Question

__________ is grounded in physical attributes that have social meaning, whereas ___________ is a cultural-historical identification with a group. Which set of answers below best fits in the blanks above such that the first word in the set fits in the first blank and the second word in the set fits in the second blank. (These two words should make the sentence true and accurate regarding how sociologists understand these terms.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Race; ethnicity.

Explanation:

As the exercise explains, race is grounded in physical attributes which are then transformed to have social meaning (Darker or lighter skin, height, facial traits, etc.). Ethnicity, on the other hand, is a cultural-historical identification with a group, just like this explains, an identity. An ethnic group is a group of people who identify with eachother. The cause of this identity could be similar traits, geography, language, etc.
