"Xenocentrism is the preference for the products, styles, or ideas of someone else's culture rather than of one's own.[1] The concept is considered a subjective view of cultural relativism.[2] One example is the romanticization of the noble savage in the 18th century primitivism movement in European art, philosophy and ethnography.[3]"
