Answer 1

(a)  What is the difference between culture, race, and ethnicity? Write 3-5 sentences about the difference.

Answer- Culture is an idea or beliefs that persists in a particular group or society.

Race can be described as a person's physical trait like his hair color, skin color or eye color. And discriminating anybody on this basis is called discrimination.

Ethnicity is somehow related to culture only and it includes a person's nationality, ancestry, language and religion.

Now lets come to the question how they differ from each other.

Most of us often think that race, culture and ethnicity are the same,but in reality they are different. Race is different from remaining both because it follows biological criteria and is based on the person's biological traits like skin color, eye color, and even bone structure. Culture differs from the other two because it is something that is taught to us by the people around us and we are told to follow it or learn it to be happy in a society as culture is something that is based on society's idea or beliefs . And lastly Ethnicity plays a very vital role in an individual's life as it is the nationality of the the individual along with that it also includes religion, ancestry and language, all these things might affect the individual if he suffers from any discrimination based on nationality, religion or language.
