Question

Surveys of nearly 400 Europeans revealed that an important factor in determining whether attitudes toward a minority group will become more favorable is whether
a. one has a friend who is a member of that minority group.
b. the minority group tends to be submissive.
c. the minority group has a history of significant accomplishment.
d. the language of the minority group can be easily mastered.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. One has a friend who is a member of that minority group.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option "a" because having a friend who is part of a minority group makes the person that is not part of the minority group getting more involve in the group and understanding the problems and situations the group lives every day in a more deeply way.

If you do not know anyone that is part of a minority group you never 'get in touch' with the problems and situations the group lives and you never 'put yourself in their shoes', you are more likely to ignore what is happening with the minority group.
