Ethrocentrism
In my Nations & Nationalities geography course I was shocked to hear people's opinions of Riverwest and the actual borders of the area of Milwaukee.

I live in Riverwest near Bremen Cafe, and feel that I have a completely different point of view than many of my peers living on the Eastside. I found it interesting later to realize how defensive I had become about the neighborhood that I now live in. It helped me realize that I should try to see the way things are through other people's eyes. By putting myself in other people's shoes I can begin to understand people's actions and thoughts better.
