Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own cultural group determines the standards by which other groups' behavior should be judged. Cultural blindness is an inability to recognize the differences between one's own cultural beliefs, values, and practices and those of another culture. Cultural imposition is the act of imposing own cultural beliefs, values, and practices on individuals and groups from another culture. It is different from cultural relativism, which is an ability to recognize that each cultural group has its own set of beliefs and that each culture should be evaluated on its own merit. Nurses often impose their values on patients by forcefully promoting western biomedical traditions while ignoring the patients' value of treatment forms.
