Question 6 • *CR Speech (ELECTIVE, 1 semester, E6001OX)

Ethnocentrism causes which of the following communication barriers?

Answer
A
Ethnocentrism can cause people to share too much personal information.
B
Ethnocentrism causes people to develop negative attitudes about others.
C
Ethnocentrism can lead people to use the wrong language when communicating.
D
All of the above are communication barriers caused by ethnocentrism.

Explanation

Ethnocentrism means viewing one’s own culture as the standard and judging other cultures by it. This can create prejudice or negative attitudes toward people from other cultures, making communication harder. Sharing too much personal information and using the wrong language are not direct effects of ethnocentrism, so “Ethnocentrism causes people to develop negative attitudes about others” is the best answer.
