<p>Anyway, I still stand by my view that saying “God bless America” is ethnocentric because of the technical definition of the word. Whether or not that’s a good or bad thing is up for individual interpretation. According to some anthropologists (Becker, among others), culture emerged to help people cope with death. Perhaps, to some extent, the variety of cultural practices has helped improve the reproductive success rate of humans overall. But this variety, in turn, made people bias towards their own culture. I think that from an anthropological standpoint, extreme ethnocentrism is dangerous.</p>
