cultural relativism provide no framework for reconciliation between cultures in conflict.
think about the culture of the palesinians who have been crowded into refugee camps in the gaza strip for more than 60 years. some of these people are completely committed to an armed struggle against israel. meanwhile, some people in israel believe the jewish state ought to be larger and are completely committed to the expansion of settlements into the gaza strip. the values of each society lead to action that harm the other, yet cultural relativism says each society's morall guidelines are right. cultural relativism provides no way out no way for the two sides to find common ground
