    A) Cultural differences

    Explanation:

    The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits US citizens (including companies) from bribing foreign individuals in order to obtain commercial benefits.

    It might be hard to believe, but this type of law is very uncommon, for example European nations don't have similar laws, I guess South American countries don't have them either. And our western culture basically includes parts of Europe, North and South America, and Australia. So even those who share similar cultural values do not have this law.

    Cultural differences refers to different beliefs, cultural practices, religion, behaviors, etc. As stated above, the US culture is included under the western culture category, since the general cultures and beliefs of these countries are similar (or at least not as different as Asian or African countries).

    I think the answer is All of these choices because all of them. could be influential factors when it comes to an activity such as bribing.

    Bribing is the giving of monetary compensation for someone in order to have that person/institution do something for you, which you would not have been able to do legally if you did not "bribe" that person/institution.

    Mostly, it is influenced by the culture and the ethics. But the economy, educational background and the religion greatly influence such behaviour.
