Explanation / Answer
1) "Why don't women have the mechanical skills to take care of their own cars?"
This statement throws light on the discrimination between male and female. Men are always thought that they can do the toughest work or they work they have majority in. Such interpretation can be defined under stereotypes.
Thus, the correct option is (B) Stereotypes.
2) "Honestly, can you believe it? Now the preschool wants to have "International food days" once a month! We're American-why can't the kids just eat American food?"
Here, it can be clearly understood from the statement that one culture is viewed as superior to other cultures, while being a part of society where there is a possibility of existence of multi-cultures. Being a person who belongs to a specific culture does not mean that people from other cultures cannot be followed or understood to promote brotherhood.
Thus, the correct option is (C) Ethnocentrism.
3) "Look I don't care what they do on their own time, but I'm not letting any gays join our Boy Scout troop. It's just not right."
This statement is also a clear example of discrimination where some people from a different community are not allowed to enter or join another group.
Thus, the correct option is (A) Discrimination.
4) A company that has ____________ can expect less creative team ideas and solutions.
Monoculture describes a culture where a similar kind of culture exists and there is always a ignorance or hesitation to new variety of culture.
Thus, the correct option is (C) a monoculture.
