Ethnocentrism is one form of what communication?

a. problem oriented


b. neutral


c. certainty


d. effective

Ethnocentrism is one form of what communication?
Ethnocentrism is the tendency to look at the world primarily from the perspective of ones own culture.





I would go with C. Certainty





Why? because,The ethnocentric person will see those cultures other than their birth culture as being not only different but also wrong to a degree.


The ethnocentric person will resist or refuse the new meanings and new thought patterns since they are seen as being less desirable than those of the birth culture.


However even if they addopt the new culture and drop the birth culture are they then not say saying the addopted culture is superior to the birth culture? therefore taking a ethnocentric stand again with the new culture??





Will we not always feel that which we are or chose to follow is superior, better,right?





I would personally say it is a certainty.
