Answer to Question #237457 in History for samantha

Question

Provide one (1) example or situation of real-life ethnocentrism/cultural relativism.

Answer 1

Ethnocentrism is a social science where people from particular cultures use their cultures as the basis of judging people from different cultures. A common example of real-life ethnocentrism is in the Japanese and many Asian cultures where people use chopsticks when taking their meals hence they might find it awkward for other people from different cultures who use spoons like in the American culture.
