Ethnocentrism

The advertising campaign of D&G highlights the Italian brand's sense of "superiority." It portrays Chinese culture in a disrespectful and derogatory way. This is a typical sign of ethnocentrism and has hurt the feelings of Chinese people.

Ethnocentrism refers to the behavior or belief that favors the nation, culture, or group to which one belongs, often accompanied by feelings of dislike for other groups. Influenced by ethnocentrism, one usually regards his or her own culture as "more appropriate, natural, correct and good" and regards other cultures as "inferior and abnormal." So ethnocentrism is very likely to lead to pride in one's own culture and prejudice against other cultures.

(3) Ethnocentric people tend to identify with "out-group" people and judge them in a positive light.

A True.

B False.

题目解答

答案

根据第二段，ethnocentrism指偏爱自己所属的国家、文化或群体，同时常伴随对其他群体的反感。ethnocentric的人通常认为自己的文化“更合适、自然、正确”，而将其他文化视为“低劣和异常”。这表明他们倾向于认同“in-group”（内群体）成员，并对“out-group”（外群体）成员持负面评价。题目中“tend to identify with 'out-group' people and judge them in a positive light”与原文不符，属于错误表述。 答案：B. False。

解析

本题考查对文章中关于“ethnocentrism（民族中心主义）”概念的理解。解题思路是仔细阅读文章中对民族中心主义的定义和描述，然后将题目中的表述与原文进行对比分析。

  1. 首先明确文章中对民族中心主义的定义：“Ethnocentrism refers to the behavior or belief that favors the nation, culture, or group to which one belongs, often accompanied by feelings of dislike for other groups.”，即民族中心主义是指偏爱自己所属的国家、文化或群体，且常伴有对其他群体的反感。
  2. 接着进一步阐述民族中心主义者的态度：“Influenced by ethnocentrism, one usually regards his or her own culture as'more appropriate, natural, correct and good' and regards other cultures as 'inferior and abnormal.'”，说明受民族中心主义影响，人们通常认为自己的文化更好，而其他文化低劣、不正常。
  3. 然后看题目表述“Ethnocentric people tend to identify with 'out - group' people and judge them in a positive light.”，意思是民族中心主义者倾向于认同“外群体”成员并给予积极评价。
  4. 最后对比可知，题目表述与原文中民族中心主义者对“外群体”持负面态度的描述不符，所以该表述是错误的。
