Culture is basic way of life for groups of people on this planet. The music, values, morals, materials and customs create culture. The development of culture has come a long way from the caveman days of old. We can know send people to the moon and bring them back in one piece. Every culture has something they share with cultures this is called Cultural Universals.

Countries differ in many ways; from the things they eat, to the way they speak, everyone is distinct. One of the most profound differences may be cultural autonomy. Culture is binding by religion, belief, sets of norms or practices that create diversity. Each nation’s uniqueness make the world what it is. Culture not only unites countries, it unites nations. All nationalities practice select characteristics of different parts of the world. Every country operates and governs by its own laws and beliefs, making them unique in one way or another. Although throughout the world, nations are diverse, many share similarities in culture.…

Dr. Al-Rodhan (2006) also points out: Globalization involves economic integration; the transfer of policies across borders; the transmission of knowledge; cultural stability; the reproduction, relations, and discourses of power. That is to say, globalization, as an unstoppable trend, has affected more than just economies. Among other things it also has an impact on culture, which for instance, musics, arts, languages and even sports.…

I have chosen to write about why cultural universals pose a problem for moral relativism in this paper. I will begin by defining cultural universals (CU). Then, I will cite examples of such theory and continue by applying them to situations in which these similarities can be seen. Next, I will discuss how we can convince ourselves that a given standard of behavior is in fact a cultural universal. I will then define moral relativism as well as provide examples of cultural differences that are often cited in regards of moral relativism. Lastly, I will explain how the existence of cultural universals undermines moral relativism.…
Culture exists in every society. It is the specific learned norms based on attitudes, values and beliefs. Culture is often based on long standing traditions that have been passed from elders to the younger generation. It can be evolved through societal and religious influences. Changing culture, though difficult, can be done through choice or imposition. When cultures are isolated they tend to stabilize and change is slow or ceases. When culture makes contact with other cultures, a type of cultural borrowing takes place and is more prominent when languages are similar. There are different cultures with many different beliefs and opinions which can cause a person or another culture to clash. This problem can results in racism, discrimination, or stereotypes.…
Culture shapes the way we see the world. It therefore has the capacity to bring about the change of attitudes needed to ensure peace and sustainable development which, we know, form the only possible way forward for life on planet Earth. Today, that goal is still a long way off. A global crisis faces humanity at the dawn of the 21st century, marked by increasing poverty in our asymmetrical world, environmental degradation and short-sightedness in policy-making. Culture is a crucial key to solving this crisis.…
Globalisation is the process of international integration through the exchange of views, products and aspects of culture between nations.

The result has been the establishment of a global economy where goods, services, skilled labour and foreign capital are moving faster internationally than ever before. The impacts globalisation can have on an economy have been seen in China over the past 40 years.…
