ANT 101 Week 1 DQ 1 Cultural Relativism (Ash
course)
For more course tutorials visit www.uophelp.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).

    Anthropology, proposes the following question
  • The familiar saying never do business with
