Thanks ms sue so for cultural relativism would human rights be one ? What another be? I not quite understand cultural relativism
Here's an example of cultural relativism. Many pious religious people believe that women should dress modestly and cover most of their bodies with clothing. They do not accept that many people accept women who wear short skirts, shorts, and halter tops.
Thanks very much ms sue :)
No problem! I'll help you come up with examples for subcultures, ethnocentrism, and cultural relativism.
1. Subcultures:
- Hip-hop Subculture: This subculture encompasses various elements such as music, fashion, language, and behavior that are distinct to the urban youth. It includes hip-hop music, street art, specific styles of clothing like baggy jeans and hoodies, and unique dance styles like breakdancing.
- Gaming Subculture: This subculture is based around video games and attracts enthusiasts who identify themselves as gamers. They often engage in gaming tournaments, cosplay events, online gaming communities, and follow gaming-related content on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.
2. Ethnocentrism:
- A person from Country A considers their language and culture superior to those of Country B simply because they are different.
- A tourist visiting a foreign country dismisses the local cuisine as strange or unappetizing without giving it a fair chance due to a bias towards their own cultural food preferences.
3. Cultural Relativism:
- A traveler embraces cultural relativism when they visit a foreign country and show respect for and curiosity towards the local traditions, customs, and beliefs, understanding that they are different but equally valuable.
- A person from a particular culture learns about the practices and values of another culture, avoids making judgments based on their own cultural standards, and seeks to understand and appreciate the cultural context of the other society.
To come up with examples, it is helpful to think about various groups of people and their practices, beliefs, customs, and behaviors. Considering current trends, hobbies, cultural clashes, or exploring different parts of the world can help you identify relevant examples.
