• states• people• countries

Ethnocentrism Vs Racism
• Difference between ethnocentrism and racism:
* racism is more of a conscious process* ethnocentrism is wholly unconscious
“Nothing moves us to act more strongly than those processes within us that are unconscious.”
-Colin J. Irwin-

Ethnocentrism
It is a continuum--
1. pride in one’s country;
2. tears at hearing our national anthem;
3. willingness to go to war for our country;
4. our way is the best or only way;
5. strangers should go home;
6. immigrants are taking our jobs . . .

Stereotypes
• a commonly held, often negative, assumption about a person based upon perceptions of the group to which that person belongs.

What is the problem?
• In fact, stereotyping often prevents us from obtaining information about who this person really is--his/her feelings, skills, experience and capabilities.
• Stereotypes limit how we think about others.

What is the problem?
• Many stereotypes suggest that some groups “don’t have what it takes” to contribute to the organization and do not have the capacity to learn and develop.

What is the problem?
• Managers may feel absolved of any responsibility to get them into the learning loop.
• This is how people who have been stereotyped are often excluded from the meaningful work of the company.

What is the problem?
• Negative stereotypes, whether conscious or not, generate negative emotional reactions and negative treatment toward people who are different in some culturally significant way.

What is the problem?
• “Filters” screen out suggestions, interests
• Can be bypassed and create less psychological resistance
• Holding attention, focusing, and providing lasting suggestions
• Increased trust

Negative Treatment
• This is especially true if the judgment is about something we view as fixed and unchangeable, such as intelligence.
