Event today we can visited Teotihuacan ('the place where the gods were created'), and appreciate the size and the beauty of the temple of Quetzalcoatl and the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon. The Aztecs were one of the most powerful cultures in the American continent at the time. As a Mexican, I’m proud of my culture and my ancestor’s heritage. I remember my study books for my primary school with lots of images of Aztec’s warriors and color pictures of different gods.

Analyzing and judging a culture based on one’s local attitude and knowledge will express only the person’s perception and it may also be highly influenced by the person’s own cultural knowledge. To understand a culture holistically, it is important to analyze and understand within its own perspective. Thus, the knowledge of cultural relativism is an important tool that this course has provided. Prior to this class, I used to judge all cultures I have encountered based on my own native culture which sometimes was contradictory and assumed the other cultures were wrong.
