague; however, they do not cause social, political, or economic tragedy. Cultural translation describes a cultural barrier that exists without a language barrier.
