Egocentrism: limited in outlook or concern to one's own activities or needs
Sociocentrism: tendency to assume the superiority or rightness of one's own social group
As college students we
have to learn to become more equipped at critical thinking. Critical thinking
allows us to analyze, identify, and evaluate information. This type of thinking
has more to it than the skills that go along with it; to be a good critical
thinker a person needs to learn how to suppress their emotions and think
logically. We have to learn how no to let our feelings get in the way of
letting us think clearly about the information that is in front of us.
There are barriers that go along with critical thinking,
and they are egocentrism and sociocentrism thinking. Egocentrism is that
reality is centered on oneself, meaning that when they try to analyze
information instead of looking at it clearly they see it as all about them. The
other barrier is sociocentrism, meaning group centered thinking; this thinking
goes along with bias because they think that their group is better than
everyone else.
