Educational Psychology
Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own culture or ethnic group is superior to others and the tendency to evaluate other cultures based on the standards of one's own. This viewpoint can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts, as it creates a barrier to appreciating the diversity of cultural practices and values. By promoting a narrow perspective, ethnocentrism undermines efforts toward inclusivity and multicultural understanding.
