put into a comparative framework
Explanation:
I'm totally reaching here! We have the term relativism but I can't see how that could be put into a verb...

Tendo como referência a prática de relativizar a realidade social, pode-se dar ao aluno a possibilidade de transpor uma postura etnocêntrica (produtora de preconceitos e de discriminações).

disagree  veratek: I think this creates a problem because it's not the "opposition" you put into a comparative framework, thus this phrasing becomes meaningless in my understanding//"put in context" seria contextualizar ou referenciar em português- nao creio que eh igual
