cultural relativism and religious practices
Cultural relativism refers to the belief that different cultures have their own individual values, customs, and beliefs, which should be understood and judged based on their cultural context rather than applying universal standards. In the context of religious practices, cultural relativism acknowledges that religious beliefs and rituals vary across cultures and should be respected and interpreted within their cultural framework, rather than imposing one's own religious perspectives as the ultimate standard of truth and morality.
