Ethnocentrism task

1. On the lines below, write a definition of Ethnocentrism. Find one on the web.

Ethnocentrism is when individuals believe that they are better than others for different reasons based on their heritage. Those are related to problems of both racism and prejudice.

2. Read the cartoon. How is Ethnocentrism reflected in the conversation below?

 Some people think that everyone has the same culture as they do, and that when people has different culture they sure will be freaks and crazy.

 That type of people are representing the meaning of Ethnocentrism.

3. Looking at the cartoon characters.

Imagine them in social situations. What kind of people would (would n’t) they associate with? What kind of events (movies, shows) would (would n’t) they prefer to go? Think of other situations.

* Describe Bucky :

 Bucky is Ethnocentric person that doesn’t like to know about other culture’s and wouldn’t want to communicate with them.

They would like to stick with people from their same heritage and culture.

He thinks that other people with different culture and not the same as him are freaks.  

* Describe the man talking with Bucky. Let’s call him Tom :

Tom is a boy full of knowledge. He knows that there are different cultures, and people should respect that by not being racism and prejudice.

4. Drawing Ethnocentrism.

On a separate sheet of paper, make a drawing of Ethnocentrism. You don’t have to draw well.

Drawing of ethnocentric situation

Are Emiratis Ethnocentric?

These are the ways we view the world according to Emirates.

1-Indians are the workers that build and clean our nation.

2-America teaches us the basic fundamentals of our knowledge nowadays because everything we are 

taught today is most likely to be measured to an American standard.

3-Europe is the other half of our knowledge that is taught to us from few schools or universities.

4-Japanese are the most manufactures in our life from our cars to our house accessories.

5-China is where we get all the cheap goods from cloths, toys and home accessories.

Cultural Views

 

Speaker	Quote	Meaning
Dwight D. Eisenhower	A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.	It means that if society feels that they are entitled to things instead of working for them that they will lose sight that they need to work to support the system that provides them with these privileges
Martin Luther King Jr.	All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.	I think he means that our lives are unavoidably connected with each other -- like a network of threads that can't really be untied/unknotted, and that we share a common destiny, whatever it may be
Sheik Zayed	WHO EVER HAS NO PAST HAS NEITHER PRESENT NOR FUTURE	Any country that doesn’t value its past, can’t appreciate its present or future. This country, thanks to God, has a rich past, does well for now and its expected future.
Amin Maalouf	Every individual is a meeting ground for many different allegiances, and sometimes these loyalties conflict with one another and confront the person who harbors them with difficult choices.	Every person is unique and must accept that they are others who don’t share the same backgrounds.
Mohandas Gandhi	A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and souls of its people.	The cultures isn’t dependent on a nation but its people.
Amin Maalouf	Traditions deserve to be respected only insofar as they are respectable – that is, exactly insofar as they themselves respect the fundamental rights of men and women.	Respect traditions only if they are good for humans.
ML King Jr.	I have a dream that four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.	God doesn’t care about skin color. God cares about freedom for everyone.
Desmond Tutu	My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.	You can only expect be respected if you respect others
Frank Borman	When you're finally up on the moon, looking back at the earth, all these differences and nationalistic traits are pretty well going to blend and you're going to get a concept that maybe this is really one world and why the hell can't we learn to live together like decent people?	Looking at the earth from space, one wonders why we can’t get along decently.
Pablo Casals	The love of one’s country is a splendid thing, but why should it stop at the border?	Loving your country is good but why not the entire world

Sheik Zayed	Many countries go to war and then towards reconciliation. The history of mankind is full of stories of wars between people and states that have come together after fighting for long. Why can't Arabs be like them?	Why can’t people learn from their mistakes and learn to cooperate
ML King Jr.	I have a dream, that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.	People should not be discriminated against but judged by his character
Amin Maalouf	For it is often the way we look at other people that imprisons them within their own narrowest allegiances. And it is also the way we look at them that may set them free.	We need to treat people with respect to give them a chance to grow.
