  1. Cultural relativism can, and should, be practiced in every facet of one's life. It simply refers to withholding judgment until all the facts are understood, and refraining from ranking based on one's own experiences. Applying this method when reading about current events or trying to understand world issues, can help keep in check those emotional gut reactions we might have that can obscure our ability to understand an issue.


  2. How about "Sabbath settings" on machines in religious neighborhoods?  In the LA area, there is a hospital in a Jewish neighborhood that is set up for automatic operation on the Jewish sabbath (generally, Saturday).

    Evidently observant Jews are not allowed to work any machines (they can't even press elevator buttons), so the elevators are programmed to stop and open the doors on each floor.  Makes for a long elevator ride if you are going up several floors...

  3. The transformation of cultural relativism as a heuristic tool into the doctrine of moral relativism occurred in the context of the work of the Commission of Human Rights of the United Nations in preparing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    but how that works?
