Cultural Relativism

Explanation:

The idea behind the word "Cultural Relativism" is based on the facts that the practices, beliefs or values of an individual should be viewed on the bases of that individual's own culture, rather than be seen against the perspectives of others.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do shows that anywhere we find ourselves, we should try as much as possible to behave, see and do things, make decision based on the cultural beliefs, values and practices of that place and not use the practices in other places to criticize or judge that person or people.

Ethical decision-making in cultural relativism is simply the process of evaluation and choosing among different alternatives in a way that is consistent with ethical principles associated with one's culture.
