Question 2

What is cultural relativism? Describe the two values that Kale argues transcend all cultures.

Accepted Answer

Cultural relativism is the idea that a person's beliefs, values, and practices should be understood based on that person's own culture, rather than be judged against the criteria of another culture. It suggests that there is no universal standard for what is right or wrong, and that different cultures have their own unique moral codes and ways of life that should be respected.

According to Kale, there are two values that transcend all cultures: the value of truth and the value of love. These values are seen as universal because they are essential for the functioning and well-being of all societies. Truth allows for clear communication and understanding, while love fosters compassion, empathy, and cooperation. These values are considered to be fundamental to human existence and are found in some form in every culture, making them transcultural in nature.
