Answer:Joe is illustrating Ethnocentrism

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethnocentrism is defined as how we tend to use our own culture as the base to judge other cultures. Our own culture is used as a measurement gauge to evaluate other cultures in terms of what we consider to be out of the norms. We believe what is normal only falls within the established line in our own culture. This may make us bias and consider what ever different to our own culture to be abnormal .

It can also blindside us from seeing that this is all influenced by culture rather than reality.

This has an impact on how we interact with people of other cultures.

Joe holds an Italian belief and think it's the only way to celebrate Easter because that is how he was raised and his idea is driven by his cultural background.
