<h3>What is Ethnocentrism?</h3>
In social science and anthropology, as well as in everyday English discourse, the term "ethnocentrism" refers to the practice of using one's own culture or ethnicity as a frame of reference to evaluate other cultures, practices, behaviors, beliefs, and individuals rather than the norms of the specific culture in question.
Some people also use the term to refer to the conviction that one's culture is superior to, or more right or normal than, all others—especially when it comes to the distinctions that define each ethnicity's cultural identity, such as language, behavior, customs, and religion. This judgment is frequently negative because it implies that one's culture is superior to, or more correct, or normal than, all others.
It can also be used to refer to any judgment that is biased against a certain culture.
Ethnocentrism, for instance, can be found in popular depictions of the Global South and the Global North.
