Critical Theory
An evaluative approach to social science research, associated with Germany's neo-Marxist “Frankfurt School,” that aims to criticize as well as analyze society, opposing the political orthodoxy of modern communism.
Cultural Relativism
The idea that cultures are value-neutral, rather than various cultures being a better or worse ways of organizing behavior, they are simply different. In anthropology, this idea has been used to make sense out of behaviors and values that seem alien or morally wrong to an outside observer. The concept has been largely debated and has raised concern for the potential for bias by an observer and the possibility of leading to moral relativism.
