Eurocentricity

Eurocentrism is a worldview that centers European culture, history, and perspectives as the standard or most important, often at the expense of other regions and cultures. It tends to prioritize European achievements and ideas, shaping how history, art, and knowledge are understood globally. This perspective can overlook or undervalue the contributions and experiences of non-European peoples, reinforcing a skewed view of the world. Recognizing eurocentrism helps promote a more balanced, inclusive understanding of diverse cultures and histories.
