Eurocentrism is basically the views of history through a european's eyes. Eurocentrism started in Europe, and then eventually spread around the world. While Europe was acting on this and spreading it's points of views around the world, everyone else was being passive. Most of the world history today is presented in a Eurocentric view. The Eurocentric views on history, show that Europe really acted, and really helped shaped our history. Non Eurocentrism is pretty much not looking at history in a europeans perspective. Instead Non Eurocentric views believe that China and India are the ones that really acted and shaped history, while the rest of the world stood around and watched. Both Eurocentrism and Non Eurocentrism are similar because both are opinionated views on who shaped history, and really made the world what it is today. But both Eurocentrism and Non Eurocentrism differ, because each are different opinions that have different views and perspectives on who truly acted and shaped history. But both of these are really based on opinion and what you believe. The author takes a Non Eurocentric narrative, because he really wants to make you think, and kind of look at another perspective. He wants you to look at something that not many people look at, and to question yourself on what you believe.
I chose this picture to represent an opinion, and also to in order to learn things you have to look through someone else's eyes.
