MODULE 2 Activity Number 3

Discuss the concept of cultural relativity.

What is corporate culture?
Give and discuss the five tenets of cultural relativism?

1. In cultural relativism, it is the idea that the knowledge, values, and behavior of other

people must be understood within their own cultural context. This idea also tries to

counter ethnocentrism by understanding other’s cultures and the reason why they do

that, not judging them by what your own beliefs and values are.

2. It is defined as the set of values, norms, interactions, and ethical principles shared by

the employees and owners of a particular organization.

3. The first is the moral code of a society determines what is right within that society, what

the moral code says that the action is right then it is right, at least in that society. The

people believe it to be right but the action, their moral code, and the people can be

wrong.

The second is the morals of cultures can never be wrong but they might need moral

improvement.

The third is there is no standard that can be used to judge one society’s code than

another. If there are practices that society does and is considered wrong then they must

be convinced that there are principles that have no correlation to another code of

society.
The fourth is moral code has no special status, it can only be described as one of the

best or the worst.

The final is we must not be judging others’ cultures but be tolerant. Too much tolerance

is also bad so it must be balanced.
