Q 30. Which of the following is the sociocultural concept of race?

Answer: The perspective that characteristics, values, and behaviors that have been associated with groups of people who share different physical characteristics serve the social purpose of providing a way for outsiders to view another group and for members of a group to perceive themselves.

Answer: All of the above

A group of people who shares similar characteristics based on education, income, social status and control represents a class. Ally in a class should be concerned about marginalized groups because they can also be a target of marginalization tomorrow. To help marginalized groups to have access to denied privileges and enter into economic, political, social and cultural mainstreams should be an objective of any class lecture of an ally.Marginalized groups require a personal and systemic level assistance to come out of their dilemmas. There would be broad levels of assumptions and biased formed about marginal groups and an ally should understand this before strategizing ways to fix it.

Q 33. The definition of multicultural competence reviewed in the textbook is:

Answer : The ability to work and be effective with individuals who are of a different culture than your own

The knowledge, skills and attributes required to live and work in a diverse world is termed as multicultural competence. Individuals are unique and there may be differences and multicultural competence is not exactly dealing with all these differences. Making friends from different cultures, and building an open mind about one's culture are not in the scope of multicultural competence.

Q 34. What is one potential limitation of multicultural competence?

Answer: You may incorrectly apply cultural knowledge to a member of a group

Multicultural competence may make one assume people as presumed members of certain dominant groups, pushing racialized and ethnic minority folks totally invisible.

The knowledge, skills and attributes required to live and work in a diverse world is termed as multicultural competence. This is practiced across healthcare, educational, information technology and knowledge work domains.

One of the objectives of cultural competence is to understand different cultural perspectives, and be sensitive to people irrespective of their culture, strengthen relationships and march towards equality in opportunity.

Q 35. Which of the following is usually defined based on legal citizenship?

Answer: Nationality. This is governed by specific law of the land and is the status of belonging to a particular country.

Ancestry can not be defined based on legilsation as this is the origin of a person's family. Ethnicity is a state of belonging to a social group which has a common cultural aspect and is not maintained by legislation. Race is a kind of categorization of humans by perceived inherited traits and is not legalised.

Q 36. When deciding how to respond to discrimination, it is important to consider:

Answer: All of the above

Discrimination can be defined as an unfair treatment of people or groups on the basis of individual or groups' gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality etc. Dealing with discrimination is a larger social issue and hence one should have good understanding of the social injustice, the risks involved, the kind of strength and power one got before getting in to it. People who have created a discrimination scenario would have committed intentional and well aware of consequences as well. They might have a criminal mind as well.
