The idea of Universal culture is something that I spend a lot of time thinking about. Cultural values should capture the essence of what makes people civilized, while also passing on the teachings of older generations to prepare younger generations for more localized navigation on the ground day to day. Cultures can be graded against an objective foundation and whether or not people find it tolerable, we can be critical of the consequential outcomes of some perpetuated cultural norms. In an effort to put down relativism and the rush to defend destructive cultural norms under relativistic banners I’d like you to entertain the idea, at a minimum, that evaluation of the consequences of cultural norms within a historical context can give us a solid foundation to be critical of any culture around the world regardless of what culture we are from. It is not a matter of fairness, but objective judgement based on universality and inclusivity as the foundation for human civilization.

Relativism is the idea that truth and morality are relative to individuals or cultures and there are no absolute or objective standards. I examine the different types of relativism, including cultural relativism, moral relativism, and epistemological relativism, and explain how they shape our understanding of reality. Using real-life examples and thought experiments, I explore the implications of relativism on our personal and social lives. I discuss the challenges of reconciling conflicting cultural values and the potential dangers of moral relativism. I also examine the criticisms of relativism and the arguments for objectivity in morality and knowledge.
