Ethnocentrism is a term used in anthropology, social science, and colloquial English, to describe the assessment of foreign cultures based on notions, ideology or preconceptions that are founded or customary to the culture of the assessor. In ethnocentrism, the assessor uses his culture as the standard or reference frame when judging the customs, beliefs or people from other regions, rather than making use of the standard of the people practicing the particular tradition.
