Definition
Believing that your own culture, ethnicity, or group is superior to all others and judging other cultures by your own standards.
Etymology
From ethno- (people/culture) and centric (centered on). The term was developed by sociologists in the early 1900s to describe the bias of viewing the world through one's own cultural lens.
Kelly Says
Ethnocentrism is like wearing colored glasses that tint everything—it made European colonizers think their ways were 'civilized' while dismissing other cultures as 'primitive,' which was completely unfair.
