Culture Relativism is a contradictory theory for the explanation of the way we ought to live because the roots of the theory dont give any explanation for what is right and wrong but instead only a means for right and wrong to be judged. By no fathom of the imagination can one contend that his or her own self ideas are correct there are certain bias that come with all judgments on the correct way to live, but if culture relativism stood true than it must be able to give some sort of universal truth. To produce a theory that says in its entirety the correct way to live depends on the culture you were brought up in and that is a truth contradicts itself.Culture relativists contend that this is a truth all people are different and we all have different moral codes. I think for the most we do, but to what does this argument mean? For all intents and purposes a true person accepts the means of diversity and the right for a person to believe what they want, oh wait I guess if I were to say that and be a culture relativist I would have to listen to someone tell me that in country X they think that everyone should think just alike and if you stray from that you will get shot. I would listen to the way things worked in country X and smile and say different strokes for different folks. Just because someone is raised in a different culture and has certain beliefs is one thing, but there are certain inalienable stances in this world that must be right or wrong (at least in theory) and making these stances and believing they are true would be an absolute impossibility for culture relativists. Because no matter what you would believe, you would also have to believe that someone else was as equally correct as yourself.Although I do understand the rational of understanding there are different cultures and quite frankly many of them have very good reasoning for the things they do, I would like to point out the case study that was looked at in James Ra...
