Answer:

a. "Why won’t you look me in the eye when I am talking to you!"

Explanation:

In sociology, the term ethnocentrism refers to the phenomenon by which we measure other cultures based in the standards that we use in our own culture and therefore <u>this stops us from understanding other culture's norms and traditions.</u> In other words, we look at the world through the perspective of our own culture.

In this example, the option that has to do with judging one person based on the norms of our own culture would be a. "Why won’t you look me in the eye when I am talking to you!" since <u>in some cultures, looking to one person in the eye is considered a disrespectful sign </u>and <u>this person is judging the other one and getting upset because the other person is not looking at him/her in the eye when it's probably because of the different cultures they belong to. </u>

Why didn't Spain form colonies?
sergij07 [2.7K]
Idn't Spain have more colonies in Africa?
OK. During the era of exploration, the Portuguese were sailing around the coast of Africa and began their colonies in Mozambique, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and Sao Tome y Principe. By the 1500's, Spain was preoccupied by explanding their empire in the Americas. Africa was then ignored for centuries before the introduction of quamine, which allowed Europeans to travel inland in Africa without dropping like flies from malaria. Hence, in the 1870's the scramble for Africa began! The British and French, the two largest Western powers of the day, took the most land in Africa. Germany too took colonies...Cameroon, Tanzania, Togo and Namibia were German colonies before WWI. Even Belgium took the Congo (they actually began the Scramble for Africa after circumnaviagting the Congo River). After WWI, they would also take Rwanda and Burundi from the Germans.
