Edythe, a white american, is interpreting information in the media differently than is her sister-in-law, who is asian american. what most likely accounts for these differences? a. their backgrounds shape the meaning that they give to symbols, actions, and words. b. they are using face-to-face media instead of media that is widely circulated. c. they are not friendly toward one another. d. their backgrounds have been exploited by people who want to emphasize differences instead of similarities between people.

Americans often speak of their country as one of several large regions.  these regions are cultural units rather than governmental units --  formed by history and geography and shaped by the economics, literature and folkways that all the parts of a region share. what makes one region different from another? a region's multicultural heritage as well as distinct demographic characteristics like age and occupation make regions different and special. within several regions, language is used differently and there are strong dialects. there are also differences in outlook and attitude based on geography.
