Ethnocentrism
Ethnocentrism- the belief that your culture/ beliefs are better than someone else’s.It is important not to judge other cultures by our standards.Just because another culture eats something that we would not or listens to music that we don’t does not make them any more or less civilized.Try to find similarities between cultures and learn to appreciate the differences.
