    This document discusses cultural relativism, ethnocentrism, and xenocentrism. It begins with defining cultural relativism as the idea that cultural norms, beliefs, and values should be understood within their own cultural context rather than being judged against another. Next, it describes ethnocentrism as believing one's own culture is superior and having a preference for it, while xenocentrism is defined as preferring aspects of other cultures. Several classroom discussion questions are then provided to help students explore these concepts and how cultural relativism can diminish ethnocentrism and promote respect for diversity.
