Summary

Although it may not appear in psychology courses as frequently as it could, the concept of ethnocentrism is an important, if often unrecognized, aspect of human behavior. Ethnocentrism is likely universal, existing, as numerous writers have observed, like the water surrounding a fish; the fish does not realize it is viewing the world through water, because it has never seen the world any other way. As teachers, a part of our role is to expand our students’ horizons, to provide new experiences, and to offer new perspectives. If some of those experiences can open new cultural vistas, they have potential to change lives.
