Ethnocentrism is the tendency to view one's own culture or group as the norm and to judge other cultures or groups based on one's own cultural standards. This can lead to a biased and often negative view of other cultures or groups. Anti-Semitism refers specifically to prejudice and discrimination against Jewish people, while cultural universalism is the belief that there are certain values and practices that are common to all cultures. Generalization refers to making broad statements or assumptions about a group of people based on limited or incomplete information.
