Answer 2

Answer: Ethnocentic

Explanation:

Ethnocentrism is a social science terminology which refers to how we tend to favour a particular culture over the other and then we end up misjudging their values and norms and putting our own culture as more important and better when compared to the other cultures. This occurs in institutions like religion, where one religion consider the other to not have moral values or standards when compared to what they hold valuable.
