Resistance to learning the language of a country where one is visiting is an example of ethnocentrism.
True or False?
I would think this is false but I wanted a second opinion.
I think it's true. Resistance to learning another language may mean that the person believes his/her own language and customs are superior.
Your initial inclination is correct. This statement is false. Resistance to learning the language of a country where one is visiting is not an example of ethnocentrism. Ethnocentrism refers to the belief in the superiority of one's own ethnic or cultural group, and the tendency to judge other cultures by the standards and beliefs of one's own culture.
Not learning the language of a country where one is visiting can be attributed to various reasons like limited time, lack of resources, or personal preferences. It does not necessarily indicate a belief in the superiority of one's own language or culture. However, it is generally considered respectful and helpful to make an effort to learn or understand the basics of the local language when traveling to another country.
