Is ethnocentrism wrong? Just because a culture is different than yours does that mean you should respect those differences as an outsider?
Should what you percieve as flaws in a culture go unattested just because it would not be polite to question them?
I say that’s bullsht. There’s a lot of dumbass sht goin on in Taiwan… let em know about it.
Great, another youn’un chasing windmills

Check out the definition of ethnocentrism. If you are not taking the time to learn why they are doing things the wrong way, maybe, just maybe you are the one thinking you are superior.
Getting upset over Chinese eating dogs and turning around and stuffing your face with bacon - that would be ethnocentric.
Getting upset because kids get beaten by their parents for turning in a less than perfect report card - that’s not ethnocentrism, that’s basic human decency.
Some things are and should be universal. Basic human rights, for instance. Lots of other things aren’t. Learn how to tell the difference.
Double post, with the one below. Sorry.

Well said…
Everyone is going to feel their own culture is better in some ways, but that is less due to ethnocentrism than environment. You were brought up with certain ideas, customs, behaviors, etc… being the norm. Seeing people do something a different way makes you uncomfortable, because their way is unfamiliar. As humans, we tend to like things that are familiar. It is when you take that uncomfortableness (is that a word?) to the extreme (the fear or hatred of something different) that it turns into discrimination and/or ethnocentrism.
But, as mod lang says, you need to figure out how to distinguish between cultural differences (which you should accept and, maybe, even explore the reasons behind) and human rights violations (which you shouldn’t).
Hah.
So… a tendency towards human rights violations or behavior that leads to them can not be part of a peoples culture?
Don’t get all your panties in a bunch… I was just poking a finger back in the eye of all you tight asses who sling the word “ethnocentrism” around at every person who posts their say on what’s goin on here.
