Step 1

We live in a fast-changing global society that is increasingly bringing people from different cultures together. Depending on people's awareness and respect for other cultural groups, this encounter might be positive or negative. One of the most serious difficulties in the study of social ethics stems from a methodological approach to the social sciences known as cultural relativism. "Cultural relativism is essentially an approach to the topic of the nature and function of values in the culture." Cultural relativism emerged as a result of the recognition of the challenge of identifying genuine cross-cultural norms due to disparities in these notions of reality or moral systems, as well as our knowledge of the mechanics of cultural learning.
