So, in looking at my cultural identity, I am examining both my own labels and what they mean to me and layering on top of that cultural influencers that operate within my life and how the interplay between these layers works. In looking at all of the groups I listed as being important parts of my cultural identity, I think the one aspect of internalized or deep culture seen as an undertone throughout all of them is the theme of independence.

It is valid to say that as cultural relativism is observed, the platform of the theory must be understood- the observation of moral codes- understanding that cultural relativism hypothesised that there is no such thing as universal truths and ethics, and that since there is no widespread standard of morality the practices of another societies customs may not be judged by anyone else.
