Anthropology People born into a particular culture that grow up absorbing the values and beha viors of the

culture will develop a worldview that considers their culture to be the norm.[6] If people then experience other cultures that have different value s and normal behaviors, they will find that the thought patterns appropriate to their birth culture and the meanings their birth culture attaches to behaviors a re not appropriate for the new cultures. However, since people are accustomed to their birth culture, it can be difficult for them to see the behaviors of peopl e from a different culture from the viewpoint of that culture rather than from t heir own.[7] Examples of ethnocentrism include religiously patterned constructs claiming a di vine association like "divine nation", "One Nation under God", "God's Own Countr y", "God's Chosen People" and "God's Promised Land".[8] In Precarious Life, Judith Butler discusses recognizing the Other in order to su stain the Self and the problems of not being able to identify the Other. Butler notes 'that identification always relies upon a difference that it seeks to over come, and that its aim is accomplished only by reintroducing the difference it c laims to have vanquished. The one with whom I identify is not me, and that 'not being me' is the condition of the identification. Otherwise, as Jacqueline Rose reminds us, 'identification collapses into identity, which spells the death of i dentification itself' (146).[9] However, Butler's understanding of Self and Othe r is Eurocentric itself because she writes that one cannot recognize Self unless it is through the Other. Therefore, Self and Other are limited through a langua ge of binary codes. Considering that language is essential to culture, individua ls will know themselves through the result of language plus culture. Dichotomous language is embedded in English and similar languages; however, dichotomous lan guage is not universal. Indeed, there are few dichotomies in many Indigenous and non-European languages (Battiste and Henderson 76).[10] It is by looking into t he language of a culture that one will be able to see oneself in relation to one 's environment and one's place in the world.
