Explanation
Answer: B - In Lucinda’s culture, group cohesion and interests take precedence over individual wants. Lucinda most likely describes her ‘self’ in terms of her relationships with others.
Key Takeaway: In collectivist cultures, group cohesion and ultimate interests are given a much higher priority than individual wants and needs. For example, a person who has aspirations to study Arts in college will opt to stay and work in the family farm if the need comes up. In this type of culture, a person’s conception of the ‘self’ is defined in terms of their relationship with others.
