Detailed explanation-1: -Ethnocentrism in social science and anthropology-as well as in colloquial English discourse-means to apply one’s own culture or ethnicity as a frame of reference to judge other cultures, practices, behaviors, beliefs, and people, instead of using the standards of the particular culture involved.
Detailed explanation-2: -"Ethnocentrism” is a commonly used word in circles where ethnicity, inter-ethnic relations, and similar inter-group issues are of concern. The usual definition of the term is “thinking one’s own group’s ways are superior to others” or “judging other groups as inferior to one’s own".
Detailed explanation-3: -Ethnocentrism is the tendency to look at the world primarily from the perspective of one’s own culture. Part of ethnocentrism is the belief that one’s own race, ethnic or cultural group is the most important or that some or all aspects of its culture are superior to those of other groups.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ethnocentrism rests upon the assumption that the worldview of one’s own culture is central to all reality. An ethnocentric person expects everyone to think and behave like him after, of course, you scrape away the superficial differences such as colorful clothing, unusual food, quaint practices, and even skin color.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ethnocentrism compares other cultures by using a group’s specific culture as the basis of that comparison, believing theirs to be superior and the standard to be used in comparison to other cultures. Cultural relativism, on the other hand, believes that culture is understood best through its own people.
