Ethnocentrism is being focussed on one's own culture to the extent that one is unaware of or contemptuous of other cultures. For example, Europeans in the nineteenth century were appalled by the mode of dress of Africans because it was different from that of Europeans, although well-adapted to the African climate. Americans are often ethnocentric because American media rarely portrays any other culture, and when it does, it is assumed to be the same as American culture.
