William G. Sumner, who coined the term ethnocentrism, is famously known as America's first sociology professor. He taught social sciences at the Yale University. It is wondrous, really, how this world is made up of so many different people belonging to different races or ethnicities.
Another example of ethnocentrism in language can be found in the origin of the English term barbarian. Originally a Greek word, the term was used to refer to tribes that lived around the edge of ancient Greek society. The Greeks referred to these people as barbars because they could not understand their speech.ecause of the way we are taught our culture, we are all ethnocentric. This term comes from the Greek root ethnos, meaning a people or group. Thus, it refers to the fact that our outlook or world view is centered on our own way of life.
