Ans: C
Feedback:
Cultural relativity refers to the concept that cultures relate differently to the same situations, such as the meaning of eye contact. Americans view eye contact as demonstrating engagement in a conversation, whereas elderly Japanese view avoidance of eye contact with a superior (the nurse in this scenario) as a sign of respect.
