Which statement reflects cultural humility?

• A. I know all about this culture
• B. I do not know everything about someone else's culture, so I should listen and learn
• C. Culture is not relevant
• D. We must enforce our own norms

Answer: (B)

Cultural humility means approaching interactions with the understanding that your own cultural perspective is just one of many, and that you don’t know everything about another person’s culture. It involves ongoing self-reflection, a genuine willingness to listen, and a readiness to learn from others, especially about their values, beliefs, and experiences. This attitude helps build trust, reduces bias, and respects the other person by valuing their voice over assumptions.

The statement that reflects this reads: I do not know everything about someone else's culture, so I should listen and learn. It shows recognizing limits in your knowledge and prioritizing learning from the other person, which is the essence of cultural humility.

Why the others don’t fit: claiming you know all about a culture shows overconfidence and closed-mindedness; saying culture isn’t relevant dismisses important context; and enforcing your own norms disregards the other person’s background and values, both of which contrast with the humble, learning-centered stance.
