Cultural relativity
position in science and anthropology, according to which the assessment and interpretation of the phenomena of one culture should be carried out taking into account the context of its own cultural system. The values, norms and behavior of different cultures are equivalent and should be understood in their unique historical and cultural conditions, without ethnocentric assessments “better or worse”. This concept emphasizes the need to take cultural sensitivities into account when analyzing behaviors, values, and traditions, avoiding universal judgments.
