Cultural relativism is a belief that cultures are equally complex. There is no such thing as superior or inferior culture.

Cultural relativism is very important in studying the culture of other people. It is a way of viewing the beliefs, values, and practices of a culture from its own 28 viewpoint. Another way to say this is that others should understand an individual’s beliefs and activities in terms of that person’s own culture.

• Cultural relativism promotes greater appreciation of the cultures that an individual might encounter along the way.
• Cultural relativism is a good way to rehearse the norms and values of a society –-- a requirement that one must subscribe to, regardless of his/her cultural origin.
• It means that the function and meaning of a trait are relative to its cultural setting.
