Question

The process by which cultural elements are borrowed from another society and incorporated into the culture of the recipient group is called:

• A. Emigration
• B. Diffusion
• C. Degeneration
• D. Innovation

Hint:

Cultural diffusion is the process through which a culture borrows elements from another culture, often leading to cultural enrichment and change.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Emigration refers to the act of leaving one's own country to settle permanently in another. It does not refer to cultural borrowing.
- Diffusion is the correct term and refers to the spread of cultural elements (ideas, practices, technologies) from one society to another.
- Degeneration refers to the decline or deterioration of something, often used in the context of health or societal decline, not cultural borrowing.
- Innovation refers to the creation of new ideas, practices, or objects, not the borrowing of cultural elements.
Step 1: Understanding Diffusion.
Cultural diffusion occurs when elements of culture (such as food, religion, or technology) are shared between different societies through trade, migration, or communication.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{The correct answer is (2) Diffusion.}} \]
