The answer is when people think their culture is better then others, the other people who heard it might think that there own culture is bad and start to tell people that there culture is bad.
Ethnocentrism, the belief that one's culture is superior to all others. Not only can ethnocentrism be ignorant and chauvinist, but it leads people to look down upon others of different cultures, ethnicities and races.
There is nothing wrong with being ethnocentric in your personal life, as long as you don't exclude diversity from your social and/or work life.
Ethnocentrism can be both good and bad.
Ethnocentrism a noun.
Cultural ethnocentrism.
Ethnocentrism is the tendency to judge other cultures by the standards of one's own culture. Examples: A Westerner thinking that using chopsticks at every meal to eat is strange, silly, or a "stupid" way to eat An American making jokes about the Korean practice of eating dogs.
Cultural relativism was in part a response to western ethnocentrism
A banana. It has absolutely nothing to do with ethnocentrism and so is a perfect non-example.
The main difference between ethnocentrism and xenocentrism is the preference of culture. Ethnocentrism is a preference to your own culture standards while xenocentrism is a preference to different cultures.
"How strongly do you agree with the statement: 'My culture is superior to others'?"
ethnocentrism
The opposite of ethnocentrism is cultural relativism, which is the belief that all cultures have value and should be understood and judged based on their own standards and beliefs rather than comparing them to one's own culture.
Ethnocentrism is the act of believing your own culture is not only better but more right than others. My guess would be that counter ethnocentrism is counteracting this. Like culture relativism, which is trying to accept other cultures for being just what they are and not judging them.
