Relativism. Cultural Anthropology gives three
distinct meanings of cultural relativism a moral
stance that requires anthropologists to suspend
moral and ethical judgments when interacting with
a culture different from their own, a
methodological strategy that allows the
anthropologist to pay specific attention to the
uniqueness of a culture, and an epistemological
position that cultures are unique and therefore
knowledge about different cultures is almost
inherently not comparable. (Sec. 1.3). In your

g Business with Family. Nowak and Laird's
Applying Anthropology 6.2 box, in Cultural

such close-knit economic exchanges as a way of
preventing conflict. In fact, in an interesting
