Relativism
The globalization era with its news, network and corporations seized the whole world. The international conflicts between the nations still take place and cover the whole planet. Cultural relativism has an issue to move the moral question to the first place, to develop moral stages and avoid cross-cultural problems. We should live in harmony with nature and with the whole world, and does not matter of what origin you are and how your culture is characterized.
Relativism calls on to perceive the nature and its inhabitants as neighbors; if it goes about the animals people should try not only to respect but also to protect them from dangerous influence of the environment. Shamans or medicine men live in a complete harmony with the nature and make the things we cannot explain. Maybe it is a miracle of something else; or nature helps them in their important activity. We got used to the fact that our medicine is on advanced level and people are afraid of different experiments, they ignore natural medicine, but very often they can really help. One should never reject new methods of treatment if he does not know anything about them. Just try to learn more and it can really help in your future experience.
Relativism gives a special place to cultural conflicts describing them as global problems of all humane beings. Cultural conflict is the first step to culture shock which is considered to be one of the most potentially dangerous disorders. Our life is the process of judgment; we always try to evaluate somebody’s actions or words, but globally it means that we are constantly judging other cultures and nationalities comparing them with our own, making some conclusions about the nation of this culture. This phenomenon is called ethnocentrism, and we always meet this process in our life. Every nation has its standards and rules, taking into account this fact we try to evaluate unfamiliar cultures viewing them through our principles we got used to.
Cultural conflicts are the most important reasons for a culture shock which leads to serious consequences for the person who abandoned his native country. The scientists consider the process of the culture shock to be a dangerous disease which needs to be recovered as soon as possible. But the most effective medicine against it is awareness of the reasons of this so-called disease. One should always try to fight down this feeling of being in a strange atmosphere. Sometimes strong-willingness of the character can help to overcome this problem and one would reach the stage of full recovery. But getting used to a foreign atmosphere one returns home and perceives his native places with eyes of a stranger. Everything seems to be different for him than before; this phase of disorientation and complete disorder is called the reverse culture shock and it always brings strong emotional burst of inner imbalance and inconvenience.
To conclude I can say that every person should follow some pieces of advice not to have an attack of a culture shock. A person should find out why he perceives people of another nations as strangers, he should not avoid them and maybe communication would result in soon recovery. National friendship is a great power of civilization; it is a harmony not only between people of the whole planet but also between people and animals; it is a hope for a humane prosperity and constant piece on the Earth.
