Ethnocentrism

/ˌɛθnoʊˈsɛntrɪzəm/noun
ELI5 Mode🧒

Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own culture, ethnic group, or society is superior to others, often leading to the evaluation of different cultures through a biased lens. This perspective can subtly influence everyday interactions or escalate into broader social issues like discrimination and conflict, especially in our interconnected global world where cross-cultural awareness is increasingly vital.
