Food for thought:
Ethnocentrism- Making false assumptions about others' ways based on our own limited experience. The key word is assumptions, because we are not even aware that we are being ethnocentric....we don't understand that we dont understand.
So here we have a paradox: we falsely assume because we are not even aware we are assuming.
Addressing ethnocentrism is not a matter of trying not to be ethnocentric. This is an impossible task, since we will never experience every life situation of everyone around the world. We will always have our assumptions about life based on our existing limited experience. So a much more productive approach is to catch ourselves when we are being ethnocentric and to control for this bias as we seek to develop better understandings.
"Relativism " usually means not judging others' ways and accepting them as equal to our own. .......it is often unrealistic since we cannot avoid ethnocentrism. We do not necessarily have to agree with others' ways, and we have the right to our own ways, since they provide important meanings and adaptive functions for us.

haish.
how disappointing.
hm. not that it makes much of a difference though.
thought you had better sense though
