to Rachels “The Challenge of Cultural Relativism” Different cultures have different conceptions of right and wrong. The Eskimos, for instance, commit infanticide often, leaving their babies to die in the snow. Although we uphold the same value of caring for our offspring, an Eskimo family may be unable to care for their child and select death as their final option. In our culture this is viewed as horrific, but to the Eskimos, it is a part of life (Rachels 35). Cultural relativism says that to…

punishment was widely used and accepted but now there are different bureaucracies to prevent acts of similar kind in order to protect children. This may have changed for the United States but is not consistent across the globe. In fact there are studies done on such actions and one in particular from the Compassion Society is that “every 10 minutes, somewhere in the world, an adolescent girl dies as a result of violence.” This cannot be ignored and clearly stands against the objection because…

“But when it comes to human beings, the only type of cause that matters is final cause, the purpose. What a person had in mind. Once you understand what people really want, you can't hate them anymore. You can fear them, but you can't hate them, because you can always find the same desires in your own heart” (271). In Orson Scott Card’s, Speaker for the Dead, we are met yet again with Ender Wiggin, on a foreign planet, with foreign people, a new foreign alien species, and one he has carried with…

The majority of United States…

from the western culture of America to the Inuit culture of Siberia. Cultural Relativism argues that every culture, no matter how different, is entitled to their own beliefs and other cultures do not have the right to take offense to another culture’s beliefs. This means that morals that may seem correct in one culture may be considered morally wrong by another culture. An argument against cultural relativism would be that if Cultural Relativism were considered to be fact societies could not…

The objectivity of moral values has been questioned greatly through out time. So, do objective morals and values really exist? Or are we so enamored with the idea that there is a standard universal code to follow for guidance. In his piece “The Subjectivity of Values” J.L Mackie states that, “There are no objective values.”(Landau175) The moral subjectivists uphold the idea that moral claims are only true, if they are objectively true. But what makes these true? Consequently what establishes…

According to the textbook, it mentions, “The four generations identified in today’s workforce are the Silent Generation, Baby boomers, Generation X and lastly Generation Y” (Chapter 1, pg.14). The textbook also states how, “Baby boomers which is the largest generation had to become extremely competitive to find jobs and promotions and how many became workaholics while spending less time with their families to keep their jobs or to obtain greater pay or promotions” (Chapter, pg. 14-15).…

Is civilization an effective organizational tool for studying history? Civilization is great at describing many cases throughout more recent history. However, due to the limited concrete information we have on early societies and peoples the term "civilization" is constantly changing and evolving and therefore inadequate to describe earlier civilizations. The definition of a civilization most basically is "the stage of human social development and organization that is considered most advanced."…
