- Ethnocentrism refers to judging other people from within one’s own cultural
perspective
- A problem arises when one views one’s own culture as superior to other cultures
- Typically ethnocentric individuals will judge other people relative to their own
particular ethnic group or culture, basing this on language, behaviour, customs and
religion. (i.e. – understanding these is challenging)
- An example of ethnocentrism is the tendency in Western medicine to discredit the
methods of the traditional African healer.
