Take A Walk In Your Own Shoes!



When people see something unusual or different, they think it is weird and odd. I want to know if you think that it is okay for people to judge other people's culture. If an underdeveloped country does things out of the norm, are we really supposed to allow ourselves to think less of them? Even if what they do causes pain to their own people for amusement - they have probably been doing it for thousands of years and if we weren't so selfish, and we didn't push everyone to get what we wanted, we might have still been the tribe that acts what we call 'savage-like'. Relativism is the belief that all beliefs are relative and therefore equally valid. Can you really judge someone else without being in their shoes? Even if you spend time with someone else for a while, you are never going to feel how they feel because you were born and raised with a completely different perception of life and the world, you were born with different ethics.
