Ethnocentism

Ethnocentism How do you learn about another culture without passing negative judgments on areas that are different' This is the main question for me regarding ethnocentrism. I grew up in three different countries within three different cultures and I luckily learned how to suspend judgments in other people’s practices in order to understand their own culture. As a war refuge, I’ve experienced many horrible things and unjustified judgments about my own culture. I don’t want to go in details about it, but I also don’t want anybody to experience what I did. Based on everything I went through, as an adult, I am doing my best to respect every culture and their practices even if they differ from my own culture’s point of view. Let me explain a recent magazine article written by Serbian journalist. The conflict between three nations in Bosnia (Serbs, Croats and Muslims) led to a war that took countless number of lives. Everything that happened in those five years of war was caused by ethnocentrism and hate. People just didn’t want to accept each other the way they are.
