1. Ethnocentric means :-the tendency to look at the world primarily from the perspective of one's own culture.
<br>
<br>If you are 'ethnocentric' you assume that your own culture's way of doing things is 'right' way and all others 'wrong'. Ethnocentrism leads to prejudice and discrimination.
<br>
<br>To overcome this sense of superiority you must love and be kind to everybody, care for the poor, protect the weak, heal the sick, teach and educate the ignorant.
