Question 11 • World History CR

What is the best example of cultural diffusion?

Answer
A
The Spanish forced Christianity on the Native Americans when they conquered parts of South America.
B
Sandy explains the Chanukah dreidel game, and then her class plays it.
C
When colonists fought the British during the American Revolution, they also resisted the British culture.
D
Bjorg invites his friend Carlos over for a home-cooked Swedish meal.

Explanation

Cultural diffusion happens when cultural ideas or practices spread from one group to another. Sandy teaches her classmates about the Chanukah dreidel game, and they play it, so a cultural practice is shared and adopted. The other choices describe resistance, a meal shared with a friend, or forced cultural change rather than this clear example of diffusion.
