20)Which one of the following is not a healthy social process?
integration is not social process. si i think c

Integration is a positive aspect of society. In sociology, social integration usually goes hand in hand with social solidarity. In reality, social integration - the act of acceptance - and social solidarity - the act of sharing - are spread in time with a delay depending on how depend is the feelings towards the new arrivals. It is just like letting a stranger in your house. Thus integration is a healthy process

In objective 17 they emphasized on the word powerful, thus culture is exercised powerfully in rural societies and not that much in urban societies
