Cultural relativism

Latest comment: 1 month ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi @JD John M. Turner, what’s your reasoning for removing Others have questioned the universality of the concept of individual human rights to societies that prioritise a communal or collectivist identity.? I agree it’s good to link to cultural relativism, but surely the communal and collectivist identity is WP:Due? See [1], WP:NPOV also applies. I think the new sentence is a little vague and meaningless, and doesn’t summarise the issue well Kowal2701 (talk) 08:53, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
