Ethnocentrism

The tendency of most people to use their own way of life as a standard for judging others; now also indicates the belief, on the part of most individuals, that their race, culture, society, etc., are superior to all others.

"Edward Said (1981), for example, charges that Western media coverage of Islam not only simplifies complex cultural and historical causes and consequences into journalistic clichés, but is also often marked by ethnocentrism and even racism."
