Compared with many Asian and African parents,today's Westernized parents are more likely to teach their children to value

A) civil obedience.
B) emotional closeness.
C) personal independence.
D) family traditions.

Westernized parents tend to value personal independence and encourage their children to think for themselves and make their own decisions. This is in contrast to many Asian and African cultures where there is a greater emphasis on obedience to authority and adherence to traditions. Emotional closeness and family traditions may also be valued by Westernized parents, but not to the same extent as personal independence.
