Question

The text tells us that a few modern societies such as the Amish have successfully forged an egalitarian society. Based on the information in the text, we can attribute this success to what aspect of human interaction?

A) ranking

B) recidivism

C) reciprocity

D) redistribution

Answer 1

Answer:

C) reciprocity

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that this success can be best attributed to the aspect of reciprocity. This term refers to the social norm of responding to an action with another similar action. In the Amish egalitarian society all individuals are born equal and help each other, thus one receives help and is more inclined to offer help back, and so forth.

Answer 2

Answer: C. Reciprocity

Explanation: An ideology or behavior based on the concept of 'give and take', whereby a positive or kind behavior toward one party is replicated by a kind behavior in return by the other party. Conversely, unsavory behavior or actions aimed at a party will also be rewarded with such. The principle of reciprocity is usually dependent on rewarding a certain behavior based on precedence. Forging strong rewarding relationships or otherwise between individuals, groups or organizations may be based on these principle.
