15. Examples of Ethnocentrism

16. Great Wall of China
China's very name is composed of ideographs meaning "center" and "country" respectively, and traditional Chinese world maps show China in the center. It's also important to note that it wasn't just China that bought into this idea. At the height of the Chinese empire, the Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, and Thai also believed China to be the centre of the universe and referred to China as the middle kingdom. To this day, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam still refer to China as the middle country. The Great Wall had effected the world by giving off ideas to other countries of how to protect themselves and ways to prevent war. Not only that it had given people different ideas through art forms and invented a creative way of thinking. It introduced new ideas like ethnocentrism which kept people isolated and only believe in themselves and that their ideas were best. Destruction and progress were both caused in the creation of the Great Wall. It had created destruction by decreasing trading routes and ethnocentrism due to the isolation of each part of the country. It made it harder to trade with countries up north for the southern China and hard for northern China to trade with southern countries such as India. As well as enabling them to create alliances with other countries. Progress was created with the Great Wall by keeping them protected and being over run by other countries and enemy's.
