Answer:

This is known as cultural relativism

Step-by-step explanation:

Cultures vary broadly in their values with no clear way to fix the distinction. Cultural relativism refers to the ability to understand that a person's beliefs, values, and practices should be understood based on its own terms and not to make judgments using the standards of one's own culture. The aim of cultural relativism is to promote understanding of cultural practices that are not typically part of one's own culture.
