The concept of a primitive but evolving legal system implies that international law has roots in ancient customs and practices that have evolved and adapted over time. This understanding is important because it highlights the ongoing development and flexibility of international law to address contemporary global challenges while still being rooted in traditional principles and norms. It also emphasizes the need for international legal systems to continue evolving to reflect changing geopolitical dynamics and societal values.
Social challenges of a primitive society may include lack of established rules or governance structures, limited access to resources leading to conflicts over basic needs, and informal systems of justice that may not always be fair or just. Additionally, social hierarchies based on strength or power could lead to inequality and marginalization of certain groups within the society.
Advanced cultures typically refer to Western society, which originated from European philosophy and science. Primitive is an ethnocentric term originating from western culture. It usually refers to tribal based cultures. Modern societies heavily rely on science and a form of centralized government. Primitive societies place more emphasis on the tribal rituals, family, tradition, and spirituality.
The argument that all cultures are equally valid is known as moral relativism. The main thrust behind moral relativism is that there are no universal truths and that morality is relative the the cultural, social, historical or personal view point of that culture, society, history or person. Moral relativism is one point of view in itself. There are, and were cultures that practiced cannibalism as part of their social structure. These cultures have never developed into any social structure higher than that which we call today as primitive. What is meant by primitive is that this society never built cities or edifices on the same par with the rest of the world. For the most part, most countries in the world have progressed together in terms of art, technology and understanding of the world that surrounds them. Those societies that remain stagnant while the rest of the world progresses towards modernity are known as primitive societies. The moral relativist would argue that this primitivism is no more good or bad than the modern societies. These moral relativists, however, or more often than not, found in modern societies and not in primitive ones.
