A social division based on national origin, religion, language, and often race is called?

• A. Ethnicity
• B. Race
• C. Gender
• D. Chain of Command

Answer: (A)

Ethnicity is a social group identity based on shared cultural traits such as national origin, language, religion, and customs. People in the same ethnic group feel a sense of belonging to a cultural community, and others recognize that shared heritage in social life. This focus on culture and origin distinguishes it from race, which centers on physical characteristics. Gender concerns biological and social roles related to being male, female, or other, not cultural heritage. A chain of command is an organizational structure describing authority, not a way of dividing people by culture.
