1!The Effects Of Cultural Relativism On Society In The Philippines
Culture is the way we live as humans. It encompasses beliefs, practices, values, attitude, laws, norms, artifacts, symbols, knowledge and everything that a person leans and shares as a member of society. Cultural relativism is where one suspends ones cultural roots and understand by seeing another culture according to the standards of that culture. Although having a common culture is a way for us to coherently relate with one another it is also important for us to open our eyes to the changes in our surroundings and to be able to adapt to them. Imagine a place where everyone thinks his/her own culture is superior to others. Of course our perspective can help us understand why certain actions are considered right or wrong. Taking into consideration the conti
nuous change in different countries, our own country is taking its share in change as well. The Filipinos have taken the diverse cultures being brought to the Philippines rather well. Acknowledging, respecting and beginning to understand others cultural beliefs brings us closer together. Cultural relativism is the ability to understand a culture on its own terms and not to make judgments using the standards of ones own culture. Since the Philippines is a growing and developing country, we are open and very hospitable to foreign cultures and are starting to adapt to those traditions. Although it is not ethical to judge a book by its cover, we must learn to politely reject or accept things that are no longer aligned to our moral values. Cultural relativism has made a huge impact and change in the Philippines that we are experiencing both the good and bad changes it has brought to us. The Philippines is changing and adapting, both for our benefit and a possible downfall.
