    The document discusses cultural relativism and cultural perspective in ethics. It defines relativism as the idea that truth and morality depend on context and culture. Cultural relativism is the view that ethical systems are relative to individual cultures, where what is right in one culture may be wrong in another. Cultural perspective refers to an individual's worldview shaped by their cultural background. While cultural relativism focuses on moral systems and cultural perspective on individual understanding, both avoid ethnocentrism and emphasize contextual understanding. The importance of cultural relativism and perspective is that they acknowledge morality as culturally dependent rather than universal.
