Relativism

According to my "Principles of social research" book... I'm relativist in my way of thinking, viewing society and science... Relativism in its extreme form assumes that reality changes and is constructed differently in different times and places. The less strong versions of relativism, assume that other perspectives on reality are worth studying to aid our understanding of people's health beliefs and behaviour. (is there any other way to see a world that is constantly changing, and where diversity rules??) What I really believe is that only when one is flexible and susceptible to change, will one learn and improve one's skills and understanding of society. Being strict implies not being able to adapt, which will imply death, because if you do remember, and according to Darwin: "Usually is not the stronger that easily survives, only those who can adapt will survive and pass their genes to the next generation" :o)
