Destroyed cars littered intersections where street battles had taken place, and almost every building was spattered with shrapnel”(Junger, 38). This imagery is used to show the devastation that happens during war. He gives us an image of a beautiful city and…

By choosing to be ethnocentric they have been able to preserve their languages and way of life over many centuries. If the Navaho, Zuni, Mormon, Spanish-Mexican, and Texans didn’t believe that their ethnic group was superior to the others then they probably would have shared cultures and ideas, eventually losing the things that make their cultures so special. Ethnocentrism…
