1. Eurocentrism

   Eurocentrism (also Eurocentricity or Western-centrism) is a worldview that is centered on Western civilization or a biased view that favors it over non-Western civilizations. The exact scope of Eurocentrism varies from the entire Western world to just the continent of Europe or even more narrowly, to Western Europe (especially during the Cold War). When the term is applied historically, it may be used in reference to an apologetic stance toward European colonialism and other forms of imperialism.The term "Eurocentrism" dates back to the late 1970s but it did not become prevalent until the 1990s, when it was frequently applied in the context of decolonisation and development and humanitarian aid that industrialised countries offered to developing countries. The term has since been used to critique Western narratives of progress, Western scholars who have downplayed and ignored non-Western contributions, and to contrast Western epistemologies with Indigenous ways of knowing.

1. eurocentrism

   Eurocentrism is a viewpoint or bias that values and views European culture, history, values, and perspectives as superior and more important than those of other cultures, particularly those from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. This can lead to a distorted understanding of world history, socio-cultural phenomena, and global relations due to the overemphasis and presumed universality of Western or European experiences and values.
