  1. Cultural relativism:  Honestly not being all that bothered by cannibalism, so long as the "meal" died of natural cause.  Or just accepting that other places have different standards and not judging them by yours.

    I'm not sure what holism is, though.  It's been a while since I took anthro.


  2. Holism is a way of looking at the big picture, the whole of humanity and what it means to be human.  It stresses the things that all humans share.  For example the songs and dances of people all over the world.

    Cultural relativism is looking at a culture from the point of view of a member of that culture.  This includes learning to think in the concepts of that culture, not just observe the behavior or study the language of the culture.
