Anthropology 2

1) POST comments/reflections on TWO ideas, examples, or claims from the video lecture.

2) FIND one example of U.S. American ethnocentrism. You can use any media you want. (15 points)

Remember that ethnocentrism is framing/presenting/showing U.S. American values, norms, beliefs, practices, material culture, or U.S. American people as “normal,” “natural,” “better,” “more advanced,” “smarter/stronger,” “more important,” etc. IN RELATION to any other culture or people.

You need to attach the example as an image, link or document and you need to briefly explain the ethnocentrism you see in the piece.

1) Make sure you identify the SPECIFIC U.S. American cultural values, practices, norms, at play.  (5 points)

2) Explain where you see ethnocentrism in the example. What is being valued? (Over what?) What is being privileged? (Over what?) What is being normalized? What is being idealized?  (10 points)
