Detailed explanation-1: -Xenocentrism is the preference for the cultural practices of other cultures and societies, such as how they live and what they eat, rather than of one’s own social way of life. One example is the romanticization of the noble savage in the 18th-century primitivism movement in European art, philosophy and ethnography.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term xenocentrism refers to the desire to engage in the elements of another’s culture rather than one’s own. Styles, ideas and products can all be items of preference by someone with xenocentrist viewpoints.

Detailed explanation-3: -Western ethnocentrism suggests a method for overcoming cultural relativism with the purpose of asserting the superiority and universality of Western civilization: perceiving other cultures as variations of one civilization, namely the Western one.
