CULTURAL RELATIVISM
form of moral relativism that holds that all ethical truth is
relative to a specific kind of culture. According to cultural
relativism, it is unacceptable to judge that a certain kind of
behavior is right or wrong; rather, it can only ever be
acceptable that a certain kind a behavior is right or wrong
relative to a certain society.
CULTURAL RELATIVISM
The concept of cultural relativism also means that ethical
standard is subject to the perspective of each person within
their specific culture. Overall, there is no standard of right or
wrong ethical system. In a holistic understanding of the term
cultural relativism, it tries to encourage the understanding of
cultural practices that are strange to other cultures.
