Which of the following is not an example of enculturation? a. a baby is baptized in a catholic church. b. julie learned how to cook adobo through her family’s recipe book. c. a japanese boy bows respectfully to his uncle. d. erin tries sushi in a japanese restaurant

I believe the best option is letter D. Erin tries sushi in a Japanese restaurant.

Explanation:

Enculturation is the process in which a person acquires the values, the norms of a culture, having them become a part of their lives, behaviors, and way of thinking. Successful enculturation leads to the individual knowing the rituals, language, and values of that culture. The influence for enculturation to take place comes mostly from parents and other adults, as well as peers. After the assimilation has happened, the individual is accepted as a member of that cultural community.

With that information in mind, we can see that letters A through C represent valuable steps in enculturation. They all involve rituals and values that come from tradition, the people being involved by that culture in crucial areas of their lives, especially their families. However, in letter D, we have a girl who does not belong to the Japanese culture trying Japanese food. Eating such food does not make her Japanese. It does not change her cultural background, her habits and values. Trying another culture's food does not change people's original one. Thus, letter D is not an example of enculturation.

the most ethic and honorable thing for the newspaper to do are:

be completely transparent in reporting about the company’s attempt to trade favors.

contact other construction companies to tell them about the situation.

these two options are the most ethic because both promote the market fair course, by telling the other competitors about the company attempt to get ahead in the market by trading favors, the market is guaranteed equality and justice in the trading of goods and services.
