I think, it's even important to do this within the family unit. My husband doesn't want our daughter to wear makeup (mascara) because of how men think of women. And I said if he was going to have this conversation with her, he better damn well have the conversation with our son. Culture within culture.
The audio is annoying. Don't know if it's the accent or your mic.
Have my final and no time to wait, eating my lunch and watching this video
Arent there more than two options? Maybe this lesson comes from a dualistic worldview. No kidding cultural relativism breaks down when it is used to justifying human rights abuses.
If you fry anything and drown it in sauce anything tastes good. It's so easy to poke holes in this.
I think cultural relativism is a large part of the reason for anti intellectualism.
Is it possible for one to be both ethnocentric and a cultural relativist? My college professor is basing it off of the example: Suppose you are a soilder deployed to a foreign land and you observe traditions and practices like, enslavement of a minority population, sexual explortation of children, or other similar practices.
At 3 mins – "cultural relativism can somewhat falter when someone uses it to violate the rights and dignities of human beings, no matter the culture" this is just plain wrong. He already said that there is no absolute right and wrong under CR so what rights and dignities is he talking about?
I don't understand your accent, too strong!!!!!!
easy-to-understand explanation . thank you !
It's better than gynocentrism
This video makes Philosophy 101-level errors.
We can see the extremism and the whole notion of feeling threatened by out-groups on the news and on social media: in fact, that is what the Donald appealed to in his Presidential campaign. We see this in the persecution complex of the Religious Right.
How can you see why your friend would like eating insects if you think they are disgusting…This is ridiculous. Why not just be honest with yourself and your friend and say "no thank you" but thanks for offering it. There's nothing wrong with thinking something about another culture is gross as long as you don't think that they are lesser people for being different. Mind gymnastics is fake and not necessary. Sorry but eating a bug is gross "to me" and I'm fine feeling that way.
This was really helpful! Thank you!
Universal human rights (pretty much a western concept) can seem ethnocentric, at this moment in time people are hyper sensitive to difference in anything other than western culture. Both sides ethnocentricity and relativistic are in danger of not striving for universal but ethnocentrism can be entirely right about ideal universals, whereas relativism is stagnant and an ethic predisposed to the bigotry of absolutely no expectations. Instead of using a bowl of insects try putting honour killing in place and see how it all works out.
editing out all the constant 3-4 second pauses would do wonders
