The correct answer is “Globalization can cause confusion and discomfort as people adjust to different, often conflicting, cultural values and expectations.”
Indeed, the excerpt shows that Globalization causes confusion both for the host society and the immigrants. In this situation, the teacher lacks the cultural contextual information to understand that this Bengalese family is referring to their custom of having a school name for students. She is asking probing questions to try to understand if this is a middle name or a nickname.
The Bengalese parents seem to either lack the humility or the patience to explain exactly why they mean and provide her with the context she needs to understand their request. Another possibility is that they lack the education or linguistic tools to properly explain this.
Incomprehension goes both ways, had they been able or willing to explain this, the teacher would have been able to explain to them that their child can use a second school name in a personal context and have his friends and other students refer to him by such name but that with regards to academic records, American laws prohibit such practices as these records must match the exact legal identity of the student.

Hi Linda,
How's it going?
Sorry I haven't been in touch for such a long time but I've had exams so I've been studying every free minute. Anyway, I'd love to hear all your news and I'm hoping we can get together soon to catch up. We just moved to a bigger flat so maybe you can come and visit one weekend?
How's the new job?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Helga
Hi Helga,
I've been meaning to write to you for ages now so don't worry! How did your exams go? When will you know your results? I'm sure you did brilliantly as always!
As for me, I'll have been in the new job three months by the end of next week so I'm feeling more settled in. At first I felt like I had no idea what I was doing but now I realise it's normal to feel like that. There was a lot to learn – there still is actually – and I soon had to get used to the idea that I can't know everything. I used to work late a lot and at weekends but I'm slowly getting into a normal routine.
Which means I'd love to come and visit! We really need a good catch up! I can't believe we haven't seen each other since Carl's wedding. How does next month sound?
Anyway, I'd better get back to work.
Congratulations on the new flat! Can't wait to see you!
Love,
Linda
