Cultural Relativism Speech

Cultural relativism is the view that cultural behaviors and beliefs should be understood and
judged in the context of the culture from which they originate, rather than against a universal
standard. This approach acknowledges that different cultures have different values, beliefs, and
behaviors, which are not necessarily good or evil, but rather simply different. In this interview
series, we will speak with people from many cultures and experiences on themes that are
typically considered controversial or sensitive.
FOR MARRIED COUPLES:
A married couple shared their task division and how it affects their relationship's balance.
Though they communicate, there is still a modest imbalance in paternity tasks due to social
conventions. This reflects and shapes cultural norms surrounding gender roles and expectations.
They engage in normative ethics to ensure their actions align with moral ideals such as justice,
equality, and respect for individual autonomy. This investigation falls within normative ethical
theory, involving analyzing and changing behavior based on existing moral frameworks. We can
identify this as a normative ethics
Normative ethics is concerned with questions about what we should do, and we can see that after
years of living together, they have been assigned norms or responsibilities to lead them in their
daily lives and handle everything together.
How they navigate their roles and obligations can be interpreted as reflecting and developing
cultural norms surrounding gender roles and expectations of how women stay at home and men
work for their families. The couple demonstrates how people manage complex social standards
surrounding gender, work, and family by sharing their personal choices and struggles in
balancing work and family duties.
The conversation may prompt them to consider if they are using ethically sound procedures
when assigning duties based on gender stereotypes, or if there is an opportunity for improvement
in their relationship dynamics to achieve greater equity and justice. Finally, because it includes
analyzing and altering conduct by existing moral frameworks, this investigation falls within
normative ethical theory.
FOR LGBTQ:
The conversation with an LGBTQ couple regarding their support for same-sex marriage
highlights the meta-ethical issues surrounding the nature and justification of moral values,
particularly about marriage equality. The discussion delves into the couple's personal beliefs and
the larger ethical frameworks that shape our collective understanding of morality in society.
The couple argues that legalizing same-sex marriage can promote acceptance of the LGBTQ
community and eradicate discrimination. However, they also acknowledge that the traditional
notion of marriage is centered around procreation. The couple's viewpoints on this matter bring
to light the deeper meta-ethical issues surrounding ethics and morality in society.
FOR GANGES RIVER
The Christian pastor is exhibiting respect for Hindu beliefs by acknowledging and appreciating
the significance of the Ganges river in Hindu spirituality, even if he does not personally agree
with those beliefs. This method emphasizes descriptive ethics because it focuses on explaining
the beliefs and values of others rather than imposing one's moral judgments.
This sort of descriptive ethics allows the pastor to obtain a better understanding of Hinduism's
beliefs and practices, which can lead to greater empathy and respect for individuals who adhere
to them. This strategy also promotes interfaith discussion and collaboration by encouraging
mutual respect and understanding among people from diverse religious backgrounds. Finally,
this interview emphasizes how descriptive ethics can foster greater understanding and tolerance
among individuals of all faiths and cultures.
CONCLUSION:
Our investigation of cultural relativism through interviews with people from various
backgrounds has provided useful insights into the intricacies of human ideas and practices.
Finally, our investigation of cultural relativism has underlined the need for empathy and
understanding in overcoming cultural gaps.
