Answer: Ethnocentrism is the right answer.

Explanation: Ethnocentrism is a concept given by sociologists and anthropologists. It states that ethnocentrism is basically an individual's belief that he or his group members are better than other individuals from any other group based on their heritage. Ethnocentrism plays a major role in division among member of different ethnicities. to make it clear I will use an example that suppose a person belongs from a religious group called protestants. He believes that the religious belief held by all the Protestants are superior than those of Catholics. This will create a division between Catholics and Protestants.
