Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is Obliteration

Explanation:

Obliteration means eradication, erasure.

Something that is obliterated means that it is gone.

In sociology, the word obliteration can take many connotations, one of them being cultural obliteration.

Cultural obliteration usually occurs when a person moves to a country that has a cultural context that they are not used to but end up adapting said culture. What happens with their original cultural identity is known as Obliteration. It can also happen when a person adopts their partners' cultural identity while sacrificing their own.

In this particular case, Keiko grew in Japan and Wahid in Egypt.

They got married in the United States and they decided to stay there and "become American" rather than negotiate the differences between their two cultures. This scenario exemplifies obliteration.
