Ethnocentrism is the belief that one’s own culture is superior to all others. It is a common human tendency to view the world through the lens of our own culture, and to judge other cultures based on our own values and beliefs. This can lead to ethnocentric people viewing other cultures as abnormal, strange, or even inferior.
There are many reasons why ethnocentric people tend to view other cultures as abnormal. One reason is that they may be unaware of the different cultural norms and values that exist around the world. They may not realize that what is considered normal in one culture may be considered abnormal in another. For example, in some cultures it is considered polite to eat with your hands, while in other cultures it is considered rude. An ethnocentric person may not be aware of this difference, and may therefore view someone who eats with their hands as being abnormal.
