When Bella’s new neighbor (who just moved from India) plays her some Indian classical music involving a sarod, tabla, and vocals, Bella’s first reaction is that "it sounds out-of-tune." Her new neighbor is slightly offended, thinking to herself, "at least it sounds better than the American pop she listens to." In this case, both parties are making value judgements based on what they are accustomed. What is this called?

    Answer:ethnocentrism

    Explanation: Ethnocentrism refers to how a person tends to judge someone's culture using their own culture as a standard measure. This idea makes someone feel like their culture is superior and everyone's culture is inferior so anything that doesn't align with his or her culture the person will consider it to be wrong or unreal.

    A person from India thinks their music is the best one when compared to the American music and the person from America thinks the Indian music is out of tune only because it doesn't fall into the kind of music that is common in American culture.
