    What is the difference between ethnic relativism and ethnic determinism?

    Question #22463. Asked by alias. (Sep 07 02 7:21 PM)

    		Relativism: any theory holding that criteria of judgment are relative,
    varying with individuals and their environments.

    Determinism: 1. the doctrine that all facts and events exemplify natural laws.
    2. the doctrine that all events, including human choices and
    decisions, have sufficient causes.

    Relativism basically states that your local environment, and the local society
    you live are the determining factors of existence and development and they vary
    from place to place. While Determinism states that there are natural laws that
    govern existence and development and are applicable everywhere and to everyone.
    I'm sure this is an over simplistic Answer.
