Ethnocentricity

Ethnocentricity refers to a belief that your culture or ethnic group is superior to another's. Ethnocentric individuals are biased in that they draw conclusions about other cultural groups based on their own cultural values, norms, and traditions.

Pick a map, look up info, look at images but remember people, in their natural surroundings, are considered the norm; until you come to the USA, then you're picked apart & judged usually by White measuring sticks:

1. Skin color

2. Predisposed opinion in place

3. Language spoken

4. Attire

5. Choice of religion

6. Sexual preference

7. Diet & food preparation

8. Music

Etc, etc
