A set of rules or standards shared by members of a society, which when acted upon by the members produce behaviour that falls within a range of variation the members consider proper and acceptable. If you came into a new cultural situation, you would need to learn the cultural practices of that situation. The fact that culture is shared allows us to understand the actions of others, and lets us know that our actions are either within the norms of acceptance, or not, within our society. But, remember that culture is also shared differentially, for example, between men and women and children. The best example of this is language.
Relativism means how something relates to another and the signifcance of it.
An electronic conference is a meeting that happens on the web, over an extended period of time. Every participant gets a password and can access a website that is specially designed for the conference. The Community and Sustainability Electronic Conference is closed. They ask their questions by posting them on the web. One special quality about an electronic conference is that anyone can answer questions.
