Xenocentrism is the opposite of ethnocentrism which means a group of people prefers the ideas, practices, styles, and things from other cultures over ideas and things from their own culture.  The fundamental thing in xenocentrism is that other cultures are superior to your own. For example, in watching television shows, movies or series, I and my friends prefer to watch English shows, Korean, Taiwanese or Chinese series than Bisaya shows. It is somewhat awkward to hear Visayan dialect in TV and sometimes we make fun of it although we are Davaoeños. It is better to hear English conversation and movies because it is not funny at all. Another example is at home I used to eat with chopsticks because I was influenced by Korean tradition of eating. But when the first time I use it, I find it quite uneasy because I grew up using spoon and fork in eating. But now I love using chopsticks even more and it’s convenient to use. In Philippine setting, using chopsticks is not unusual anymore although mostly Filipinos prefer to eat with bare hands or spoons and forks but because of the restaurants by Filipino-Chinese, Japanese and Korean communities, Filipinos were able to adjust and learn to accept this kind of practice. Moreover, I and my friends use to love Korean pop music, Taiwanese and Japanese music and even their shows. Sometimes we are desperate enough in trying to learn their language. I myself love to learn Korean and luckily I know how to read and write Korean but I have difficulty in understanding the conversations because I’m just learning it on my own through the websites in the internet. But I know several basic Korean phrases and few Chinese and Japanese. I even notice that my family is somewhat adjusting to these kind of music I played at home although they don’t like it at first because they can’t understand the songs and videos I’m playing and the more usual I played these, the more my family would accept it although it is not their preference at all time.
