It depends, I belive we should include aspects of both ideas to ensure we can understand cultural perspectaive and have an idea of baseline standards. It is unfair to asume every culture has the same standards but it is also imposible to compare cultures if there isn't any univeral stnadards.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this because it would be more fair for everyone and no one would be judged for their lifestyle or even how they do things that other places would deem horrible.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should be a bit more relativist. If we thought more universalist, I feel like other countries cultures would be ignored. Other countries have different culture traditions but I don't feel like it's anyone's place but the people in those counties to change those traditions. Each country's culture should be left alone and only altered if those in it wish to change it. Although I do believe that there should be universal basic human rights.

# data[].attributes.body
I can see both sides of the argument, at the end of the day i feel like both sides have valid points. Not everyone should do as one culture says, but then i feel like we are progressing so there should be change. Like abortion, in some countries its allowed and considered healthcare while in other countries it would be considered a crime. At the end of the say I think anyone should practice or think what they want as long as its not harming anyone else. Not everyone will agree to what you think and that's fine. If I had to pick one, i would lead more towards relativism.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we should rely mostly on universalism, obviously we cannot expect every culture to view everything and act the same; however, no one should go without rights due to trivial things like their gender, race, sexual identity, ability, etc. While we cannot force all cultures to be the same, we should also expect all humans to be treated as such, humans.

We should let people have their own cultures, but if that culture includes unfounded hate and oppression then it is not a good culture.

# data[].attributes.body
personally i feel that we should be more relativist because i believe that there is nothing wrong with having your own beliefs, someone should not be penalized for having their own beliefs in what they want to do with their own life. like the article said, "there is no right or wrong"

# data[].attributes.body
I for sure see both sides of the arguments , I think that everyone should follow their own culture and beliefs as long as their not pushing it on anyone else especially when it comes to basic human rights , but if I had to choose a side I would choose relativism because at the end of the day no one should be able to change others culture unless they themselves choose to change.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Relativism is correct because each culture has reasons for doing things. Even if we see it as barbaric or mundane. Reasons are reasons.We all have a reason for doing something so they have a reason for why they have certain traditions and why their culture is even alive today.Let the cultures be I say. If they see something wrong with their culture let them see it and fix it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we should be more in the middle.
I think being universalist can be helpful in making more people aware of the world and modernize peoples perspectives.
At the same time i think we should be relativist to a certain extent, because why does a person with no culture background get to judge whats right or wrong, there is things that to a certain extent we should all know is wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
i can understand both sides of the debate, and i believe both sides have some significant arguments. Not everyone should be able to pick a certain culture's rules, but since i believe that progress is being made, change should occur. Similar to abortion, which is permitted in certain countries and seen as healthcare while being illegal in others. If i had to  pick a side i am more to the relativism side.

# data[].attributes.body
Relativist Because everyone is entitled to their own opinion they and to believe what they want as long as they are not hurting others in the process and should be able to do what they please as long as they do not force what they believe on others.

# data[].attributes.body
Relativism is my option because many people worldwide have there own culture and it doesn't mean they have to stop for others opinion. Some may not see themselves doing what they do but it doesn't mean you can disrespect there culture and there ways. also people can cherish and be happy with there own culture and not have to be in a culture that they don"t know what there supposed to be doing.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe we should be more relativist because if we were universalism we would be ignoring peoples beliefs and individual countries beliefs. Being relativist means countries will be able to be their true selfs without getting treated differently based on just what they believe.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe there should be universal standards of human rights and what is classified as criminal behavior with sensitivity to existing cultural practices. Both universalism and relativism have their respective appropriate applications.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it should be more relativism. I believe this because everyone should be able to celebrate their culture whichever way they want. Just because other people might find it strange doesn't mean that we have to limit their culture.

# data[].attributes.body
I understand both sides arguments, but I believe we should be more universalist. Having your own culture and following that cultures beliefs and traditions is very special and important, but I believe having human rights and being able to express yourself without fear is much more important.

# data[].attributes.body
I think relativism is my option, because universalism seems like a thing where an utopia might have, because everyone would believe in one thing and nobody would have different opinions and with relativism there would be a lot of opinions but there would be a lot of protest with different opinions, but everyone would have there fair share and believe in what they want

# data[].attributes.body
I think more relativist because every culture has its own thing for a reason. If we were all universalist we would all be the same and what point is in that. I think being relativists makes us who we are and our what our cultures represent. I have nothing against universalist but we shouldn't all be the same. We come from different origins for a reason, we were born in different places for a reason.

Should we be More Universalist or Relativist? Explain.

Should we be More Universalist or Relativist? Explain. 

# data[].attributes.body
We should be more relativist because that way we can respect other peoples cultures and traditions. This can bring a nice peaceful atmosphere between cultures and also societies can live in harmony. Being universalist feels more like we are being forced to follow the government's rules.  This would impact the freedom we would have and cannot live in peace.

# data[].attributes.body
I'd rather prefer to be relativists but Universalism is still good for some countries and for their Coulter. I'd prefer that because it gives you more freedom and it won't put you under harsh rules to follow.  also you can celebrate your own tradition without being told anything about how you're supposed to celebrate.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should be more relativism because even if we see what other cultures do as weird, we still shouldn't set standards to make it seem like the other cultures are out of place. Even though some cultures practices are unethical we should still be able to tolerate and accept what they do. just because they come to an area with different social expectations they shouldnt need to change their whole lifestyle just to fin into those standards

# data[].attributes.body
Relativists should be more informed towards all of us but i see both ways. There's nothing wrong having your beliefs but unless you dont abuse it

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should relativist because we should see cultures and beliefs as a good thing rather than a threat or bad thing

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that being universalist would be a more controlling system and would cause a lot of conflict for certain things, this leads me to also think more relativist because I believe everyone is entitled to their own thoughts and beliefs and should be able to practice these beliefs as long as it not harming or causing trauma to others.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that both sides have amazing pros, but I believe that we should be more relativist, because we all have our own beliefs that could or could not tie into our cultures, and to try and put a cap on it all and adjust it to all have the same guidelines would be stupid.

Although as humans we should all be guaranteed to the same rights, and they should not be based on identity, or appearance.

To me, a culture that treats everyone unequally based on (quoting Apollo) "gender, sexual identity, race, ability, etc.", is a culture that desperately needs to rebuild its self and until then should have laws on it.

# data[].attributes.body
I will choose Relativism then universalism, where they let their own people believe and their own sets of rules. not all believe in the same thing and this will help others share the same rules that they believe in. and that there is a problem the group has to fix. and that people have the right to think about their beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we should be more relativistic since this concept in my opinion is more liberal since they do not have a standard of everything that is good or bad, for which any opinion is varied for each person and their way of thinking

# data[].attributes.body
I think that being universalist would be more useful as a whole but also using relativism is also very helpful because it sets a standard for ourselves and as a society in the short term universalism would be better because we all can be on the same page and understand each other on a different but same level.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that we should be relativist because I believe that there is nothing wrong with having our own beliefs. And also I feel like we should look at certain beliefs through that persons eyes instead of ours. But then also there is pros and cons of both sides.

# data[].attributes.body
Me personally I feel like both sides of the argument. Both sides have understandable arguments because being Universalism is still good and helps for other countries. But Relativist because everyone has there own opinion and they should be able to do what they want but not to the fullest extent.

# data[].attributes.body
I can personally understand both sides. I think it just mostly depends on what some of the practices some cultures practice and if all the participants of the practice consent to said practice. While some universalists may think a certain practice is "weird" or wrong, it may not seem harmful to the people of that culture. Some practices may be extremely sacred to the cultures and having that practice deemed "wrong" from people who are not even part of their culture and don't understand it doesn't seem right in my opinion. But on the other hand, some practices can be very harmful, such as child marriages; a very large portion of people tend to find that practice "disturbing" and "unethical" and many people tend to agree and put in laws to prevent child marriages to take place.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Universalism because we follow what the worldwide guidelines because there for if you do they don't force you to do it i'll be your own chooses.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that we should be more Universalist because then everyone can be more of their own person and become themselves. Coming from someone who follows basic traditions and beliefs. you often feel trapped and not able to express yourself. With this in mind we still shouldn't change someones culture because it can be very valuable to them, but a culture shouldn't take someones basic human rights away.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we should be more relativist mainly because not every person is going to agree to one set of rules or norms. Not everyone will agree with that cultures beliefs but if that person agrees with that culture and their norms they have every right to THAT culture. Now if we had one group and one set of rules not everyone would agree so it’s better to be apart of the cultures beliefs that you believe. Especially when it comes to ones religion they all have their own beliefs. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and have the right to choose the culture they want to be included in. However this shouldn’t affect ones thoughts on that culture because that one’s culture is theirs and not everyone will agree with each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that we can be both a universalist and relativist in certain situations. If we are in a church during a mass, you should be a relativist and follow guidelines based on traditions. If you are taking a driving test you should be a universalist because if you follow individual beliefs, you'll fail the test and not get your license.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe it depends on what a person's thinking is. I do believe it is wrong if we try to force people to be universalist or relativist. Either way we should respect if someone is universalist or relativist even if we don't think that it is right.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Relativism is the correct way because people will do things that others might disagree with but that doesn't mean it's wrong and they should be shamed for it. People should feel comfortable being themselves and not fear doing things they grew up believing their whole lives.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that we should respect others beliefs even if they don't seem ethical. I think we should all be relativists but we shouldn't have to follow the same culture as them. I also believe that unethical practices will eventually abate. We shouldn't force anything on others, even if they are doing callous acts.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe it depends on what an individual’s   thinking is like. I do think it is wrong if we try to force people to be universalist or relativist. Either way we should respect everyone’s opinions and beliefs

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that we can be a universalist If you are taking a driving test you should be a universalist because if you follow individual beliefs, you'll fail the test and not get your license

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should lean more towards universalism because although I support other peoples cultures and beliefs, a lot of the beliefs they may do can get out of hand. For example, some cultures are against gay marriage and rely to death sentences for that. That's not okay, no one should be killed for their beliefs. Therefore, I believe universalism advances equality, dignity and rights.

# data[].attributes.body
Relativism wins me over only because i think any and every culture should stick to what they believe in even if its morally messed up compared to what others think should be the correct way to live. That's what makes us all different and forcing guidelines on a group of people is not the way to go.

# data[].attributes.body
Me personally, I believe that we should have aspects of both universalism and relativism in our mindsets as we should be able to follow the morally correct rules AND also have our own personal opinions and still respect everyone's beliefs. This is a huge thing as we still should respect everyone's beliefs and cultures. :)

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we should be universalist because we can't accept everything. I Think they should be able to follow most things as long as it has boundaries because human sacrifice and incest is crazy.

# data[].attributes.body
Both sides sound very reasonable, but it depends. Hearing that people are sacrificing others blew my mind.  It's the 21st century come on.  Universal is way too different but the same at times. Think of the death penalty. We take people's lives who have done so much wrong in the world. think, "oh we can just choose an innocent or bad person to be sacrificed to make god proud of us". But no that is very wrong.  This world should be more Relative just because people are being sacrificed to please someone we don't know happy. The death penalty is the best way to go because we are getting rid of people who cause society to go into the ground.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should be more culturally relative. I understand the argument that some things are not seen as morally acceptable. In truth how is one supposed to tell someone something is right or wrong, it coherently belongs to the eyes of the beholder. Yes some things suck for other people but that's just how they decided to govern things. The argument is also how some people see things as normal and others not.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that we should be more relativist as a society. I believe it's almost impossible to make everyone conform to a set of standard morals or way of thinking. I also believe that every culture does things its own way and that's how they've always lived, so who are we or anyone to tell them that their way of life is immoral or wrong when they probably think the same thing about us or different cultures. Although other cultures may find a different cultures way of life or traditions as morally wrong, i believe if new laws or change is to happen it should come of the people of the very culture that they are trying to change. It really is nobody else's business in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm kinda stuck in the middle because there are good pros for both, but I think we should be more relativist. The reason why I think this is because everyone has their own beliefs and norms and you just can't say that it's wrong. I also see what why people also agree with universalist.

# data[].attributes.body
I understand both sides of the argument, and I believe both relativism and universalism have some significance. In the sense that you should be able to follow your own culture and beliefs as well as not forcing them upon anyone when it comes to everyday basic human rights. But I do lean more towards relativism because I believe that people should have their own cultures, opinions, and beliefs just as long as they're not hurting or forcing anyone to believe what they believe in.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should be both in my opinion but I'm leading more towards Relativism. Both are helpful, Universalism helps for other countries but Relativism helps everyone have their own opinion and be able to do what they believe in.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that both aspects of universalism and relativism are good. Both sides have their pros and cons but it's not to the point where you can easily rule out one as being 'better' than the other. If I had to choose one, then I would choose relativism. We all have to realize that not everyone is the same, yes we all bleed the same and we all deserve to be equally treated the same but our religions, practices, etc will not always be the same compared to our peers. I feel like nowadays people become ignorant or insensitive when they see someone or something that is different to what they're used to. I don't believe that ethical morals should be the stopping point when it comes to different cultures since I believe that ethical morals are a universal thing and not just up for debate in different cultures.

# data[].attributes.headline
I believe that both sides have good and bad sides. 

# data[].attributes.subject
I believe that both sides have good and bad sides. 

# data[].attributes.body
We should be more universalist. Universalism can solve issues like racism, poverty, unemployment, and sexism. Universalism can install some universal rules to help rid society of bad customs or traditions. It can also stop people from doing immoral things and help bring people to justice for crimes that otherwise would have been overlooked because of their culture/ practices.

# data[].attributes.body
i can personal see both sides effecting me in multiple ways but i would say that i'm in the middle. this is becuase like everything in life both side have a good and a bad. it just depend what you chose.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should be both universal and relative. The reason being is because both sides of the argument have a valid point. Not everyone will have the same culture as others, but shouldn't be judged for it. I believe that with one or other other, being universalists or relativist, it helps people understand and be more aware of there way of living.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally believe both sides of the argument. Because on the relativist side because we all need to respect others opinions and accept that we are all not the same. But on the Universalism it helps with other countries and other places around the world.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion both relativism and universalism both have their flaws and their good things but despite this i believe that we should be more relativist where every culture has their own beliefs and what they believe in and although there are a lot of things we don't agree on its what they believe in and its completely valid.

# data[].attributes.body
Relativist because everyone has their own opinions as long as theirs no harm to others it should not be a issue

# data[].attributes.body
i believe we should be in the middle. i feel like there is no right answer because, yes we need to learn to respect other cultures, but that is in order for all of us to be treated equally, we shouldn't be forced to do something we don want to, but we should also have boundaries in order to respect and understand each other, while having those same opportunities as everyone else. This is why i believe we should all have a little bit of both in account.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion I feel like we should be a little of both, I believe that everyone deserve their own beliefs but also it is okay to share then with other. As long as what you believe in isn't disrespected I think it is okay to share. Also, it is also okay to only believe what you've been believing in just keep in mind that you can't be disrespectful towards others.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion we should be relativists because us as people, have a culture we follow and we all have different opinions. Some people dont agree with others and that's fine as long as we respect each others opinions and decisions which is what's best for all of us. By following our own beliefs that we know and are comfortable with we wont have many conflicts.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe we should be more relativist because I feel like there is nothing wrong with having your own beliefs or opinions. If you believe in something completely different then what someone else believes then that should be okay and you shouldn't feel left out or judged for what you believe.

# data[].attributes.body
i think we should be more universalist i dont think we should let everyone eles guide our decisions unless it ours

# data[].attributes.body
While choosing between being more universalist or relativist, it is more judicious to have an even balance between them. Being universalist will assist everyone into being united because it sets standards as a society, while being relativist will let you express yourself better. Both are equally important but it's just a matter of how and when we use them.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally I would pick universalism because i believe that you should have your own beliefs but there should also be a way to not harm other in those beliefs. Those people should have rights and should be able to chose if they want to do something or not instead of being forced.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like we should be more universalist because each culture has their own beliefs and traditions but to a certain extent they cant sacrifice people or eat people.

# data[].attributes.body
I would pick univeralism because you are able to pretty much be yourself and not get pushed to be the same as others

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should be more relativist because it is so much more inclusive and because we shouldn't judge cultures for a tradition that has been practiced for years. Relativism allows people to celebrate their culture without judgement.

# data[].attributes.body
I think overall that we should find a balance between universalism and relativism, but if I had to choose I would chose to be a little more relativist. The reasons are because if we chose to be more universalist cultures would fade away and in extreme situations it would forcibly detached from their traditions, roots and beliefs that come along them. Also, not to count that no system of beliefs on Earth is "morally right" for the rest of the world to be followed and it would be extremely dangerous and difficult to find a system to follow, because many based on their beliefs will not agree to each other and will do anything to not let their culture die. Also not to mention that complete universalism is impossible. I think that every one should be able to practice their culture and be themselves, because diversity is very beautiful itself.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally feel that we should be more relativist because there is nothing wrong with having your own beliefs. I feel that someone shouldn't be judged or penalized for having their own beliefs or even tried to be changed just to fit in a certain standard.

# data[].attributes.body
Relativist because everyone has their own opinions and beliefs. Everyone might not agree with them but they shouldn't be judged for having different opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we should be cultural relativism.
the reason why I think that it's because every country has its own beliefs and also has its own rights to choose what's right and what's wrong. every country has its own cultural so why not just let them be.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally think there should be a limit for cultures so it can't get to the point that it is dangerous. In a way we should be more relativist in the part that we need to respect other cultures no matter what. For me "universalism" are kind of wrong that they want everything the same it feels creepy and wrong to me.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like we should be kind of in the middle. I can see how people would want everyone to have the same views and beliefs so everyone learns to get along but, some of the traditions cultures have have been going on longer than most people have been alive. The rituals and sacrifices some cultures performs I agree shouldn't be happening because its just wrong but, I believe we should still respect separate cultures and beliefs including race,gender, etc. If everyone had the same opinions and beliefs nobody would be able to learn abou new cultural beliefs. I agreed with the artical when it says "every judgement about right and wrong is a product of society." I agree with this because depending on what you grow up sround and what you belive is what you are gonna comepare to being "right of wrong." I think I lean more towards relativism just because I feel like cultures should be able to have beliefs that are their own and be able to teach other cultures.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say universalist because it wouldn't matter because most people are universalist in a way they don't see themselves universalist when they point out things that people do that may seem racist in a way saying hey that's kind of racist if you're wearing that outfit from another culture but when you ask those who practice that culture, they would say it was meant to be shared around and all. To sum it up, I'm saying people tend to judge culture no matter what to the point that this and that was never meant to be shared or anyone cannot practices it and only meant for those people only but in reality it was meant to be shared regardless of race or gender but that was off topic. It's rather that there are some cultures that seem unfit to modern society that may bound you down you, harm your life, restrictive, and so on. In a way, this helps you learn more about culture itself and other cultures people have in which people can accept or don't accept it.

# data[].attributes.body
Both sides have a point and I think when viewing the world as a whole we can't exclude one or the other. I think there are things that just as a whole we have to say are bad and should stop them. Excluding groups of people, denying rights and killing because it fits your culture are bad. But when viewing cultures down to the small things like what's considered food or a companion that's when stuff gets muddy. People just have different views on everything and saying we have to be either relativist or universalist is constricting ourselves too much. I think, if i had to choose one, we should be more universalist as to hurt the least people as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
I prefer relativism because you have more freedom to do what you like unlike some countries where they cant do that because of there cultures.

# data[].attributes.body
I can see both universalist and relativist because not everyone believe in the same thing. Some people also believe in both so they both have good and bad things.

# data[].attributes.body
Relativist because each culture will be able to define its norms and will have more freedom of culture. This makes it fair to every culture who has their own set of beliefs and makes the world unique. Everyone can have their own opinions without any interference of rules.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should be more relativist because in my opinion I believe everyone can believe what they want to belive in, and people should celebrate their culture how they want. And personally I think relativists is what makes us who we are and gives us little more freedom. Also people should feel comfortable for they are.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should go more towards universalism because a lot of beliefs may or can get out of hand but we should still support everyone having freedom of religion as long as no one is being harmed by the beliefs of people

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should be more relativist because i believe everyone is entitled to have their own opinion in what they believe in and their cultures. Everyone has their own differences and nobody should get judged because of that.

# data[].attributes.body
we should be relativism because there is nothing bad in having your own beliefs and that we shouldn't have to face consequences for what we believe in.....

# data[].attributes.body
I believe in both sides. The reason I somewhat agree with relativists is because we need to respect that we are not the same and everyone does things differently than others. But at the same time universalism to see in other peoples point of view and try to get to an understanding.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe relativists but Universalism is still good for some countries and for their Coulter. because it gives you more freedom and it won't put you under harsh rules to follow.  also you can celebrate your own tradition without being told anything about how your supposed to celebrate.

# data[].attributes.body
I think being more relativist would be beneficial to society. Relativism takes into account the differences in people’s cultures and it would be a bit ignorant to not take that into account by becoming universalists. However, it might be best to find a silver lining between universalism and relativism in order to not disregard anybody’s beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe in being a relativist because there is no "right" or "wrong" way of doing things so we shouldn't punish people for having their own beliefs and morals.
