Ethnocentrism is the attitude to look at the world mainly from the perspective of one's own culture. Ethnocentrism, there is be a means of social integration and the formation of the ethnic identity, but ethnocentrism  can be caused international isolation.
Cultural relativism is the attitude that the features and values of a culture cannot be wholly translated into, or fully understood in, other languages.

According to browse in addition, there is extreme cultural relativism that the risk of excessive cultural relativism. I thought cultural relativism is better than ethnocentrism , after searching i also learned that there is a risk of extreme cultural relativism in cultural relativism

I want to know more about attitude view culture other than cultural relativism and ethnocentrism.
