Cosmopolitanism is just opposite to ethnocentrism. A cosmopolitan does not evaluate the values and beliefs of other people according to his own rather he respect all the cultures equally. A Cosmopolitan is ready to adapt other cultures and share his own culture with others

For example the people of many Western countries believe that the people of eastern countries have inferior culture in the same manner the people of southern part of India believe that the culture of eastern and northern part of India is quite inferior to their this is ethnocentrism.

However the people of metro cities often go and adjust in other cities and even countries very easily just because of their Cosmopolitan nature.
