Answer 1

Subtle Unconscious Discrimination

Step-by-step explanation:

This form of discrimination is unintentional. It also does not bear bad intention. It is simply an automatic act of segregation that comes from groups with opposing beliefs or ways of life.

The American is shocked to find out that members of culture Z don't bathe daily or even monthly. He is shocked because the opposite is the case in his own culture.

He judges people of culture Z as dirty because if an American didn't bathe regularly, he or she would be tagged as dirty.

On the other hand, the person from culture Z is shocked to find out that Americans bathe regularly. The opposite is the case in Land Z. He judges the Americans to be wasteful because if a member of Culture Z bathed more often than twice a year, that person would be tagged abnormal or wasteful and compulsive.

Answer 2

It's an example of Ethnocentrism

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethnocentrism is a traditional human behavior. It's the tendency to see other cultures based on your culture. You see them as strangers because that belief, ritual, custom or way to see the world is not usual on your culture. And the same thing happens to them. It's completely normal when you have no contact with the culture you are studying.
