Cultural Context
The concept of cultural context in this service stems from a deeper philosophical understanding of cultures through the lens of "Cultural Relativism." Cultural relativism posits that all beliefs, customs, and ethics are relative to the individual within their social context. Hence, what's considered right or wrong varies from one culture to another. This foundational idea has led us to prioritize the integration of cultural context in our experience descriptions.
Cultural context refers to the environment or setting that is socially relevant for individuals of a given culture or ethnic group. In this service, the cultural context is associated with specific experiences in regions and provides an educational layer to enrich the user's experience.
Understanding the cultural context of a region or an experience can significantly enrich your travel experience. It can make the difference between merely consuming an experience and deeply understanding it.
Each experience available in the service comes with an associated "Cultural Context" section. This section provides users with an overview of the historical, social, and possibly even environmental factors that contribute to the experience's uniqueness in a particular region.
For those interested in diving deeper into the subject, the "Cultural Context" section includes links to relevant media sources like articles, podcasts, and videos that explore the topic in more detail.
