PRACTICING CULTURAL RELATIVISM
No unread replies.No replies.
At the heart of cultural relativism is the practice of being non-judgemental.
This Discusssion is designed for you to show that you are able to practice communicating in a respectful relativistic way about topics that are unusual, unpleasant or unexpected. Your success in discussing something that you found “weird” or “horrible” in a non-judgemental way will determine your grade.
Discuss some of the things that you found “weird,” “strange,” or unexpected in your readings (textbooks for this class).
Remember to be culturally relativistic and sensitive while still experiencing the cultural differences.
