Anglocentrism

Anglocentrism refers to the practice of viewing the world primarily through the lens of English or Anglo-American culture, language, and values, often marginalizing or disregarding non-English-speaking or non-Anglo perspectives.

This term is used to describe a bias that elevates English-speaking countries and their viewpoints over others, particularly in global discourse, education, media, and politics.

In educational settings, for example, Anglocentric curriculums may overlook non-Western knowledge systems or cultural contributions.

[2] Moreover, in media and politics, the prominence of English-speaking narratives may limit the representation of non-Anglo cultures and experiences.

[3] As global interconnectedness grows, awareness of Anglocentrism and its effects has led to efforts to promote linguistic and cultural pluralism in international institutions and discourse.
