Question

Sociologist William Summer made a comment, "One's own group is the center of everything, and all others are scaled and rated with references to it". This statement is most aligned with the concept of _____________.

a) cultural relativism
b) ethnocentrism
c) the relativist fallacy
d) the cultural universal

Answer 1

Answer:

Ethnocentrism

Explanation:

Culture relativism is defined as the idea that a person's belief's and values should be judged according to their own culture. They are not to be judged on the basis of some other culture.

According to the relativist fallacy it is claimed that what is true for one person may not be true for another.

A Cultural universal is something that is observed in all the cultures of the world.

When a person's culture is judged on the basis of the culture of the observer, is an act known as ethnocentrism.
