I'm a Cultural Relativistic, because I want
people to live out their religious or cultural convictions and to enjoy them without having to worry about other people's motives. What do you think are the best ways to administer/manage cultural differences in the philippines?
By being open to the traditions and

A person’s culture is shaped by more than the color of their skin or the way that they dress. It’s shaped by the person’s life experiences and traditions, which may be seen or unseen to the naked eye.
