Ethnocentrism is the view that one’s own culture is better than anyone else’s culture. As a practice, it consists of evaluating other cultures from the perspective of one’s own. William Graham Sumner coined the term ethnocentrism in 1906; today many sociologists identify ethnocentrism as a feature of all cultures. Some social scientists argue that ethnocentrism can lead to a biased understanding of other cultures. For example, a researcher whose culture believes that God mandates having large families might regard another culture’s birth control practices as immoral, thereby failing to understand that culture’s reasons for birth control (to conserve limited resources, say). Ethnocentrism has sometimes led to conflict. For example, in the United States government institutions once often suppressed traditional cultural practices of American Indians.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
While I am most definitely still a student, I’ve had a lot of experiences that I’d love to use to help anyone who needs it. In the past, I’ve best helped students with writing, editing, and brainstorming their essays, solving math problems, and studying for their various standardized tests. I’m patient, and eager to help, but I won’t hand you a result :). Rather, I’ll work with you, because I think the process of reaching an answer is super important, and it’ll help you know what to do in the future when the same problem arises.
EXTRACURRICULAR INTERESTS
I’m an enthusiastic creative student, who writes music and poetry as often as inspiration creeps by. I study hard, and recently, the library has become my second home. I’m majoring in Psychology with a minor in Behavioral Neuroscience. I’m about to start working as a laboratory assistant in one of the research labs on campus, finding conclusions to questions my professors choose to ask. I’m so excited to learn more every semester, and truly grasp what it means to have a profession where stranger’s disasters are put in your hands to “fix”. Thanks for stopping by :)- Michelle
