From our own ethnocentric perspective, other cultures may appear strange or different. But to an outsider, so does ours. From a cultural relativist perspective, different ways of doing things are simply different.
Using the concept of cultural relativism as a foundation, consider the following. What are aspects of your culture that you can identify in the context of what we are reading this week?

This assignment will be two pages in length (not including your cultural example), follow APA standards, and will include a link to a video, image, or another form of media that represents your cultural identity. For examples of cultural identity, see page 49 in the textbook for additional guidance
