Lets get married

All of a sudden, I found myself thinking of sociologically when I was talking to my friend about weddings. She was telling me that is some parts of Latin America couples who want to get married have to get married in a court room and at a church for there marriage to be legal. This fact is called Culture Relativism. This is just one of the many facts about different cultures and that we might think its wired but its really not to them.

  1. Perfect example of cultural relativism...then when you bring up the idea of people thinking it's wierd, you can also apply ethnocentrism and a dash of culture shock as well.
