~. ~: . . ,I" Brian O'Rourke International Week took Editor in Chief Widener University by storm this week, and it boasted various interesting activities"and films for the stu­ dents to learn from and enjoy. Don 't get me wrong--I think other cultures are extremely interesting, but I do not believe in cultural relativism. Relativism is the philosophy that states all things are relative (to their situation), and that there are no absolutes in ethics or anything. Cultural relativism is an ethical standpoint that claims no culture is right or wrong in what it does--there are no standards for measuring a soci­ ety; each society is equally valid; .there is no right and wrong. In other words, we have our way, they have their way, and neither one of us is right or wrong. TI1ere are two slants to cultural relativism: there are no absolute standards (underlying principles that are right or wrong); or there are absolute standards each society believes in , but they express these standards differently. Are you following any of this? Relativism is a philosophical system that starts with the premise "there are no absolutes." This statement is a co nundrum. Relativism claims there are no absolutes, by making an absolute statement. So how do they reconcile " . ~\¥J'fi ~ ~ ~\N.. ONO\Om 'fi~S m 00 Glom WN . ~1'~J. SHQW ···'to!)
