Cultural relativism is the principle that an individual human's beliefs and activities should be interpreted in terms of his or her own culture. Moreover, this is an issue that we still face now in days due to the differences among societies. Achebe, who wrote Things Fall Apart proves to us that relativism affects everyone, leading to confrontation and disgrace among societies. Throughout the novel of Things Fall Apart we learn on how cultural relativism affects early Africans societies. Achebe proves to us that relativism affects everyone, and it only leads to disagreement and disgrace. These is reflected when the Africans look down on the outcast, and the whites look down on the Africans.
