...better than others? I have heard the term in my race and ethnic relations class, as well as my cultural anthropology class, and for the life of me I cannot think of it. The concept states something to the effect that when examining other people and/or cultures, we compare them to ourselves, and view ourselves as being right or superior?
And i think it was more along the lines of comparing others to ourselves, not quite sure if superiority played into the concept but I think it may have...
I see how supremacy might work, but that isnt the specific word I was looking for...
Okay, figured it out...ethnocentric was the word I was looking for!
