14. Ethnocentrism
Ethnocentrism is the tendency to believe that one's ethnic or cultural group is centrally important, and that all other groups are measured in relation to one's own.
The ethnocentric individual will judge other groups relative to his or her own particular ethnic group or culture, especially with concern to language, behavior, customs, and religion.

15. Race and Racism
In simplest terms, race is any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.
the Dutch race.

16. Racism There are three aspects to Racism
The first is a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
Next, racism is inherent in policy, or evident in the system of government, both of which tend to foster a doctrine of discrimination.

Challenge yourself until you really know yourself.

22. Final Thoughts Continued
We can agree to disagree and still work together. Compromise is necessary, consensus is not always possible. Most values should not become law. Personal values should help us live well beyond what is legal and illegal. The standard of legal vs. illegal does not make for great values. The greatest values are those that push us to think of others before ourselves. Winning at any cost is not a value that leads to real success. Value people first! Those who work with people (helpers) rock! (But you are not going to get rich).
