		ethnocentricism Sometimes described as the cardinal sin of the comparative method, this is the practice of studying and making judgements about other societies in terms of one's own cultural assumptions or bias.
		Ethnocentricism often suggests that the way something is done in other societies is inferior to the way it is done in one's own society.
		Avoidance of ethnocentricism quickly became one of the main tenets of social anthropology and comparative sociology after the turn of the century.

	The Statesman : Comment : Ethnocentricism and intolerance in Ghana: A need for a comprehensive national response
		It is generally agreed or taken for granted that even though Ghana is composed of heterogeneous groups of people, there is one common ‘destiny’ or ‘aspiration’ that unites the nation.
		In the process we have de-emphasized the fact that each of the ethnic groups that constitute the entity called Ghana, has some distinctive and paramount interest(s) that must be recognized and protected, and thus pre-empt the festering of ethnocentricism and its consequential outgrowth of prejudices and intolerance.
		Africa is replete with experiences where fanaticism and intolerance did not only reach ‘intense levels’ but actually caused serious and irreversible destruction to life and property before some semblance of peace was brokered.

	Cultural Diversity in Higher Education
		Ethnocentricism is when people of a given culture view their particular culture as being better, or even the only one truly worthy of existence.
		The connection is that ethnocentricism rears its ugly head and somehow always "justifies" acts that are terrible hate crimes in disguise.
		Thus, ethnocentricism must go and fuller understanding of the cultures one is to live with should be the proper humanitarian goals taught by (and acted on by) educators.

		However, while the essay is strikingly informative from an intercultural perspective, it demonstrates aspects of rhetorical ethnocentricism.

	GT: The Evolutionary Role of Ethnocentricism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Ethnocentricism is a state of consciousness that lies at the beginning of a human's evolution.
		However, while much of the world's population still depends upon ethnocentricism for survival, especially in developing countries and first-world ghettos, the developed world is not bound to such ethnocentricism for survival, and the nepotism, corruption and war that result from it.
		Ethnocentricism was an evolutionary boon to humanity, however now it is clear that it no longer lies on the bleeding edge of civilization's progress.

	neomarxisme: December 2004 Archives
		Scholarship continously aims to uncover and explain reality, and therefore, much academic work in the field of Japanese Studies has been focused on repudiating the more mythic parts of Japanese cultural beliefs.
		Many Western scholars see Nihonjinron's implications of Japanese superiority as a new form of ethnocentricism - a natural critical position of anyone foreign who has no structural need for those particular myths themself.
		I find it odd that Momus has essentially taken on Nihonjinron as his own civil religious belief, but this would at least explain why we have reached such an impasse in arguing.

	Structural violence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Structural violence, a term which was first used in the 1970s and which has commonly been ascribed to Johan Galtung, denotes a form of violence which corresponds with the systematic ways in which a given social structure or social institution kills people slowly by preventing them from meeting their basic needs.
		Institutionalized elitism, ethnocentricism, classism, racism, sexism, adultism, nationalism, heterosexism and ageism are just some examples of this.

		The man has babbled about the Greeks destroying Egyptian culture by speaking a non-Egyptian language which, even by Victorian standards, would have to be considered an extreme point of view.
		The fact that his ethnocentricism is based in a culture in which he has no roots may add a humorous edge to his ethnocentricism, but it does not transmute that ethnocentricism into a more enlightened viewpoint.
		Even this, he does in a flawed manner, however - the attitude that loanwords are to be pronounced in the manner they would be in their 'original' (read : immediately previous) languages, is a late 20th century AD attitude, with so little tradition behind it, that it raises eyebrows even among our parent's generation.

		Cryptically delivered lyrics may serve to help out the band, as when it’s clear what it sings about, it’s hard not to be overcome with derision.
		Whether it indulges in enough ethnocentricism to make a redneck proud in "Hip Hop Kids" or chronicles the always-interesting tale of a V.D.-stricken whore in "Damaged Goods" the band sounds more like a gang of 13-year-old sissies than a bunch of angry punks.
		It’s not surprising that a band this inept could come together—crappy high school garage bands are common in every scene—but the fact that such a horribly sub-par album would even be considered for national issue isn’t only surprising, it’s insulting to the punk community.
