<u>What is ethnocentrism and why were the Chinese ethnocentric? </u>

<u> Ethnocentrism</u> refers to the belief of a particular society's culture and traditions as being the correct ones. This belief tends to fall into preconceptions about other cultures, which are often considered inferior.

During the Qing Dynasty's reign, China was composed of other people groups. These groups had different beliefs and societal structures, which sometimes differed from the ones of the ruling Dynasty's. The Han Chinese believed that their skin was a superior one, along with their culture and traditions. They segregated others who didn't share their features, and also sought to maintain their own culture alive due to all the kingdoms that had tried to settle and establish their own cultures. This increased the Han Chinese's ethnocentric belief. They continued to protect their idiosyncrasies until the 19th century.

What were the causes and effects of the scopes trial and racial tension
insens350 [35]

The cause of the Scopes Trial was disagreement about evolution. One side thought that evolution should be taught in schools, while another side said that it shouldn’t. It was also said that teaching of evolution was in violation of Tennessee’s Butler Act which stated that it was unlawful to teach evolution in any state-funded school.

 

It was purposely meant to also bring publicity, but in the end, John Scopes was fined $100 dollars which is equivalent to over $1000 dollars today. Many of the people and reporters went to the “big-shot” lawyers involved in the case so, the lawyers to morph the truth into anything they wished and the public hung on to their words. One thing it teaches is that we need to look at both sides because one side could be changed to what someone wants.
