We discussed ethnocentrism briefly earlier in the quarter. Given what you’ve learned over the last five weeks, we’ll now write more broadly about this important topic. What is ethnocentrism? How can it be both positive and negative? Please share a story from your life in which you’ve either experienced or witnessed ethnocentrism.

This assignment will give you the opportunity to show your ability to think like a sociologist, using sociological theory to give validity to the content of your answer.
