Answer:

A) Culture shock

Explanation:

This is a clear example of what A) culture shock is: When someone is on a trip far from his homeland he experiences other cultures which have differents approaches to life (such as the kiss, or other´s like religion, food, dancing, clothing, sports etc.). When one encounters such different approaches <u>there´s always a chance of being shoked </u>by them (like our friend Rodney).

The answer clearly is not B) imperialism beacuse Rodney does not have any political or military attitude towards the italians. Neither is                      C) ethnocentrism because Rodney is not making a judgement towards the italian salute, he was simply suprised. And is not D) xenocentrism because  Rodney is not prefering the Italian way of saluting over the american way.

The news media sometimes report functional brain imaging findings accurately, but often report them in oversimplified ways, such
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: The objective of this analysis is to review a spectrum of functional brain imaging technologies to identify whether there are any imaging modalities that are more effective than others for various brain pathology conditions. This evidence-based analysis reviews magnetoencephalography (MEG), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), positron emission tomography (PET), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for the diagnosis or surgical management of the following conditions: Alzheimer’s disease (AD), brain tumors, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Parkinson’s disease (PD).

The reporter interpreted the findings correctly. In Ontario, there will be an estimated 950 new cases and 580 deaths due to brain cancer in 2006. Treatments for brain tumors include surgery and radiation therapy. However, one of the limitations of radiation therapy is that it damages tissue though necrosis and scarring. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may not distinguish between radiation effects and resistant tissue, creating a potential role for functional brain imaging.
