Answer: c. Static-dynamic dialectics.

In intercultural communication, a dialectic is a method that weighs two different and contradictory ideas and tries to reconcile them. There are six main dialectics:

history/past-present/future dialectic the culture-individual dialectic the personal-contextual dialectic the differences-similarities dialectic the static-dynamic dialectic the privilege-disadvantage dialectic

The static-dynamic dialectic recognizes that some elements of a person's character and culture are unchangeable, while other will change as the person grows and acquires more experience.
