Answer:

Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own culture is superior to others and that other cultures should be evaluated according to one's own cultural standards. Cultural imperialism is the spread of a dominant culture at the expense of other cultures, often through the use of economic, political, and military power. These two concepts can operate together when a dominant culture spreads its own values and customs to other cultures, while at the same time viewing those cultures as inferior.
