  • Effects Of Ethnocentrism On Native Americans

    168 Words  | 1 Pages

    I would argue that Native Americans were brutally massacred due to ethnocentrism. The Dominant group, white people, destroyed and ripped away multiple cultures, languages, and traditions from the native people. The dominant group clearly thought themselves of God’s gift to the world; they believed that they were the standard that all other ethnicities and races should aspire to be. Therefore, they chose to coerce the Native people into forgetting their culture so, they could force the dominant culture on to them. This was a cultural massacre, but this was not the only massacre the dominant group committed, even if they did not know about it.

    Intimate Colonialism is when the government tried to set up a policy that would encourage Indian Service staff members to intermarry with Native Americans. During the late 19th century, immigration was rising and the big thing in this era was assimilation. Assimilation is integrating people to be accustomed to the United States culture, behavior, value and norms. Though Native Americans have lived in America longer than anyone, the federal government thought that instead of ostracizing them for wanting to value their traditional culture, they created an assimilation policy for Native Americans. “The government’s assimilation policy sought to destroy Native nations’ cultural and political identities by replacing them with Anglo – American norms of behavior (108).”

  • Ethnocentrism In Us Culture

    Ethnocentrism and its prevalence in U.S culture Ethnocentrism is judging another culture solely by the values and standards of one’s own culture. Individuals who are ethnocentric judge other groups in relation to their own ethnic group or culture. I think The United States likes to refer to themselves as the “big mixing pot” of cultures. I would agree, we do have a wide range of different cultures, but that does not mean that we do not “evaluate and judge other cultures based on how they compare to our own cultural norms.” I think us as Americans feel this way, because we are too scared to change what we have learned and known since birth.
