[quote=CHYNAGYRL,235707]Sometimes, when traveling, I encounter *cultural relativism*. It's a term invented by anthropologists explaining that cultural activities can only be understood within their context. When Asians people are "sensitive" to foreigner's comments, often they rely on cultural relativism to justify their way of doing things. I kind of agree with this, because each culture has a different history and reasons for how they do things. For instance, I wouldn't fault Chinese for eating dog meat, or women for choosing to marry money over love. However, when a country's people uses *moral relativism* to tell others not to criticize their affairs, then it's dangerous. Because we live in an international community, and even though each country has different political, economic, sociological situation, basic human rights and requirements for health and happiness are similar for humans around the world.[/quote]
