Default Re: Cultural relativism
I was under a different impression, I guess. I thought cultural relativism wasn't so much about the passing of judgement, which, to me, is a natural thing, but more so about the understanding that different people have different customs and traditions from our own, and by extension, a certain respect for their customs and traditions is warranted.

Under this definition, I am definitely a cultural relativist and also, to an extent, an isolationist. The perfect world for me would be constituted by different people who, for the most part, keep to themselves while respecting others.
