Answer:

Ethnocentrism is the term anthropologists use to describe the opinion that one's own way of life is natural or correct. ... An example of ethnocentrism in culture is the Asian cultures across all the countries of Asia. Throughout Asia, the way of eating is to use chopsticks with every meal.
