What Is Cultural Relativism
Cultural relativism is contradictory when it states that every culture should embrace a policy of tolerance towards other cultures. To begin with, cultural relativism states right and wrong differ from one cultural to another, it does not imply that other cultures have to tolerate that point of view. The fact of the matter is, one culture believes one idea and another may have another idea. These cultures are not going to change their point of view, or remotely agree with the other culture if their views are contradictory. Each culture has its own beliefs, there is no room for tolerance in true cultural relativism.
If cultural relativism was true, I think we would have considerably increased cases of war between cultures. Cultures have such
deep-seated beliefs that it would cause disagreements and lead to war when trying to argue which culture has the right or wrong moral views. In true cultural relativism the morals are ingrained in the minds of the culture and not challenged or changed, this would lead to war if they tried to persuade another cultures of their views.
