Avoiding ethnocentrism is not an easy task, we must have an open mind, and as proud as we might be of our culture, we must always remember that we are all pieces of the puzzle, we are all, in some way or the other, parts of the bigger piece.thnocentrism causes us to judge others by our own values. We expect others to act as we would, and the expect us to behave as they would. This does not always work out so well and can usually result in misunderstandings.
