CEVAP:

There is a “danger” in cultural relativism similar to the one in ethnocentrism. The argument that every culture is meaningful and important in itself is not disturbing without any doubt. So, are all cultures equally valuable? Can all cultures be not evaluated or judged from the outside? Should all cultures be respected equally? For example, if a culture does not respect the right to life of people inside or outside of it, should it be regarded as “valuable in itself ” and respected? Only these questions should have already shown us that while ethnocentrism takes us to one edge, cultural relativism takes us to the other one. All cultures can be valuable, but receiving equal respect can only be possible to the extent that they respect individual rights and freedom, especially the right to life. If a culture says, “The honor of a woman comes before everything else and the woman is killed to clean her honor,” it would be very problematic and inhuman to consider this culture equally valuable as others and to avoid criticizing and judging the culture (or the custom).
