Question 4

Multiculturalism is about acknowledging and celebrating the diversity of different cultures. A focus on a single culture is not multiculturalism, and the belief in one culture's superiority is ethnocentrism or cultural imperialism. So the correct option is the one about recognizing and celebrating cultural diversity.

Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own culture is better than others. The elite culture in society is not ethnocentrism, and the mix of many cultures is multiculturalism or pluralism. So the correct option is the one about the belief that one’s own culture is superior.

Social control uses rewards and punishments to enforce norms. Prisons punish deviant behavior, and diplomas reward conforming (like completing education). Rewarding everyone equally is not how social control works, and free education in prisons is not the main way prisons/diplomas act as social control. So the correct option is about punishing and rewarding based on societal norms.

Answer:

Recognizing and celebrating cultural diversity
