c. intrinsic; extrinsic
b. interdependent; independent
d. extrinsic; intrinsic

Answer 1

Answer:a. independent; interdependent

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Western culture people are more liberated and they believe in establishing their own independence at an early age , a person believe in having their own lives , own space and own freedom as soon as they hit atleast 18 years of age and they start to live alone away from home. To them this is what brings peace and joy and a feeling of satisfaction about one's life and success.

In the non Western culture people believe in living together as one big families , where all generations are present in one room so that the young receive wisdom from the elders of the house , and they believe in interrelationships, where each individual is dependent on the other and each person doesn't live for his or her own success but for the success of their whole house.
