Question

Which of the following processes describes how missionary activities change the geographies of universalizing religions outside of their founding hearths?
answer choices
Assimilation

Expansion diffusion

Hierarchical diffusion

Relocation diffusion

Answer 1

Answer: Expansion diffusion

Explanation: Expansion diffusion is a way culture and beliefs spread from the founding place to other locations. People who come in contact with missionaries and who take a liking to their teachings adopt their religions and this continues between the new converts and other people until the religion is universal.

In contrast Relocation diffusion is a result of immigration or movement of people. Hierarchical diffusion occurs when people in high position have a belief and others adopt it because they aspire to be like them.

Answer 2

Diffusion is the spread of culture, ideas, and people from their original locations to new regions, territories, or continents.

Expansion diffusion is the process through which culture and beliefs travel from their origins to new regions.

People who come into contact with missionaries and enjoy their teachings adopt their religions, and this process continues between new converts and others until the religion becomes ubiquitous. So, Option B is correct.

The other Options are incorrect as:

• Option A is incorrect as Assimilation is defined as a person of minority status completely assimilating into a dominant culture. We can see how assimilation affects migration patterns as geographers.

• Option C is incorrect as When an idea spreads through a hierarchical process, it begins with the most connected individuals and then expands to others. Consider the chain of command in both business and government. In terms of authority, there is a hierarchical structure.

• Option D is incorrect as When a person moves away from their home and shares their culture with a new location, this is known as relocation diffusion. When a cultural trend spreads from one part of society to another in a pattern, such as hip hop spreading from cities to less populous areas, this is known as hierarchical diffusion.
