Group 1 Adriana Ayala, Anixa Flores, AJ Allison, Ryan Fischer-Milanovic, Ali Faraj Positive aspects of ethnocentrism Ethnocentrism is a boost in many individuals lives since it encourages pride, confidence, and group identification. Many feel protected by others in the same group with the same thoughts and mindset because a sense of building a connections between them makes them feel wanted. That creates others to want to also join the group and feel wanted and heard for once. Ethnocentrism comes in play with each individuals country which patriotism is found. Everyone is proud of where they are from regardless of the flaws their country can have “ It is more than a home country that you support. It is a spirit where you believe that what you have is the best way to live life.” (Editor in Chief, 2019). Self identification of ones country plays a big role in patriotism “ It promotes nationalism and patriotism among the members of society. Because it stimulates the spirit of belonging to the society and. culture claiming superiority to others,”   Editor in Chief. (2019, May 28). 17 Advantages and Disadvantages of Ethnocentrism . ConnectUS. https://connectusfund.org/6-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-ethnocentrism   Negative aspects of ethnocentrism Ethnocentrism is the concept that ones culture is superior to another and use their culture to judge other. People with ethnocentric ideals view others who share their culture more positively then someone who does not. Ethnocentric societies will often become hostile towards other groups. We have seen this in one of the most extreme cases of WW2. Hitler believed that Jewish people and other minorities were lesser and shouldn’t be allowed to live. The Consequences and Negative Effects of Ethnocentrism (Internet Public Library, 2017). Using your own culture as the guideline for all cultures creates separation, prejudice and bias. We saw this during WW1 in America, the “… army used IQ tests on individuals… which was biased towards white American ideas of intelligence. Because of this, Europeans had lower scores of intelligence and African Americans were at the bottom of the IQ scale.” What is Ethnocentrism and How Does it Impact Psychological Research?

Effects of both aspects of ethnocentrism on the way tourists visit a foreign country- Ryan Fischer-Milanovic. • One way that the positive aspects of ethnocentrism can affect the way tourists visit foreign countries is through identification with one's own culture. For example, someone who lives in the US who happens to strongly identify with their own culture may be more compelled to make the choice to spend a vacation in their home country. They feel comfortable and proud of where they are from, as well as when someone visits their country they may feel happy to share their own culture with someone new to that space.  • On the other, more negative side of ethnocentrism, tourists can have negative attitudes towards other cultures and believe that the different beliefs, values, ideas, practices, etc are all
wrong or strange. Usually when it comes to discussing tourism and how it relates to ethnocentrism, it is seen as an overall negative attitude toward other cultures.  Common examples of how ethnocentrism can affect this attitude of the tourists are things like thinking the way or what another culture eats is strange, what another culture wears, or even things like questioning the intelligence of another culture and (commonly Americans) seeing themselves as superior and correct. Although this is widely seen among more developed countries, ethnocentric attitudes aren't isolated to just one culture, and can occur across most cultures and societies.

Effects of both aspects of ethnocentrism on the way students study comparative justice systems Investigates and evaluates a national system of justice in terms of other countries, cultures, or institutions. This is the study of causes and correlates of crimes in two or more cultures. The Criminal justice system is used to explain and understand all of agencies whose goal is to control crime.  The critical thinking is purposely mental activity which permits us to examine the relative strength of evidence, arguments, and alternative courses of conduct. 1). Determine what is known about an issue and ask ourselves why we think that way. 2). We seek out the opposite side of the story; understand other positions. 3). Objectively weigh the evidence and different opinions and then make a decision based on what is available.  The benefits: the experience of others, to broaden our understanding of different cultures and approaches to problems, and to help us deal more effectively with transnational crime problems.  Comparative Education and Ethnocentrism on JSTOR. (n.d). Www.jstor.org . http://wwwjstor.org/stable /3441690 Effects of both aspects of ethnocentrism on the way an author prepares a textbook on comparative justice When writing a textbook on criminal justice an author has to put into consideration who will be reading their book and how they may look at ethnocentrism. Pros It can raise people's levels of loyalty to a group, nation, or society.In American culture, patriotism is viewed as a virtue. It shows a person's loyalty to and support for the American way of life. Unless top-down efforts are taken to support ethnocentric beliefs, this devotion cannot exist. You advocate for much more than simply your home country. When you believe what you are doing is the best way to live, you have a spirit like that. A stronger sense of self-worth may result from it. Only when there is a great deal of pride attached to the individual experience would people begin to compare it to what others go through. Before you can accurately evaluate how someone else is living, you first need to appreciate who you are and the community in which you live. In some situations, this strategy can be helpful since it makes it possible for individuals to come to an understanding. It becomes possible to
