Eurocentric narratives

Eurocentric narratives are perspectives that prioritize European culture, history, and values, often presenting them as central to global development and progress. This viewpoint tends to marginalize or overlook the contributions and experiences of non-European societies. In general knowledge, Eurocentrism can shape how history, art, science, and philosophy are taught, often emphasizing the achievements of Europe while minimizing the importance of diverse cultures and perspectives around the world. Recognizing these narratives encourages a more inclusive understanding of history that values all contributions equally.
