Blog Prompt 3

The differences of relativism include that ethical relativism is an action that is right if it is approved by their culture and it is wrong if disprove by them. The difference would be that cultural relativism is morally and this is more like acceptance. Not everyone could agree on it, but also any individual could be bias on what they have against another culture because they don’t understand or actually morally accept what they have within cultures. This is a way of difference because they can’t agree on it and if they don’t agree with the action or thought the result would go straight to saying it’s wrong. An example of this was with the text of female genitalia when it’s discovery on it was demonstrated with the western side not being so common with this while in the African culture it was a different story and was a normal thing for them making it acceptable. These methods in my opinion allow cross cultural judgement because it doesn’t rely on someone’s approval of a moral but of someone feelings. The culture here shows the judgments when it’s not what occasional occurs in their own culture. For many cultures i don’t have a say but at least for the Hispanic culture when a child misbehaves it would result in a spanking. This for many groups of cultures would seem for child abuse but that has a big reason to it because the kid is being hit for unreasonable behavior. But although feelings do have a lot to do with any scenario it makes it difficult to realize if it’s actually difficult to realize their actual moral values of their culture. Culture is being used to be studied in a bias perspective to notice whether how people judge certain actions from or to another culture that doesn’t adapt to them. According to people’s cultural values logical reasoning within the culture is used to distinguish whether or not something results in being immoral. Page 61 in the text does explain this which then flows through a moral acceptance to finally get to it’s conclusion that moral b is fundamentalist immoral if it’s reflected on what culture beliefs. What they say is that if the culture values maternal-fetal health then how is it ok to promote something that is known to cause perinatal and neonatal infections or even complications during childbirth. In some cases that seems to be a controversy because the principle goes in and ties off the debate of middle east and how people treat women to assume that it would cause an eye opener for the people. If it’s within your culture you should always have a say or atleast know what is going on. But if the culture is one that you’re not used to the better thing to do is to let others speak with the knowledge they have of their own. Although it was close to the beginning of the article a statement caught my attention and this is what it said, “About 80 million living women had ritual surgery involving removal of parts of their external genitalia, and a additional 4 to 5 million girls undergo it each year” But the reason this caught my attention was because those numbers are huge since if looked upon data women are almost half the population in the world, meaning that half the world is getting surgery that is unacceptable.
