1. What is the difference between race and ethnicity?
Ethnicity is related to culture; race is related to biological ancestry.
Ethnicity is determined scientifically; race is not.
People of the same ethnicity always share the same religion; people of the same race do not.
Ethnicity is determined by the color of your eyes; race is determined by the color of your skin.
2. Which of the following is not an example of an element of culture?
reading the Bible
speaking Spanish
having blonde hair and blue eyes
eating Italian food, such as spaghetti

Respuesta :

The correct answer for number 1 is the A. Ethnicity is related to culture; race is related to biological ancestry. Now for the 2nd question we need to have in mind that, reading the bible in some places is cultural, speaking spanish is also related to a culture and eating italian food is also a cultural thing. The one that is not an example is have blond hair and blue eyes. That is a characteristic that is genetic, not cultural

Question 1

The correct answer is: "Ethnicity is related to culture; race is related to biological ancestry".

Race is determined by physical features which are inherited by newborns from its biological ancestors (for example, black skin or white skin).

On the other hand, an ethnicity comprises a group of people that share common characteristics such as common language, history, culture, society or national feelings.

Question 2

The correct answer is: "having blonde hair and blue eyes "

It is a feature related to a certain race, and it does not necessarily evidence a cultural distinction too. Two people from different races can share the same cultural background.
