When a society's sociopolitical climate is enriched by varied ideas, viewpoints, problem-solving approaches, and increased tolerance, these outcomes are considered to be positive results of:
a. acculturation
b. cultural assimilation
c. cultural diversity
d. ethnocentrism
C
The term cultural diversity refers to differences among people resulting from racial, ethnic, and cultural variables. In countries like the United States, a wide variety of cultural groups have contributed to society in many ways. When there are differences among and between cultural groups in a country, this diversity can contribute to social problems because of misunderstanding and unfamiliarity with different cultures. Some of these social problems result from bias or prejudice of individuals or groups toward other groups.
