Explanation:

• Question 14: Cultural beliefs (like gender - role stereotypes) and societal structures (e.g., class - based educational systems) can create and maintain social inequalities. For example, if a culture believes women are less capable of leadership, and the corporate structure has few women in leadership positions, this reinforces the inequality.
• Question 15: Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own ethnic group is superior. While it often leads to negative outcomes like discrimination and conflict (e.g., colonialism), in some cases, it can also provide a sense of identity and community cohesion within a group (though this is a more limited and context - specific positive). So, it doesn't always lead to negative outcomes.
• Question 16: When leaders face opposition, one of the major challenges is addressing resistance from institutions (e.g., a government opposing a social movement) or counter - movements (e.g., a pro - development group opposing an environmental movement). Sustaining morale, fostering emotional connections, and managing internal disagreements are also important but are more about internal group management rather than the main challenge of external opposition.
• Question 17: Ethnocentrism is the opposite of adapting to local customs. Ethnocentrism would be a company imposing its home - country culture on an international market. Adapting to local customs is more in line with cultural relativism or a global - local adaptation strategy.
