Solution

failed
Answer

The answer is stereotyping.

Explanation
Option 1: Ethnocentrism

Ethnocentrism involves evaluating other cultures according to the standards of one's own culture, often with a belief in the superiority of one's own culture. The statement does not reflect this concept, as it does not involve a comparison or judgment based on the American businessperson's own cultural standards.

Option 2: Tolerance

Tolerance refers to the acceptance and open-mindedness towards different cultures and practices. The statement does not indicate acceptance or open-mindedness; rather, it makes a generalized assumption about Swiss people.

Option 3: Stereotyping

Stereotyping involves making generalized and oversimplified assumptions about a group of people. The statement that all Swiss are hardworking, efficient, and neat is a stereotype because it attributes specific characteristics to an entire group without acknowledging individual differences.

Option 4: A cultural norm

A cultural norm refers to the shared expectations and rules that guide behavior within a specific culture. The statement does not describe a cultural norm but rather a generalized belief about a group of people.
