    1. I can not say a word about other people’s culture because it is far from the culture my society
    has. The best way to deal with that is to just respect each other’s culture.

     some of the cultures of   other countries are far from the culture of my country but some also
    have similarities just as the v sign that has the same meaning to us and also to japan china and
    south korea . another one is using a spoon and fork like other countries

    I cannot say that other people's culture is good and bad because i do not know the origin of their
    cultures , but if it is about the marriage of the eskimos i can say that it is not good for me
    because it is rude when it comes to women that seems to be a lack of respect for women but i
    do respect their culture

     for me some of their cultures i consider right and others wrong because it is contrary to the
    culture of the society and the country in which i live and where i grew up 

      of course for me my culture is the best because my own culture has become part of my life and
    the culture of others is quite contrary to my outlook on life also our culture is known for its good
    behavior and tradition so my culture is the best

      maybe yes or no some countries are happy when other countries adopt their cultures while
    others are also unhappy because they feel like their culture is being stolen also i am contented
    with my own culture

    What i have learned

    The topic was about the importance of cultural relativism in attaining cultural understanding.
    It matters because culture relativism promotes greater appreciation of the cultures that an
    individual might encounter along the way and it is a good way to rehearse the norms and values
    of a society that one must subscribe to regardless of his or her cultural origin.
    I've learned today how cultural relativism is different from ethnocentrism . 

    What i can do
    1.I beg to disagree because i believe that no country can be occupied by terrorists . Maybe the
    terrorist live in  a certain play in by the whole territory of that country we really don't know what's
    going on there because we just rely on the news for information
    2. i beg to disagree because each of our culture is unique from each other . we do not have the
    same climate , topography , language , and history . our culture is based from this factors . so
    really cannot say that one culture is superior from the other.
     
    3.I beg to disagree because this po and opo words are only used by the tagalog people from
    visayas and mindanao don't have this word in their language dialect. 
    4. I beg to disagree because education does not live itself in the four walls in the classroom.
    Mangyan have been very long before the spaniards came in the philippines. they have their own
    reasons why they do not associate themselves in the modern society.
    5. I beg to disagree because these are just  hearsays  true so be the first victims how come the
    area is still populated and  inhabited.
    6.
    I beg to disagree our forefathers of cam long before us and they have been eating this things
    ever since yet they have survived.
    7. I beg to disagree because they are just thrifty maybe because of their environment. kind of
    weather that they have and the topography of their place have   affected They're being thrifty.
