CULTURAL
RELATIVISM
What is Cultural Relativism?
Cultural relativism is the idea that a person’s beliefs,
values and practices should be understood based on that
person’s own culture, rather than be judged against the
criteria of another.
Cultural Relativism vs Cultural Perspective
• Cultural relativism is the idea that cultures should be
evaluated based on their own standards and values.
• Cultural perspective is the idea that cultures can be
analyzed and understood based on our own cultural values
and norms.
Cultural Relativism vis-a-vis
Ethnocentrism
Cultural relativism debunks the concept of ethnocentrism- an idea that has
long haunted men, in their attempt to answer which among cultural behavior
should be the standard, if there is any. It is in exact opposition to cultural
relativism.
Ethnocentrism is the practice of taking one’s own people, society and culture
to be vantage point from which all else is viewed and judge(Bruce & Yearley,
2006).
Xenocentrism is the belief that one’s own cultural features are a downgrade
in comparison to those of other cultures. Xenoxentric individuals value
commodities, style culture or even ideas from another country or culture other
than their own(Bell, 2017).
Moral Relativism
In effect, cultural relativism results to, if not implies moral
relativism which maintains that different societies (and ages)
hold distinct systems of morality and that there are no objective,
and transcultural criteria for judging between these systems
(Herder as cited in Sikka, 2011.)
1. What is considered morally right
and wrong should be judge based
on cultural contexts.
1. Cultural relativism might fall prey
into the idea that universal
standards do not exist.
2. Cultural relativism is an answer
to cultural annihilation.
2. If universal standards do not
exist, so thus morality.
3. Cultural relativism promotes
multiculturalism.
3. Cultural relativism gives birth to
ethical relativism, which veers away
from the idea that there are objective
moral standards.
