Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Normativism refers to the practice of applying one's home country standards (ethical, legal, or social norms) in a foreign country, even when those standards are not required by the host country. Choice B describes a situation where a U.S. sweatshop in Thailand is not following U.S. labor laws, which is an example of not applying home country standards abroad, thus it is not an example of normativism. Choices A, C, and D all describe scenarios where home country standards are being applied or considered in a foreign context, which aligns with the concept of normativism.
