Lesson 7

Cultural Relativism
ROSELYN F. PANOPIO, MA, LPT, RPm
Relate this statement to
identify the meaning of
cultural relativism
Cultural
Relativism
“What is true for me is
true for me, and what is
true for you is true for
you”
The view that moral or ethical
systems, which vary from culture to
culture, are all equally valid and no
one system is really “better” than any
other.

Cultural The idea that a person’s beliefs, values,


and practices should be understood based

Relativism on that person’s own culture, rather than


be judged against the criteria of another.

Morality is relative to the norms of one’s


culture. That is, whether an action is right
or wrong depends on the moral norms of
the society in which it is practiced. The
same action may be morally right in one
society but be morally wrong in another.

society as a whole to help every Filipino
grow into the strong moral person

ethical person, he/she should capitalize on
his/her strengths and eliminate his/her
weaknesses.
