    Uploaded by

    krshasndywyne11
    This document discusses two cultural perspectives - ethnocentrism and cultural relativism - for viewing other cultures. [1] Ethnocentrism is judging other cultures based on one's own cultural standards, while cultural relativism holds that every culture should be understood on its own terms. [2] The document provides examples of cultures that may seem strange through an ethnocentric lens, like cannibalism in Papua New Guinea performed as a sign of respect. [3] It recommends preserving Filipino cultural practices through museums, digital archives, and laws protecting tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
