Advantages
1. A Respect For Other Cultures
The biggest benefit that can be brought from the idea of cultural relativism is the universal respect for different cultures and countries around the world. The belief that one person knows what is right, and that is the only way it is, isolates and discriminates against people who believe differently.
2. Excusable Actions
With cultural relativism, nearly any action that is made can be passed off as a cultural difference. While this may seem like a con, there are certainly pros to it. There is an overwhelming amount of ideals in this world, and with social and other types of media, even the smallest action is made into a worldwide spectacle and debate. Understanding cultural relativism will help to alleviate much of this unnecessary debate.
3. Preserves Cultures
Many times, culturally traditional things begin to shift and change in order to appease the world view of said culture. With cultural relativism, these traditions can stay in place. Tradition, of course, is the root of many cultures.
Disadvantages
1. Some Actions Are Not Excusable
Many cultures use the theory as an excuse of appalling actions. Things such as extreme violence, crimes against children, domestic abuse, and many other things are overlooked and passed off as “culturally acceptable”, when in reality, they are not.
2. No Judgment Is Still A Judgment
By saying that no moral judgment can be passed on any culture is truly a bias in itself. People begin to feel hostile because even if they deeply disagree with a cultural practice, there is seemingly nothing that they can do about it.
3. Good and Bad Is A Strange Concept
Determining what is deemed good and what is bad is an impossible thing. Each individual person, and not culture, has a different opinion on that. There is no one person who can deem morals to be correct or wrong. This is easily the biggest and most argued flaw with the idea of cultural relativism.
