Answer:
Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's culture is superior to all other cultures. Ethnocentrism is a term which is mostly used in social sciences in reference to the act of believing that one's culture is superior to all other cultures. Ethnocentrism is used in social sciences and anthropology to describe the act of judging another culture as inferior and believing that the values and standards of one's own culture are superior to those of all other cultures – especially with regard to language, behavior, customs, and religion.[1] These aspects or categories are distinctions that define each ethnicity's unique cultural identity. This term passed from social sciences to colloquial English discourse during the twentieth century; in its common usage, it means culturally biased judgment.[2] In this way, this term refers to when we apply our own culture as a frame of reference in order to judge others' cultural practices, actions, believes, or persons. This view has some people thinking that their culture is the correct way of life and they see other peoples' way of life strange or incorrect; this clash usually happens between the Global South and the Global North, which is evidenced in the media.
