Olive Lamb · Answer 1

Answer: C) respecting cultural differences.

Explanation: Respecting cultural differences entails mixing with those whose way of life is different from ours. It means we accept the legitimacy of other cultures which enables us to get a deeper sense of connection with them while learning about them and ourselves. This is especially important because our country, workplaces, people we interact with are from various cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. By learning and associating with them collaboration and cooperation can be facilitated leading to harmony.
