15、the standards of ones own culture. It is the technical name for the view of things in which ones own group is the center of everything, and all others are scaled and rated with reference to it.It occurs when our nation is seen as the center of the world.In other words, it refers to our tendency to i

16、dentify with our ingroup and to evaluate outgroups and their members according to its standard. 第10頁/共27頁Reading IIIt is not suggested that ethnocentrism is always deliberate. Often the expression of ethnocentrism is a function of how we are socialized. (see examples on p273)Ethnocentrism often is e

17、xpressed in the way people draw their maps. People tend to draw maps of the world with their own country at the center and with other parts of the world depicted as peripheral.Ethnocentrism can all too easily lead to “us” versus “them” thought and language.

(see the poem “We and They” on p280-281) 第11頁/共27頁Reading IIIt seems to be really impossible to eradicate ethnocentrism through education and intercultural exchang

19、e; however, they do help reduce the degree of ethnocentrism, a sort of natural tendency, for people live in the context of their culture so they can hardly get rid of their cultures influences on their thinking, behaving and way of living. What one needs to do is to develop the attitude of ethnorela

20、tivism. What is ethnorelativism?It is just opposite to the attitude of ethnocentrism; it is cultural relativism. It involves the view that all cultures are of equal value and the values and behaviors of a culture can only be judged using that culture as a frame of reference.第12頁/共27頁Discovering Prob

30、 Seeing Good or Bad.第17頁/共27頁Stereotype and Prejudice (p292-295) StereotypeA stereotype is a fixed notion about persons in a certain category, with no distinctions made among individuals. In other words, it is an overgeneralized and oversimplified belief we used to categorize a group of people.Preju

31、diceTrue prejudices are those negative attitudes directed toward groups, especially racial and religious groups, that are formed by highly personal and unreasoned generalizations about all or most members of the group. 第18頁/共27頁Stereotype and Prejudice (p292-295)Direct results of prejudice: the form

32、ation of ingroups and outgroups.Main causes of racial prejudice: ignorance: it leads to indifference and hostility. insecurity: it leads to fear.Classifications of prejudice: Red-neck racism: based on some imagined standard; formal education. Symbolic racism: expressed in terms of threats to peoples

33、 basic values and to the status quo. Tokenism: certain people harbor negative feelings about a given group but do not want to admit this fact to themselves; they engage in unimportant, but positive intergroup behaviors, thus they can effuse to perform more important intergroup behaviors.第19頁/共27頁Ste

34、reotype and Prejudice (p292-295)Classifications of prejudice: Arms-length prejudice: certain people engage in friendly, positive behavior toward outgroup members in certain situations but hold those same outgroup members at an “arms length” in other situations. Real likes and dislikes: members of th

35、e group engaged in behaviors that people dislike; should be given more attention. The familiar and unfamiliar: to experience behaviors or ideas that are unfamiliar and hence feel uncomfortable; a lack of understanding and an insensitivity regarding other cultural groups. 第20頁/共27頁Stereotype and Prej

36、udice (p292-295)Relation among stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination:When cognitions (stereotypes) are assigned values (prejudice), we may enact biased action (eg. discrimination).Prejudice varies principally along the dimension of intensity. Five common forms of prejudice can be identified in t

37、erms of intensity: verbal abuse, physical avoidance, discrimination, physical attack, and massacre.How to overcome stereotypes and prejudice:Empathy is the main communication skill we should learn to solve the problem through the face-to-face interaction. Empathic persons know how to show understand

38、ing by projecting themselves into their partners position. This means that to be empathic in intercultural interactions we need to be open-minded in terms of information sharings, to be imaginative in correctly drawing the picture of others situation, and to show a commitment or strong willingness t

39、o understand our culturally different partners in any kind of situation.第21頁/共27頁Case StudyCase 29 (Page 285) In this case, both the white people (the Virginia Government) and the Indians were ethnocentric. The white people seemed to believe that their learning and sciences were without doubt superi

40、or to the Indians learning. They didnt expect that what they considered as good for the Indian youth would be taken as “totally good for nothing” by the Indians, to whom, the white peoples learning and sciences could be inapplicable in their living environment and irrelevant to the way they preferre

41、d to live. On the other hand, the Indians were also somewhat ethnocentric when they implied that their education was better by asking the white people to send their sons to be educated by the Indians and promising that they would be able to “make men of them” through instructing them in all the Indi

42、ans knew. 第22頁/共27頁Case StudyCase 30 (Page 286-287) It is said that the event which really marked a dividing point in Western images of China was the visit of U. S. President Richard Nixon to China in February 1972. “A week that changed the World” was Nixons characterization of his own trip and his

43、view was shared by many Americans, because it symbolized that the U. S. no longer regarded China as a major enemy, perhaps even not as an enemy at all. Images of contemporary China were changed drastically in the process. 第23頁/共27頁Case StudyCase 31 (Page 287) It seems that Ian and Peter have the sam

44、e problem, that is, they are both strongly stereotyped by other people and are seldom seen as they actually are. The pinning of qualities and abilities onto individuals and stereotyping them as either “artistic and expressive” or “practical and sensible” may run deep within some societies. In this w

45、ay, people are reduced in their potentials according to such crude labels that are used to explain them. 第24頁/共27頁Case StudyCase 32 (Page 288) This case clearly shows two very different perceptions of what is going on. Jeremy believes he is being supportive, inclusive and understanding, whereas Jabu

46、 feels she is being treated badly and indeed the victim of racism. Jeremy does not base his understanding of Jabu on what he observes of her, but on impressions he himself has had from his own experience in her country, South Africa, and the basis of his impressions is likely to have been stereotypical. The way Jeremy treats Jabu often implies that Jabu and her culture are inferior and backward. 第25頁/共27頁HomeworkRead “Behaviors That Separate Us (p289-291)”.
