Question

question 6
ravi has had a natural talent for painting since he was a child. as an adult, he wants to go to art school, but he applies to medical school instead because his parents want him to. they believe that being an artist is not a respectable career choice for a person of their social status.
which of these factors motivated ravis decision to apply to medical school?
his parents knowledge of their son
his parents cultural bias
his process of self - reflection
his personal interests and values

Explanation:

• Option "His parents' knowledge of their son" is incorrect because the parents' decision is based on their views about the career's respectability, not their knowledge of Ravi (he has an art talent they are ignoring).
• Option "His parents' cultural bias" is correct. The parents' belief that being an artist is not respectable for their social status reflects a cultural bias (a preference/bias based on cultural norms about career and social status) that influences Ravi's decision.
• Option "His process of self - reflection" is incorrect as Ravi's decision is due to his parents' wishes, not his own self - reflection (he wants to go to art school).
• Option "His personal interests and values" is incorrect because his personal interest is in art, but he is applying to medical school due to his parents, not his own interests/values.

Answer:

B. His parents' cultural bias
