Cultural Relativism

A cultural relativist does not believe that their respective culture and beliefs is the right way to approach life. I am a cultural relativist, because I believe in diversity. Thus I will be talking about cultural Relativism in this blog.

I’m half Hindu and half Sikh because different cultures other than just Hinduism and Sikhism. I understand the fact that we all are very different from each other in many different ways and that is the reason I respect and understand that we all have our own different beliefs. I would like to use the example of body art to show how we all have our ways of showing the world we are different.

Over 7 million Americans now days have tattoos and they say they get it so they can stand out and some people also consider it as a commitment.People in Burma think long necks are attractive so they wear coils to make their necks longer and in Africa they use body art to represent manliness.

This shows how we all have different ways of using body art, and I don’t think any of these people are wrong for being the way they are because I don’t have the right to judge anyone, just the way no one has the right to judge me for being who I am.
