Selective Intra-cultural Relativism
Cultural Relativism is the idea that you should not judge the actions, ideas, and norms of one culture based on the actions, ideas, and norms of another culture. Cultural relativism is crap. I don't care what your culture is but stoning a woman to death for adultery is wrong...whatever the culture. Here in the United States I am starting to see a strange new way of judging one another that I am going to call intra-cultural relativism or the idea that we judge people selectively on their cultural habits based on our habits within the same culture. This is also crap. Not judging someone for doing something stupid because culturally many do the stupid thing and its accepted is a bad idea. We should judge...more often, just base your judgments in sound knowledge.
