Sure, let's address each question one by one.

QUESTION 16: The answer is Culture: shared beliefs, values, and practices, that participants must learn.

• Material Culture: This refers to the physical objects, resources, and spaces that people use to define their culture. These include homes, neighborhoods, cities, schools, churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, offices, factories, and plants, as well as goods and products, from toys to airplanes.
• Beliefs: These are specific ideas that people hold to be true. They are part of culture but do not encompass the entire concept.
• Culture: This is the correct answer. Culture includes shared beliefs, values, and practices that participants must learn. It encompasses the social behavior and norms found in human societies.
• Values: These are the standards by which people define what is desirable or undesirable, good or bad, beautiful or ugly. They are part of culture but do not encompass the entire concept.

QUESTION 17: The answer is the tenets or convictions that people hold to be true.

• Established, written rules: These are formalized norms or laws, not beliefs.
• How to behave in accordance with what a society has defined as good, right, and important, and most members of the society adhere to them: This describes norms, not beliefs.
• The tenets or convictions that people hold to be true: This is the correct answer. Beliefs are the ideas that people accept as true.
• The standards society would like to embrace and live up to: These are values, not beliefs.

QUESTION 18: The answer is Cultural Relativism: the practice of assessing a culture by its own standards rather than viewing it through the lens of one's own culture.

• Diffusion: This refers to the spread of cultural beliefs and social activities from one group to another.
• Ethnocentrism: This is the practice of evaluating another culture according to the standards of one's own culture, often leading to a belief in the superiority of one's own culture.
• Popular Culture: This refers to mainstream, widespread patterns among a society's population.
• Cultural Relativism: This is the correct answer. It is the practice of assessing a culture by its own standards rather than viewing it through the lens of one's own culture.
