There resulted a belief in cultural relativism; the belief that one had to understand an individual's actions in terms of his or her culture; that one had to understand a specific cultural artifact (a ritual, for example) in terms of the larger symbolic system of which it forms a part.
The word culture, from the Latin root colere (to inhabit, to cultivate, or to honor), generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activity significance.

 TAP: Vol 10, Iss. 43. Lynne Cheney, Policy Assassin. Jonathan Chait.

Her point is always the same: This or that nook of the culture has been conquered by fuzzy-minded, left-wing cultural relativists.

It was the condition of his own country which begot in him, more than twenty years since, the first doubts of the infallibility of that theory; it was the condition of his country which, since that time, determined him to develop, first in anonymous articles, then in more elaborate treatises, not anonymous, contrary opinions.

 FrontPage magazine.com :: Bush and I Were Lieutenants by Col. William Campenni
