Ethnocentrism, the universal tendency of human beings to
think that their ways of thinking, acting, and believing are
the only right, proper, and natural ways, can be a major
barrier to providing culturally conscious care. Ethnocentrism
perpetuates an attitude that beliefs that differ greatly from
one''s own are strange, bizarre, or unenlightened, and
therefore wrong. Ethnocentrism refers to the unconscious
tendency to look at others through the lens of one''s own
cultural norms and customs and to take for granted that
one''s own values are the only objective reality. At a more
complex level, the ethnocentrist regards others as inferior or
immoral and believes his or her own ideas are intrinsically
good, right, necessary, and desirable, while remaining
unaware of his or her own value judgments.
