问题              Trends toward reform highlight the international appeal of decentralization,
       but the realities of educational and social inequity remain the same or worsen
       even when such reforms are put into place, especially in the ways in which
Line    educational quality is being defined. A major question remains: if education
(5)      continues to be ineffective in achieving greater social good, what role has the
        dialectic between global and local to play in the eminent failure of education for
       social transformation? All too often the work of sociologists criticizes the
       hegemony of the globalizing idea and its relationship to local forms of belief and
       practice, while blithely assuming that the indigenous challenge and respond to
(10)     the external meta-narrative but retain a fundamental innocence with respect to
       that narrative. I argue that instead cultures, nations, and societies utilize the
       global theme to further reinforce and create new categories of the exotic and the
       other-even within their own borders-to support internally generated and
       maintained inequities.
According to the passage, which of the following is an assumption that underpins most sociological theories on globalization?

选项 A、Indigenous societies reject the process of globalization and do not perpetuate it on a smaller scale.
B、Existing systems of social transformation are ill-equipped to deal with the effects of globalization.
C、The beliefs and practices of indigenous cultures often involve the category of the other.
D、Globalization is the primary cause of social inequity in indigenous societies.
E、Education in indigenous societies is usually ineffective in achieving greater social good.
