Ethnocentricity can cause many conflicts because one judges the other culture with their eyes instead of accepting the culture. In the movie the First Australians, the British thought the first Australians of being savages because they didn't wear clothes. The Aborigines became mad as the British compared their culture with Aborigines.In this movie the Aborigines were shown less ethnocentric because according to them accepting others cultures and values. The Aboriginals were known to be more open with each other. This made them think that the British were strange because they were not as open as the Aborigines. In western cultures like England, it is a common take over other's land. When the British came and colonized Australia, the Aboriginals were speechless because they already had separated the borders and the British were messing up their planning. Both The British and Aborigines evaluated one another through their point of view, which caused conflicts. The British thought that they were superior to the first Australians and decided to take by force. In the book "The Rabbits", the British took over the Aboriginals land by destroying their land and ruining it. The Aboriginals fought with the British with their force back to keep their land, but the British had the advantage of advanced warfare and killed most of the Aboriginals .They even ordered to kill women and children, so they can stop the race going on for generations. All this would not have been happened if both of the culture would have got along and treated each culture with respect. If this had taken place, both cultures wouldn't have to fight and everything would have settled.
