Question

Kurt and Mitch visit an Amish village on a class trip. "Let’s see if we can round up some old radios and appliances and drop them off for them later this week. I think they’ll appreciate it. They just don’t understand what they’re missing." Mitch rolls his eyes. Kurt’s perspective is an example of _______.

a. Behavioral normativityb. Cultural imperialismc. Material cultured. Ideal culture

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Cultural imperialism

Step-by-step explanation:

In sociology, cultural imperialism describes the perspective of dominating smaller or nondominant communities and cultures as these are considered as inferior from the dominant culture. Due to this, from this perspective, people might believe other cultures are inferior and should adapt to the dominant culture. This can be seen in the comment of Kurt about Amish people because he believes their values, beliefs, and ideas regarding technology are inferior as he expresses "They just don’t understand what they’re missing".
