Eurocentrism
"However, to accept the expression 'Eurocentrism' as a concept with negative connotations is-in a certain perspective-to reject European modernity with all its implications including democracy, human rights, and mass communication."
Sven Erik Nordenbo in "What Is Implied by a 'European Curriculum?' Issues of Eurocentrism, Rationality and Education" uses the above mentioned quote in his writing to broaden the lens through which the readers view Eurocentrism. It is absolutely imperative that we look at the holistic impact of it instead of narrowing it just to the race of individuals. Fortunately, the world has derived some good things from the diffusion of European culture. For example, mass education and democracy. He challenges critics of the term to be more thorough in the narrowing of the aspect they take issue with, specfically race pertaining to Eurocentrism. He also states that there is a Eurocentric curriculum. This means that there are certain aspects that are distinct to those of the Eurocentric mindset. However, that curriculum is used for people not of the Eurocentric mindset, leaving others disadvantaged. It also tries to create a homogeneous society. It fails to realize the beauty in diversity.
In before an after pictures one usually is trying to ameliorate their outer appearance. Applying this logic, this picture explicitly states that the European look is better than the Asian.
