The growing multiculturalism of American society can contribute to ethnicity conflicts when:
a. providing care to different cultural groups.
b. individual values align with the cultural norms.
c. ethnic groups overburden the health care system.
d. the greater community's values are jeop-ardized by specific ethnic values.
ANS: D
Callahan offered perspectives on judging diversity and suggests a thoughtful tolerance and some degree of moral persuasion (not coercion) for ethnic groups to alter values so that they are more in keeping with what is normative in American culture. Providing care to different cultural groups should not produce an ethnicity conflict. Individual alignment with cultural norms would make it less likely that an ethnicity conflict would occur. Ethnic groups using the health care sys-tem will not cause it to be overburdened or result in an ethnicity conflict.
