Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The existence of only two genders is a cultural norm that is not shared by all societies, and viewing it as a universal aspect of human life would be ethnocentric. Child rearing practices, packaging of foods, and production costs are all aspects of culture that are not necessarily ethnocentric.
