The answer is: a belief that one's own culture is superior to all other cultures.

Explanation for each option:

  1. The complex set of values, behaviors, lifestyles, arts, beliefs, and institutions of a population that are passed on from generation to generation:

    • This describes culture in general, not ethnocentrism specifically. Ethnocentrism is a specific attitude towards one's own culture in relation to others.

  2. An understanding, appreciation, and sensitivity to foreign cultures:

    • This describes cultural competence or cultural sensitivity, which is the opposite of ethnocentrism. Ethnocentrism involves a lack of appreciation for other cultures.

  3. A belief that one's own culture is superior to all other cultures:

    • This is the correct definition of ethnocentrism. It involves judging other cultures by the standards of one's own culture and believing that one's own culture is better.

  4. A lack of good taste:

    • This is unrelated to the concept of ethnocentrism. It refers to poor judgment in aesthetic or social matters, not cultural superiority.

By understanding these distinctions, it becomes clear that ethnocentrism specifically refers to the belief in the superiority of one's own culture over others.
