Anthropology 2

For this assignment, please POST:

1) Reflections/comments on two ideas, claims, concepts, or points from the “Ethnocentrism, Cultural Relativism, and Moral/Ethical Questions” video lecture (20 points)

2) Now that we have examined what defines U.S. American culture, you also need to find one example of U.S. American ethnocentrism. You can use any media you want that captures ethnocentrism–a photo, an article (news, magazines, etc.), a video, or a written story/example.

Remember that ethnocentrism is framing/presenting/showing U.S. American values, norms, beliefs, practices, material culture, or U.S. American people as “normal,” “natural,” “better,” “more advanced,” “smarter/stronger,” “more important,” etc. IN RELATION to any other culture or people.

You need to attach the example as an image, link or document and you need to highlight the ethnocentrism in the piece.

Make sure you identify the SPECIFIC U.S. American cultural values, practices, norms, at play.  (5 points)

Explain where you see ethnocentrism in the example. What is being valued? (Over what?) What is being privileged? (Over what?) What is being normalized? What is being idealized?  (10 points)
