Some Cultures Encourage a Variety of Social Interaction and Experiences

Multiple Choice

Some cultures encourage a variety of social interaction and experiences, while other cultures honour the bonds of family and tradition and believe that socialization outside of the home can be a distraction or detrimental to a child's proper language development. Does one of these approaches have an advantage over the other in terms of language acquisition and development?

A) As long as the child is regularly exposed to language and encouraged to interact verbally, the level of socialization outside the home should not be an issue.
B) Genetics have the greatest influence in regard to overall language acquisition. Therefore, a child's environment plays only a minimal role in language development.
C) Different aspects of language acquisition are influenced from a variety of sources. The complex nature of language development prevents one from determining the approach with the greatest advantage.
D) Limiting a child's exposure to different social influences and expressions may prove to be a disadvantage later in life when they are introduced to unfamiliar language expression.
