Introduction

Cultural relativism is a concept that is used by sociologists to explain the phenomena in which a belief, idea, practice, etc is understood in the context of a specific culture. This concept was put forth by Franz Boas. This term is the opposite of ethnocentrism. Ethnocentrism refers to the phenomenon in which one judges another culture based on one's own culture and it results in biases towards blacks, certain ethnic groups etc, and cultural relativism is a solution to it.
