The phrase 'Beziehung zw den ethnischen gruppen' is best captured by which English term?

• A. Race relations
• B. Intercultural communication
• C. Ethnic dynamics
• D. Social integration

Answer: (A)

This phrase is about how different ethnic groups relate to each other—the patterns of interaction, attitudes, and treatment among racial or ethnic groups in a society. The term race relations is the standard label for this area, capturing the dynamics of cooperation, conflict, discrimination, and policy shaping how groups live together. Intercultural communication focuses on how people from different cultures exchange information, not the broader social relationships between groups. Ethnic dynamics is a related idea but is less commonly used as the established term for these intergroup relations. Social integration describes the process and outcome of groups joining a society, rather than the relationships themselves. So, race relations best fits the phrase.
