      You have to side on absolute truth, the example there is the Bible alone, yet in this dark world it is stated as just a fairy tale book. If it's just a fairytale, then why is it band in 17 countries or more? The 21st centuries are sided to liberalism, that's no wonder, cuz it's already prophesied in the sign of the last days. And in this world, relativism is highly accepted.

    Listen, I'm a Christian. But when I heard that iconic Christian music melody, even I said "Oh...Shoot" I believe there are right and wrong places to sow the seeds of faith. In a video speaking on cultural relativism, suddenly switching to the Christian agenda is somewhat ironic. Don't get me wrong, I'm overjoyed that you're using your platform to spread the good news. But in an instant you go from speaking about "Complete cultural neutrality" to "Here's why we as Christians are right." To non-believers, this video just looks foolish. To put it frankly, you've sown your seeds in shallow soil.

Also, those making the judgments come from cultures that used to engage in barbaric cultural practices, thus have evolved out of them.

    comparing killing human with fireworks is unjust, comparing the bloodshed in Ukraine with the Palestinians' bloodshed would be better and precise example. Apart from that, mentioning a terrorist group of people who are paid and trained on the money paid by united states with the specification of the term "radical Islam" which actually is a term coined by American propagandists, is again a wrong step. Based on the examples, i believe that this video is for propaganda and not for knowledge. As a Muslim I would say that this video is totally propaganda.

    Cultural relativism seems right to me at the surface, but once you get deeper into the practices of other cultures, I can't say that something is right when it is incredibly wrong in my culture, so I can't defend cultural relativism. For example, in America, human rights are argued to be given at birth or conception, which means that a baby/fetus has the right to live and it would be illegal to take that life away (the timing of that varies from state to state), but in other cultures where infanticide is normalized, human rights would be applied in different ways. Maybe a culture that practices infanticide can believe that human rights are something collected over time, so a baby does not have as many compared to an adult, which then allows that adult to exercise their power and kill that baby. Or maybe that culture says that human rights should be applied in ways that ensure the prosperity of the culture, so getting rid of extra mouths to feed, or the sick is the right thing to do so that the healthy live on and resources don't become scarce. And as a cultural relativist says, we can't judge those cultures for applying their rights in that way and having those morals. At the surface, cultural relativism seems agreeable, a culture (like America's) believes and enforces that children must get an education, that's okay, and when someone from another cultures says their culture believes that education is secondary, that's also okay. Or when a culture values a certain animal and sees it as a religious symbol, that's okay and vice versa when a culture eats that meat on a regular basis, that's still okay. But as you start to evaluate cultures more and more, and learn about practices that are normalized and defended that go against everything your culture says on the deepest level, cultural relativism loses its appeal.
    Though I understand the point of cultural relativism, I can't get behind it because in my culture, killing a living, breathing, birthed baby is wrong as it is murder of the most innocent humans. Cultural differences are beautiful, yes, but when it comes down to cultural practices that promote selling girls to be married to older men, killing infants, valuing a man's life over a woman's, forcing gender roles onto boys and girls, etc... That is where I stop agreeing with cultural relativism as those practices are harming innocent people and, from my view (which I know is influenced by the morals of my culture, and me using that to deny another culture's morals goes directly against cultural relativism) making victims out of those innocent people.
    Great video! It was really educational and it was also interesting to see religion being tied in at the end to further elaborate on cultural relativism, though I wish there was more up to date information on certain religious beliefs!:)

    I do not consider "all cultures to be of equal value", I consider my own culture (Western culture and values) to be superior in most respects. However I do not believe in actively interfering in development of other cultures, trying to get them to adopt features of my own culture. If they like features of my own culture, that's great, they are welcome to learn about them and copy them to the extent they see fit. But I am opposed to trying to force my own culture upon others, or even use certain kinds of peaceful influence.
    All societies are on some kind of historical track of development, and some societies are lagging behind others, or might be on a different track altogether - and that is perfectly fine with me. I am happy to live in a culture that I consider superior - and if others like it as well, they are welcome to copy it.
    Unless some society (like religious terrorists) poses an active threat to my society - then it becomes an issue of self-defense, and no longer of cultural differences!

      @@Moneefinallyfamous I don't know. "Ethnocentric" has a negative connotation associated with it, for example aggressively promoting your own culture over others. I do not support promoting anything, by force or other types of influence. I'm simply happy that my own culture is quite good compared to other cultures I've encountered. It translates only to my own personal choices - for example if I considered moving to foreign country for work or retirement, I'd probably strongly prefer another Western-culture based society. It is a personal preference, and not a desire to oppress anyone. I don't see anything negative about it. We should be allowed to have personal preferences - where we choose to live, how we choose to dress, what food we choose to eat, what music to listen to, etc. etc.
