(8 pts) [Obj #1: Worldviews] IF YOU CHOOSE THIS QUESTION, LEAVE NUMBER 2 BELOW BLANK: Ho (1987) compared racial/ethnic groups on key Value Orientations (Kluckhohn & Strodtbeck, 1961) and found more similarity among people of color than middle class white people. For example, at the time of this research, white Americans expressed a future orientation whereas Asian Americans and Hispanic Americans showed a blended past-present focus. First, explain the difference between these two value orientations. Second, select one (group’s) orientation and hypothesize HOW a person might develop this; that is, describe how this aspect of worldview might have been enculturated in daily interactions and by broader narratives surrounding a person (e.g., how does one acquire a specific time orientation).   [HINT: This isn’t asking you to have a definitive understanding of any of these cultural groups’ histories or lived experiences. You are simply hypothesizing how social factors could shape the worldview noted in Ho’s research.]
