Racial and ethnic discrimination and conflict call for us to use __________ skills to empathize compassionately with people who are different from us in pursuit of justice and equality.

A) acculturation
B) enculturation
C) ethnocentric
D) other-oriented

Other-oriented skills involve actively listening to and trying to understand the perspectives and experiences of others, especially those who are different from us. This can help to foster empathy and compassion, which are necessary for promoting justice and equality in the face of discrimination and conflict. Acculturation and enculturation refer to the processes by which individuals learn and adopt cultural norms and values, and ethnocentrism involves viewing one's own culture as superior to others. While these concepts may be relevant to understanding discrimination and conflict, they do not necessarily involve the interpersonal skills needed for promoting empathy and compassion.
