The position described qualifies as an example of ethnocentrism. Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own cultural practices and beliefs are superior to those of other cultures. In this case, the individual is judging the cultural practice of eating dog from their own cultural perspective, without considering the cultural context in which it occurs. The individual is assuming that their own cultural practices and beliefs are the "right" ones, and that other cultures are inferior for not sharing these practices and beliefs. Therefore, the answer is D. Reentry shock and cultural shock refer to the disorientation and discomfort that individuals may experience when adjusting to a new culture, while cultural relativity is the idea that cultural practices and beliefs should be evaluated within their own cultural context, rather than from an external perspective.
