Cultural worldview
Cultural worldview is one's worldview on cultural diversity.
Three basic distinctive views are:
- Parochialism, which is one's viewing the world solely through your own perspectives, leading to an inability to recognize differences between people. While being coupled with ingroup favorism, parochialism may serve as the ground for one's ethnocentric attitude or even racism.
- Cultural apathy, which is one's awareness that cultural diversity exists, but it is not easy or even worthy to be explored. This apathy may serve as the ground for one's polycentric attitude.
- Global mindset (cultural open-mindedness), which is one's awareness that cultural diversity exists and willingness to embrace it. This mindset may serve as the ground for one's geocentric attitude. This mindset refers to the attributes that allow a leader to be effective in cross-cultural environments.
