Describe the differences between Cultural Chauvinism, Cultural Pride and Cultural degradation?

Before I discuss the differences between cultural chauvinism, cultural pride, and cultural degradation, let’s look at their similarity. They are similar, because all three are a fundamental element of a society which falls under ethnocentrism. These three examples, feel that in their culture they are superior in their own way or making false assumptions about other’s ways based on their own limited experience. The difference with cultural degradation is that an individual feel that their race, sex, religion, and gender makes them inferior due to their unique practice and customs. They attempt to minimize contact with the out-group. They also sometimes become very hostile towards the “in-group” who discriminate against them for their indifferences like defending themselves against cultural chauvinism. Cultural chauvinism one of the extreme of the two; here an individual do not treat other ethnic group who ever they may be as equals. They oppressed them by acts of omission and by their policy and practice. For example, the Europeans brag about superiority of their culture against the mixing culture of the United States, the United States multicultural only makes it more globally and cooperative with other countries around the world. Cultural chauvinism also shows insensitivity towards other cultures by using racist jokes, hate and violence. Cultural pride, individuals from certain group/ culture has solidarity, they are proud of their race, religion, gender, and customs. Self-esteem and group identity are important and bring about positive attitudes on culture that are oppressed. Culture relativity which has cultural pride, believes that all cultures are worthy in their own right and are of equal value. Also in cultural relativity they see nothing wrong with any cultural expression and holds that “good” means what is socially approved by the majority in a given culture. I think some of us possessed a little of the three cultural definition given. Some of us do believe that what ever group we are a part of is superior to any other group. Sometimes we become very hostile towards other group if that group offends our beliefs and values. Finally some of us view that all beliefs, customs, and ethics are relative to our own social context, which means that no one has the right to judge anyone.
