Question

Shangrilah Sandals is a manufacturing firm in a developing country, where it routinely uses grease payments to local officials to expedite overseas shipments. It has decided to open a plant in the United States, and has determined that it would not offer any facilitating payments to U.S. officials. Shangrilah's behavior illustrates the straw man approach of

a. the righteous moralist
b. cultural relativism
c. ethnocentrism
d. just distribution
e. cultural convergence

Answer 1

b. cultural relativism

Step-by-step explanation:

Cultural relativism refers to the ideology that what applies to current situation do not necessarily apply to another situation also.

As in the given instance the Shangrilah Sandals make grease payments in their own country as it is a developing country, but do not practice the same in another country called US as it is a developed country.

As the income of people in that country is high they do not believe in taking or accepting grease payments.

Thus, the correct option is:

b. cultural relativism
