Question

Which of the following is the best example of blending? Loni is able to jump back and forth between her Hawaiian heritage cultural views and her Texan host cultural views. Dongraegu has embraced both the cultural values of his Korean heritage culture as well as those of his Canadian host culture. Bjorn is from a Swedish town where many people immigrate, leading to a very multicultural atmosphere. Sarah gained a much more interdependent self-construal after spending the last ten years in China, albeit less than that shown by Chinese. Jürgen has decided to accept the cultural values of his American host culture to fit in better, disregarding values from his German heritage culture.

Answer 1

Letter D is the correct answer.

Cultural blending happens when a person from a different country (or culture) experiences changes of lifestyle, behavior or beliefs when interacting with people from other cultures. Sarah is a good example of blending: she moved to China and lived there for 10 years where she developed a much more interdependent self-construal.
