Explanation:

- Option 1: Cultural specificity refers to elements that are unique to a particular culture. However, it doesn't explicitly mean understanding a culture without reference to others.

- Option 2: Cultural pluralism promotes a society where multiple cultures coexist and are respected. It focuses on diversity and tolerance, but doesn't specifically imply judging a culture by its own standards.

- Option 3: Cultural hegemony is about the dominance of one culture over others, usually not related to understanding or judging a culture on its own terms.

- Option 4: Cultural relativism is the principle that you must understand and judge a culture based on its own values and standards, without referencing the values of another.
