What is culture made up of? Why should we practice cultural relativism?

Cultural relativism is a complex concept that has a source of knowledge in the discussions of

relativity in philosophy of science and philosophy of language. The general concept of relativism

in sociology is linked to positivist criticism in the social sciences, while science focuses on

differences. Relativism is often contrasted with realism. Realism is the real reality that exists

independently in the mind.

This resistance between realism and relativism was influenced by the work of Immanuel Kant,

which claims that the physical and social world is mediated by our thoughts: the world mediated

by knowledge and thought As a result, this kind of relative epistemology or cognitive relativity

makes it difficult to determine the universal experience applicable to everyone. Because the

experience of one person's events and activities is different from the experience of another

person. Therefore, cognitive relativity broadly refers to an ideological position that rejects

absolute views and objective criteria to judge true or not.

Culture consists of behaviors, beliefs, objects, and other characteristics shared by a particular

group or member of society. People and groups define themselves through culture, adapt to the

common values of society and contribute to society. Therefore, culture includes many social

aspects. Languages, customs, values, norms, customs, rules, tools, technologies, products,

organizations and institutions. The latter term organization refers to a set of rules and cultural

meanings related to a particular social activity. Common institutions are family, education,

religion, work, and healthcare.

Cultural relativism is that any particular cultural morality or moral system is equally effective,

and no one system is actually better than any other system. This is based on the idea that there is

no ultimate standard about good and evil, and therefore all judgments about good and evil are the
products of society. Therefore, moral and ethical perspectives depend on each person's cultural

perspective. Ultimately, this means that the moral or moral system is not considered better or

worse, and that the particular moral or moral position is actually correct or wrong.

Cultural relativism is a universal stand of the modern world. As the boundaries of "culture"

widened, terms such as pluralism, tolerance and acceptance gained new meanings. The way

modern society defines these ideas freely makes it possible to defend almost everything on the

basis of relativism. The category of rationalism includes a fairly broad range of ideas that have

brought instability and uncertainty to areas previously thought to be populous. If you go to the

edge of the cliff, you can see an overview of the ground below. Just like cultural relativism,

moving forward is just a disaster.

Obviously, perspective is important for understanding history, psychology, and politics. A

cultural perspective can help you understand why a particular culture sees a particular behavior

as right or wrong. For example, in ancient societies, green hair dyes could be considered a

criminal offence. Even if it's not overwhelming, most modern societies feel strange. However,

more can be seen from a good cultural perspective. If you find that green hair is a sign of a

prostitute, then you know that it is not the color of the hair itself but the prostitution that is really

considered wrong.

However, the problem of shifting from cultural perspective to cultural relativism is the erosion of

its cause. Rather than simply saying you must understand the moral values of other cultures, it is

better to say that they cannot take any action to judge other cultures. There are no longer any

opinions, and it is almost impossible to say whether the culture is right or wrong. Maintaining

strict cultural relativism, we cannot say that human sacrifice is wrong or respect for the elderly is
correct. After all, they are cultural products. This turned moral history on the cliff into trivial

words.

The contradiction of cultural relativism is obvious. Societies that accept no good or bad ideas

lose their ability to make decisions. The way in which relativity, including cultural relativity,

penetrates into modern society has been manifested in strange ways to resolve this contradiction.

Acceptable has been changed to unconditional support and consent for all opinions and lifestyles.

However, those who choose tolerance should not support or agree. Therefore, tolerance is in

itself the best interest. This contradicts the idea of relativism. Similarly, violent crimes such as

rape and murder require moral judgment, but strict cultural relativity is not always wrong.

In fact, cultural boundaries cannot transcend transcendent boundaries, nor can humans be unique.

It is directly related to the culture, the main person in charge of the culture, the situation, the

concept and the corresponding requirements. The declared behavior establishes almost fraud or

almost legal non-employment rules. However, the meanings of best and better were identified. If

the cloud doesn't know how cloud is, there is no way to know which cloud is higher.

There must be errors always as a rejection of relativism itself. After all, those who insist on

cultural relativism must give up logic, because there is no room for either. It is fundamentally

impossible for a person to reasonably believe that there is no absolute morality, or at least that

belief cannot be practiced in a meaningful way.

Because this philosophy makes no sense, there must be a fundamental absolute element of good

and evil, regardless of the opinion of a particular company. These truths are not considered

developed by a particular group of people due to disagreements between different cultures. In

fact, the only logical place where these concepts are born is more universal or at least basic than

culture.
