Can you explain to me the concept of cultural relativism?

Cultural relativism is the idea that the values, beliefs, and practices of a culture should be understood in terms of that culture's own conventions, rather than being judged in comparison to the values and beliefs of another. An example of cultural relativism is the idea that behaviors and beliefs that may not be accepted in one culture could be acceptable in another culture. This concept helps to create an atmosphere of understanding, compassion, and acceptance when it comes to cross-cultural conversations.
