Ethnocentrism and other related terms B T L E W What can we do about ethnocentrism? Addressing ethnocentrism is not a matter of just trying not to be ethnocentric. Since people will never experience every life situation of everyone around the world, assumptions about life are based on existing limited experience.

The Lord said: “If people speak the same language as they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible. I have to go down and confuse their language so that they cannot understand each other.” B T L E W Lesson 10 – The Green Banana V. Tower of Babel __ The end of Tower of Babel. So the Lord scattered them from there over the whole world, and they stopped building the city. The tower intended to reach heaven was left unfinished and is hence called Tower of Babel. Thus, people should “understand each other”, as it was the case long before.
