ECCENTRIMENTAL 

An individual that is unusual, a bit strange even, but cool and unique in their own way. They tend to have inconsistent mood swings and can't decide what they want in life. This person would not hurt a fly but fails to recognize they are actually hurting themselves by allowing life to pass them by.
You never know what mood he is going to be in because he is so eccentrimental.

Ecocentric 

Ecocentric = an adjective used to describe a state of mind;
of a person, or a social group, who is, or are:
Committed to Making a Positive Contribution to The Survival of Mankind And The Eco-System Which Supports Us.
Generally Speaking, this includes most Responsible Parents; because they need to Care about the Culture and Environment which their descendants will have; to live in.
At Grass Roots Level: Efficient Recycling of Domestic Waste is the first positive contribution we can make towards protecting our environment.
When we do so we are acting ecocentrically.
Ecocentric Edna eternally endures
the toxic waste pollution made by other peoples cures
for the ills which they think grip the world
or (more probably) just one nation,
the spillages and breakages of the popular libation;
The parties and the dancing, the singing and the fun, and a nine-year-old with a shotgun who would kill to save his Mum from the drunken thug who drove her home, for his, not her, own reason; "For Friends of Mum, We Make Hot-Cross-Buns,
but for Thugs? It's Open Season!
The Randy Fool dies on the floor near the battered woman he'd called Whore, who shreiks, "I Told You Dick, I'm an Ordinary Housewife; I Don't Do Tricks!"
The Nine-Year-Old, Now Traumatised, Sits Ashen-Faced and Glassy-Eyed: "For Friends of Mum, we make Hot-Cross-Buns, But For Thugs ? Its Open Season!"

eurocentrism 

When you eliminate or omit the perspective and/or contributions (good or bad) of a group of people, usually people of color.
The show "Friends" and "Cheers" have eurocentrism themes, how many people of color did you see on these shows?

Can you say you live in a world in which you don't have any contact with someone of color? Few, if any can.

econocentrism

Econocentrism is judging another economic system solely by the values and standards of one's own economic system. Econocentric individuals judge advocates for other economic systems relative to their own economic system, especially with concern for underlying supply and demand principles, with or without formalizing the value of intangible assets like human emotional development or environmental sustainability, and the monolithic implied trustworthiness of market dynamics.

These distinctions and subdivisions among various economic systems serve to define each economists unique philosophical and academic identity. Econocentrism may be overt or subtle, and while it is considered a natural proclivity of western democratic and humanitarian values, it has developed a generally negative connotation as a result of the contemporary outcome of globalized neo-liberal and free-market economic dominance, which has been observed as producing obscene wealth and income inequality, robust destruction of the life supporting planetary ecosystem, and the dismantling of the ability of national political institutions to serve the best interests of their largest constituencies.
The Grove City College holds a peculiar variation of econocentrism, as its core economic curricula is structured to communicate the theory of free-market economics as most notably presented by Von Mises. This economic system and theory is an outlier among other US colleges and universities, which predominantly are econocentrist, to the context of neo-liberal economics.
