Question

Asad's first grade class is diverse: there are two students from Korea, five students from South America, two students from the United States, three students from Kuwait, a student from Mexico, two students from England, and five students from western Europe. Asad's class is:

1) Segregated
2) Pluralistic
3) Assimilated
4) Profiled

Answer 1

Asad's first grade class, with its students from diverse geographic origins, is best described as pluralistic, suggesting a coexistence of multiple cultural traditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Asad's diverse first grade class with students from multiple regions such as Korea, South America, the United States, Kuwait, Mexico, England, and western Europe can be best described as pluralistic. In a pluralistic society, a multitude of groups maintain their distinct cultural traditions while coexisting with each other. In contrast, a segregated society is one where different groups are kept physically and socially separate and the term assimilated would imply that minority groups have conformed to the dominant society's norms, often losing their own cultural identity in the process. Asad's class does not fit the description of being profiled, as this implies a systematic way of using certain characteristics to single out individuals or groups for differential treatment, which is not described in the scenario.
