Answer 1

Answer:

The correct word for the blank space is: ethnocentrism.

Explanation:

Ethnocentrism is the individuals' belief that their ethnicity is superior to others. However, the term extends to give meaning also to the belief that one ethnicity's values, culture, language, or religion is above others. As these beliefs are merely subjective, ethnocentrism tends to be called cultural ignorance.
