Transcript

00:04

Here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by cynicism [Person typing cynicism on laptop]

00:06

we'd make a joke but well we know you wouldn't laugh here's a question. Dianna

00:11

believes her culture is superior to any other in the world and doesn't want to

00:14

interact with people outside of her own culture because she believes them to be

00:18

inferior Diana exhibits which of the following.. and here are our potential answers

00:23

stuck-up snobbery is not an option here

00:28

well right off the bat we can eliminate A - a cross-cultural [Girls sitting on sofa eating]

00:32

perspective is one in which someone can observe and compare differences between

00:36

in and among cultures kind of sounds like what Diana is doing right? not quite, the

00:41

term is meant to imply objectivity and as with all empirical research it holds [Teacher discussing objectivity]

00:46

no inherent judgment or bias and we don't know about you but anytime someone

00:50

calls us inferior we feel a little judged, words hurt Diana... C isn't what

00:55

we're looking for either while it's clear that the only individual's opinion [Girl meditating on living room floor]

00:58

Diana cares about is Diana's that's not quite what individualism is all about

01:02

it's actually more of a social and philosophical outlook that emphasizes [Diana teaching social and philosophical outlook]

01:06

the worth of an individual and believes that the rights of the individual should

01:10

come before the interests of the collective while we're sure Diana firmly

01:14

believes the rights of Diana should come before anything else this isn't the best [Diana protesting Diana's rights]

01:18

answer choice here so we can nix it from our list we can also get rid of answer E

01:22

collectivism well collectivism is the exact opposite of individualism it's a

01:27

social outlook that emphasizes the significance of the group over the

01:32

individual think the collective good what's best for the group is best for [Diana clone appears from cloning machine]

01:37

the individual all right and while Diana clearly values her culture ie her group

01:41

this still isn't the best option on our list and not to be a debbie downer but

01:46

cynicism definitely isn't what we're looking for

01:49

either cynicism refers to the belief that people are motivated by [Lots of Diana clones appear from machine]

01:52

self-interest and while we could make the argument that Diana's view is

01:55

cynical would there really be any point anyway cynicism still isn't the best

01:59

choice.....The best choice here is

02:02

B ethnocentrism, otherwise known as a belief that one's culture is better than [Diana and clones protesting with flag of Diana]

02:07

all others otherwise known as Diana.com an ethnocentric Diana

02:13

person uses their own culture as a standard and then compares and contrasts

02:18

it to other cultures in an effort to demonstrate their cultures superiority [Diana using megaphone in the street with clones]

02:22

sounds absurd, unfair and inherently biased yeah that's because it is but

02:27

absurd, unfair and inherently biased-ism doesn't roll off the tongue as easy as

02:32

ethnocentrism so now if you'd excuse us we're going to go look into cynicism a

02:36

bit more it sounds like something we might be interested in but it [Boy punching laptop screen in frustration]

02:40

probably won't work out
