Cultural Relativism is something I feel everyone should take into consideration. It is very true that different cultures have different moral codes. An idea, concept, or some type of action that one culture partakes on might just be the total opposite to another culture. In either case, it doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong to do what they believe in because their knowledge on these certain situations have been passed down from the earlier people in their lives who believed in the same thing. We really don't have any "set rules" for everything in this world, for everything and anything can mean totally different things to similar or even different people. Now, I'm not saying that one should believe in another's point of view, but just the mere fact that one should respect the actions or reactions one commits to certain situations. I guess you can tell by now that I truly agree with the whole concept of Cultural Relativism. I've been in many situations where I was ashamed to participate in many cultural events because some of my friends might think differently of me. That they don't understand how a single event can mean more to them than they would ever know. So why is it that people don't respect other people's views, opinions, or actions and simply feel that everything that they do is the right thing and everything else is just plain wrong? This is where the concept of Ethnocentrism comes in, which is the belief that the ways of one's own culture are the only proper ones. Why must it be like this? Unfortunately as of now it hasn't changed since the past, and will be like this in the futures to come. Let's take a deeper look on how one culture take in another culture's views as just plain wrong.
