D. Causes us to judge others by our own values

Answer 1

Answer:

Ethnocentrism causes us to judge others by our own values.

Explanation:

Ethnocentrism is the location-based assessment of cultures. The own culture, or another predetermined culture, is used to measure other cultures in a socio-cultural sense.

The feeling of belonging and distinguishing oneself from others is important for the development of a positive self-image. This self-image is formed by a social identification and a social counter-identification. In the first, good qualities of the own group are experienced as positive and in the second, negative characteristics of others are emphasized. Primarily, the positive self-image is based on positive prejudices about one's own group and negative prejudices about others. This combination is called ethnocentrism.
