ethnocentric

meaning: "my culture is the center." If you are ethnocentric, you are not prone to evaluating other cultures through their members' viewpoints. Seeing things through the eyes of others is called cultural relativism. It is used by people in communications and anthropology fields. Ethnocentrists tend to think that their way is better, and never try to change their perceptions. They can also be mundanes, religious fanatics, or incredibly close-minded.
