• Cultural 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).
