P. While the negatives can be causing boundaries, conflicts and tensions.

Q. This is an important sociological term coined by William G Summer.

4. Another reason could be the present resources being scarce and so conflicts arise among groups to fight for it.

R. It is a phenomenon more frequently seen coming about in recent years and the urgent need to address it.

Reading the given sentences, we know the topic here- that is, ethnocentrism. Sentence 1 is given to us and from it we know the 2nd$ sentence is Sentence Q because it tells about the person who gave the term. Then, Sentence T is the 3rd$ sentence because it further explains the reasons for the occurrence of the topic. We have sentence 4 already given to us and looking at it, we realize that Sentences S and Sentence P are the 5th$ and 6th$ sentences respectively. This is because we see, the reasons end with 4th$ sentences so the next explanation is about its pros and cons. And, we realize the order because of the word ‘while’ being used which makes it evident that it will come later. Finally, Sentence R is the last 7th$ sentence.  

So, the correct order of sentences is 1QT4SPR$.

Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.
