Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. Absolute cultural relativism is the position that people outside of a culture have no grounds on which to criticize its values or beliefs.
2. Critical cultural relativism is the position that beliefs and practices can be questioned by distinguishing between who is helped and who is harmed by those cultural elements.
3. Example: The absolute cultural relativist perspective would claim outsiders should not question the Nazi Holocaust because it was a product of another culture.
4. Example: A critical cultural relativist perspective would describe the Holocaust in terms of whom it harmed, the power structure involved, and the relationship between the cultures.
