Examples of Eurocentrism in the following topics:
-
Historical Bias
- As Europe gradually benefited from the ongoing scientific progress and dominated the world in the self-imposed mission to colonize nearly all other continents, Eurocentrism prevailed in history.
- However, even within the Eurocentric perspective, not all Europeans were equal; Western historians largely ignored aspects of history, such as class, gender, or ethnicity.
- Yet, even in the rather unusual German case, Eurocentrism continues to dominate.
- Yet, world history courses still struggle to move beyond the Eurocentric perspective, focusing heavily on the history of Europe and its links to the United States.
- It is quite extensive but its perspective is entirely Western Eurocentric.
