Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The absolutist approach to cross-cultural studies holds that there are certain universal values and standards that should be upheld regardless of cultural differences. In regards to abuse against women, this approach would reject any cultural justifications for such abuse and insist that it is always wrong. Choice A reflects the relativist approach, which argues that different cultures have different values and standards and therefore abuse should be judged based on the cultural context. Choices C, D, and E are either victim-blaming or context-dependent and do not reflect an absolutist approach.
