Ethnocentrimsm in Writing.

Ethnocentrism. As mentioned, I always thought this was an anthropological kind of issue and when I was reading about how it could possibly pertain to writing and reading I thought it was kind of strange. HOWEVER I think that this is a kind of weird way of saying you need to experience certain things in life to really be able to express them in words. 

In short I feel like the goal was to show how perspective could give you a better idea of what you are writing about given the different point of view. I sure hope that made sense because I also am still wrapping my head around it. Kind of a real life compare and contrast but instead of comparing two opinions or viewpoints you are comparing yours hands on experience with that of a second hand source? I believe that is actually what I meant. 

Being able to compare and contrast your life and that of another basing it off of what you have learned in life is the key really to writing in an ethnocentric kid of way. But viewing yourself as the primary source of information that is both important and correct in your eyes as a writer. The purest form of human culture interconnecting with writing.
