Answer to Question 1

Answer: Ethnocentrism is the tendency to judge all other groups according to one's own group's standards, behaviors, and customs and to see all other groups as inferior by comparison. You can overcome ethnocentrism by acknowledging distinctions, avoiding assumptions and avoiding judgments.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: When viewed from within a culture, foreign cultures often seem strange, illogical, and even foolish, causing people to see them as inferior and to have little or no incentive to learn more about them.
