Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.37 Cultural Diffusion and Change skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A new cryptocurrency became common in online markets. People in different countries used it for trade, and along with it spread new slang and symbols used to show trust in online groups.

Which statement best explains how economic exchange can spread cultural behaviors in digital spaces?

ABorrowed slang and symbols must stay identical in every online group.

BPure assimilation means the original culture disappears instead of borrowing and blending.

COnline trade connected people who exchanged slang and trust symbols, showing diffusion through economic activity.

DDigital spaces prevent cultural exchange because people never interact there.

Solution & Explanation:The cryptocurrency created online trade connections. As people interacted, slang and symbols moved across groups and became part of digital culture.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Two island nations began exchanging teachers. School lessons began including stories from both islands, and students created a combined festival day that neither island had before.

Which statement best explains how organized contact can lead to new cultural traditions over time?

AThis is only environmental adaptation: geography caused the change, not trade, migration, or communication.

BRegular contact carried the cultural practice described in the passage beyond its starting group, and each place reshaped it a little over time.

CThis is independent invention: similar cultural traits can appear in different places without contact.

DCulture changes only when groups stay completely isolated.

Solution & Explanation:The passage shows cultural diffusion: contact among groups allowed an idea or practice to spread. People then adapted it to local needs or traditions, which shows cultural change over time.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A popular comic from one country was translated and printed abroad. Readers adopted character catchphrases, but local translators changed jokes to fit local humor, creating different versions.

Which statement best explains how diffusion can produce different outcomes in different places?

AThis is independent invention: similar cultural traits can appear in different places without contact.

BRegular contact carried catchphrases spreading through translation with adapted humor beyond its starting group, and each place reshaped it a little over time.

CThis is cultural diffusion without local variation: borrowed traits always stay identical everywhere.

DThis is change caused mainly by laws and force, not by repeated contact and sharing among groups.

Solution & Explanation:The passage shows contact among groups through regular contact. That contact lets people share and borrow catchphrases spreading through translation with adapted humor. Over time, borrowed practices can become common and may change as different groups adapt them.
