Question

you hear a story about an employee who has left work to settle a family matter. this is surprising until you realize this worker is from a culture that operates from which mode?

a. individualism
b. religious
c. determinism
d. collectivism

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a (individualism): Emphasizes personal goals over group/family. So leaving work for family would be less typical here.
• Option b (religious): The scenario focuses on family vs. work, not religious norms directly.
• Option c (determinism): Relates to fate/causality, not cultural work - family priorities.
• Option d (collectivism): Cultures with collectivism prioritize group (like family) over individual (work) goals. So leaving work for family aligns with collectivist values.

Answer:

d. collectivism
