ANT 101 Week 1 DQ 1 Cultural Relativism FOR
MORE CLASSES VISIT www.ant101helps.com   Cultural
Relativism. Cultural Anthropology gives three
distinct meanings of cultural relativism a moral
stance that requires anthropologists to suspend
moral and ethical judgments when interacting with
a culture different from their own, a
methodological strategy that allows the
anthropologist to pay specific attention to the
uniqueness of a culture, and an epistemological
position that cultures are unique and therefore
knowledge about different cultures is almost
inherently not comparable. (Sec. 1.3). In your

g Business with Family. Nowak and Laird's
Applying Anthropology 6.2 box, in Cultural
Anthropology, proposes the following
question The familiar saying never do business
with family advises against the practices used
in many of the chiefdom societies discussed in
this chapter. This old saying implies that doing
business with family will create conflict,
whereas chiefdom societies welcome and encourage
such close-knit economic exchanges as a way of
preventing conflict. In fact, in an interesting
article on family businesses, Bertrand and Schoar
comment on how cultures based on strong family
ties can have a negative impact on economic
