Question

In New York’s “Chinatown,” most residents are of Chinese descent. On the streets and in the homes and businesses, Mandarin and Cantonese are often spoken. Stores stock foods, reading materials, pharmaceuticals, and other goods that are common to mainland China. Chinatown is not the only example of an ethnic enclave in the United States. In Dallas, Texas, one area neighborhood is known as “Little Mexico”—most signs are printed in Spanish, and menudo, a spicy stew made of cow stomach, is a restaurant menu staple. And in Miami, Florida, “Little Havana” is a community where Cuban culture is strong. When compiling a guide to cultures found in the United States, one could make a long list of areas like these. Which concept best describes this cultural landscape? a. cultural totality b. cultural ectomorphism c. cultural partiality d. cultural pluralism

Answer 1

Answer:

The following concept best describes this cultural landscape:

d. cultural pluralism

Explanation:

Cultural pluralism can be described as the ability of a smaller and/or non-native culture to retain their cultural identity within a major/larger society and the majority society partakes in and/or accepts the immigrant culture through food, architecture, language, available goods and services, music, etc. States with large immigrant populations such as California, Texas, New York, and Florida have multiple examples of this type of society.
