Understanding cultural differences is probably one of the most important things that as human we need to do, and haven’t done yet. Many of us are stuck in this ethnocentric state of judging cultures that are different from our own, that may not have the same values, the same beliefs. In short, ethnocentrism is judging …without understanding. This inevitably leads to prejudice, or negative ideas, which can then lead to discrimination, negative actions.
