Final Research Paper

> In the Final Research Paper, you will examine your own culture from an etic
> (outsider’s) perspective and another culture from an emic (insider’s)
> perspective to demonstrate your understanding of cultural relativism and
> examine misconceptions and ethnocentric beliefs concerning each of these
> cultures. In doing so, you will demonstrate a culturally relativistic
> perspective, in order to understand why different groups of people do what
> they do, without expressing a positive or negative opinion of their
> cultural practices. Keep the distinction between cultural relativism and
> moral relativism in mind as you write your final paper. Even if you do not
> personally agree with a cultural practice, demonstrate your understanding
> of the practice in its cultural context. Avoid opinionated or judgmental
> language in your paper.
>
> Your Final Research Paper will consist of two main parts, framed by an
> Introduction and a Conclusion. See the flow chart

> Cultural relativism
>
> *Cultural relativism*is the idea that the beliefs and practices of a
> culture should be understood within the context of that particular
> culture’s background, history, and current events surrounding it. We should
> not ethnocentrically impose our own beliefs and opinions, which are
> products of our own enculturation
>
> *Cultural relativism* is not the same as moral relativism, however. As
> Crapo (2013) notes:
>
> “We need not, for instance, come to value infanticide in order to
> understand the roles it may play in peoples’ lives in a society where it is
> customary. What cultural relativism requires of us is simply that we do not
> confuse our own feelings about such a custom with understanding it. To do
> the latter, we must investigate the meanings the custom has for those who
> practice it and the functions it may fulfill in their society.”(section
> 1.4, “Cultural Differences: Cultural Relativism,” para. 3)
