Unpacking Cultural Superiority – Part 1: Beyond Historical Imperialism

In today’s complex global landscape, the dynamics of cultural superiority and imposition are not confined to any one nation or historical period. While often associated with British colonialism, these behaviours manifest worldwide, reflecting deeper issues of cultural dominance and resistance. Terms like Cultural Imperialism, Ethnocentrism, National Chauvinism, Jingoism, Xenophobia, and Nativism help us understand these dynamics.

By recognizing and addressing these complex issues, we can work towards a more inclusive and respectful global society.
