Question

Janet concludes that a particular tribe is bizarre because the men adorn themselves by piercing their genitalia and wearing little wire rings. She overlooks the fact that in her own culture, people pierce their ears, tongues, eyebrows, and other body parts. This is an example of:__________
a. continuum fallacy.
b. phallocentrism.
c. ethnocentrism.
d. egocentric fallacy.

Answer 1

Answer:

c. ethnocentrism.

Explanation:

Ethnocentrism is a term used in anthropology and it is the belief that one's own culture is superior to another, especially based on religion, language, customs, traditions, etc. It is a major factor in dividing people along the lines of ethnicity, races, and religious groups and therefore results in racism and prejudice.
