Question

At the World Cup match, Renaldo cheers that Brazil's success is yet another example of Brazilian superiority. He believes that Brazilians are better at many things, smarter, and more attractive than other groups. This is an example of _____

Answer 1

Answer: This is an example of ETHNOCENTRISM.

Explanation: Ethnocentrism can be defined as the tendency to view or evaluate the world/cultures of others based on the standards and customs of one's own adoptive culture.

Ethnocentric individuals believe they are better than others based on their cultural heritage. An example can be seen in Asian cultures whereby people generally eat with chopsticks.

As can be seen from the question, it is common knowledge that Brazilians are generally good at playing soccer and Renaldo is judging the world based on that.
