Podcasts about Cultural relativism

Patriarchy and misogyny fuel global conflicts that further increase the oppression of women and girls. But the resistance of women and girls remains steadfast. Sally Armstrong, award-winning war correspondent, author, and human rights activist, joins us to share their stories. Highlights include:  How Sally broke the story about mass rape in the Balkan War in the 1990s that was ignored by male-dominated mainstream media; How patriarchy became established and why women's role in human history has been unrecorded and ignored;  Why cultural relativism can be an enemy of greater justice for girls and women; How misinterpretations of religious doctrine are used as justification for continued oppression of girls and women; How women and girls from Bosnia to Kenya to Afghanistan to Senegal continue to resist the injustice of patriarchy and misogyny in their daily lives.

The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.

Send us a textWhat does it mean to be human? Who counts as a human being and why? Anthropologist Tom Pearson has been asking these questions for a living for a long time, and then his daughter was born and diagnosed with Down syndrome, prompting him to ask the questions all over again in his book An Ordinary Future. Amy Julia and Tom discuss:Normalcy, disability, and the human experienceCultural perceptions of disability and the historical context of eugenics and institutionalization How prenatal testing influences societal views of disabilityInterdependence and its relationship to the human experienceThe ways disability is a source of innovation and community, not just an inevitabilityFREE RESOURCE: 10 Ways to Move Toward a Good Future {especially for families with disability}Guest Bio:Tom Pearson is a cultural anthropologist with wide-ranging interests in the fields of environmental justice and disability studies. He teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, where he also chairs the social science department. His writing has appeared in numerous scholarly journals and other public outlets. The birth of his daughter Michaela and her diagnosis with Down syndrome thrust him into an unfamiliar world of disability and difference. His book An Ordinary Future: Margaret Mead, the Problem of Disability, and a Child Born Different examines this experience in relation to Margaret Mead's path to disability rights activism. It confronts the dominant ideas, disturbing contradictions, and dramatic transformations that have shaped our perspectives on disability over the last century.

The word apartheid gets used in many different contexts to indicate the severity of crimes across the globe. But its use is controversial because the word has a very specific definition in international law. Even more controversial is the concept of expanding the term to include gender.If there is one place on earth where it could be argued that a gender apartheid designation is needed its Afghanistan. Since the US withdrawal from the country, the Taliban have instituted a brutal repression of women. But is it gender apartheid?What would it mean for us to create this designation and assign it to Afghanistan? Does cultural relativism throw a legitimate wrench into this argument or does that take the concept too far?We discuss all these questions on this episode with Mohammad “Musa” Mahmodi, a Research Fellow in Law at the Schell Center for International Human Rights at Yale, Zahra Motamedi, an Associate Research Fellow at Yale, and Karima Bennoune, the Lewis M. Simes Professor of Law at the University of Michigan and author of “Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here”.

   Join the conversation with Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Jeanne Krick, as she brings the weighty world of medical ethics into focus, sharing her journey from Neonatology to being the Army Surgeon General's consultant for Medical Ethics. Our discussion orbits the moral quandaries that surface in military medicine, dissecting the intricate balance between patient autonomy and the rigors of military policy and regulations. Dr. Krick provides a riveting narrative on the daily impact of ethical decision-making and the burgeoning field of bioethics.  Join us for a candid discussion about what it takes to make life-and-death decisions when duty, honor, and humanity intersect.    As we unpack the layers of Dr. Krick's expertise, the fabric of military medical ethics is revealed in its full complexity. The establishment and significance of ethics committees take center stage, as we navigate through complex scenarios where commanders and medical professionals must align on treatment decisions for service members. Dr. Krick's role in shaping policies at a non-deployed level juxtaposes the high-stakes ethical calls required in active war zones, sparking a conversation on the critical need for robust ethical guidelines and training.     The forecast for military medical ethics is a combination of change, challenges, and innovation as we look to the horizon where artificial intelligence and human enhancement technologies promise to redefine the boundaries of healthcare. Dr. Krick's insights on the ethical dimensions of AI in medicine, the military's stance on pandemic responses, and the intricacies of cultural sensitivity within patient confidentiality offer a guide for navigating these uncharted waters. Her perspective underscores the importance of early ethicist involvement in policy-making and the role of shared decision-making in aligning medical actions with patients' values.  For medical professionals, ethicists, or anyone intrigued by the moral challenges of healthcare, this episode is an indispensable look into the courageous work of those who serve in medicine's toughest arenas.   Chapters: (00:00) Exploring Medical Ethics and Consultations (10:21) Military Medical Ethics and Committees (18:23) Ethics in Healthcare and Deployed Settings (30:28) Cultural Differences and Patient Confidentiality (36:19) AI Impact on Medical Ethics (44:54) Medical Ethics and Decision-Making Challenges (50:03) Future of Military Medical Ethics   Chapter Summaries: (00:00) Exploring Medical Ethics and Consultations Dr. Jeanne Krick discusses the impact of her bioethics training and education on her problem-solving approach in military medicine and the evolving horizon of medical ethics. (10:21) Military Medical Ethics and Committees Military medical ethics, diverse committees, and educational opportunities for ethical training within the military healthcare system. (18:23) Ethics in Healthcare and Deployed Settings Patient-centered care, organizational ethics, resource allocation, and treatment of enemy combatants in deployed environments. (30:28) Cultural Differences and Patient Confidentiality Cultural differences in medical ethics, patient autonomy, confidentiality, and military readiness are discussed with real-life scenarios. (36:19) AI Impact on Medical Ethics Ethical considerations in AI healthcare, human enhancement in the military, and balancing autonomy and mission readiness during pandemics. (44:54) Medical Ethics and Decision-Making Challenges Equipping medical students with ethical tools, understanding principles and care, reconciling legal constraints, and debating neonatology. (50:03) Future of Military Medical Ethics Future of medical ethics in military medicine, involving ethicists in policy-making, rapid decision-making in emergencies, and balancing guidance with patient wishes. Take Home Messages: Medical ethics in the military setting require balancing individual autonomy with military protocol, highlighting the unique ethical challenges faced by military medical professionals. The journey from neonatology to a consultant for the Army Surgeon General underscores the importance of interdisciplinary backgrounds and analytical thinking in navigating complex ethical decisions in military medicine. The role of ethics committees in military medical treatment facilities is critical, offering diverse perspectives and aiding in difficult decision-making processes when commanders and medics must align on service member treatment. Ethical training and guidelines are essential for military healthcare providers, particularly in deployed settings where high-pressure situations demand rapid and morally sound decision-making. Cultural sensitivity and confidentiality issues present unique ethical dilemmas in military medicine, necessitating careful consideration of cultural relativism and the intent behind sharing medical information within the command structure. The advent of artificial intelligence and human enhancement technologies in healthcare brings forth new ethical dimensions that require transparency and the involvement of ethicists to ensure moral foundations are integrated. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for robust ethical frameworks in military medicine, particularly regarding vaccinations and individual autonomy versus mission readiness. Early ethicist involvement in policy-making and shared decision-making processes is key to aligning medical actions with patients' values, ensuring that care remains patient-centered even amidst rapid changes in the medical landscape. Medical students, especially those in military programs, must be equipped with a strong ethical toolkit to face the challenges of contemporary and future medical practice, including varying treatment approaches and legal constraints. The future of military medical ethics points towards an increase in formal ethics training and the early incorporation of ethical considerations in policy-making to better prepare for complex situations such as pandemics and large-scale combat operations.   Episode Keywords: Medical Ethics, Military Medicine, Bioethics, Ethical Decision-Making, Patient Autonomy, Military Protocol, Ethics Committees, Artificial Intelligence, Cultural Sensitivity, Patient Confidentiality, Healthcare, Ethics Consultations, Military Healthcare System, Ethical Training, Organizational Ethics, Resource Allocation, Combat Operations, Cultural Relativism, AI Algorithms, Human Enhancement, Informed Consent, Pandemic Response, Vaccinations, Harm Principle, Ethical Toolkit, Ethics of Care, Legal Constraints, Neonatology, Formal Ethics Training, Shared Decision-Making, Emergency Situations, Guidance Hashtags: #wardocs #military #medicine #podcast #MilMed #MedEd #MilitaryMedicalEthics #DrJeanneKrick #BioethicsInUniform #HealthcareOnTheFrontlines #EthicalDecisionMaking #ArtificialIntelligenceEthics #PatientAutonomy #MedicalEthicsTraining #NeonatologyEthics #CulturalSensitivityInMedicine   Other Medical Ethics Resources: -DoD Medical Ethics Center- https://www.usuhs.edu/research/centers/dmec The DMEC is situated out of USUHS and has several resources for those in uniform on medical ethics (I am a little embarrassed that I forgot to mention them in the actual interview last night...).

#education #assumptions #culturaldifferences 0:00 - 2:20 - Intro 2:20 - 9:20 - Keep Your Assumptions on a Leash 9:20 - Wrap Up Hello Everyone, I hope all is well. Welcome to our segment on Education, this week ☺️ We're talking about how much you stand to learn, when you recognize the limits that culture places on your reality. As someone who has travelled quite a bit, the most crucial learning I've gained is that nothing is a given. Whether it's something small like table manners, or something more sensitive like gender topics, culture places a significant role as to how these scenarios play out. Many of us assume like-mindedness when we engage in conversation, and feel defensive when confronted with alternate points of view. There is so much to learn from people who have walked a different path, and see the world through a different cultural lens, if you prime yourself to be open-minded and keep your cultural bias in check. So much (if not all), of how we think and respond is culturally influenced. We only become aware to what extent our behaviour is influenced by our own cultural norms when we have the opportunity to meet and interact with people whose cultural influences are worlds apart from our own. These moments have made for deep introspection, reflection, and recognition on my own personal values, and the degree by which relativity touches on every facet of life. Give yourself the opportunity to learn the same

In this episode of Journey to Transformation, Lauren and Teia take on the concept of cultural relativism and its entanglement with ethical conflicts in international development.Picture a religious holiday dinner – your family tradition might dictate turkey, while another household might insist on pancakes and spam. Can one impose their tradition onto another? The concept of cultural relativism argues no, a sentiment we extend into the diverse world of humanitarian and international development.Further, we discuss the challenge of non-governmental organisations that are committed to inclusivity and gender equality operating in places where these principles are not a given. Can these organisations impose their viewpoints, or is this a dangerous dance with cultural colonisation? We examine the friction between respect for cultural norms and the push for universal human rights and social change, revealing the inherent complexities and dilemmas. What is our role in places where social norms contradict our deeply held beliefs about human rights and equality? Are we imposing our beliefs, or are we advocating for universal human rights?Join us as we grapple with these profound ethical dilemmas, spilling the tea on the contentious intersection of cultural relativism, human rights, and the quest for social change. We promise no easy answers but a thought-provoking journey you wouldn't want to miss.Trigger Warning: Lauren and Teia discuss instances of gender-based violence.

Our good friend, Gary Brumbelow, was a missionary working with indigenous peoples in Canada, Alaska, and Siberia. Gary saw churches planted and many come to Christ. By traditional missionary standards, his work was successful. But Gary was plagued with a nagging question: “Shouldn't the Gospel going into a community bring about a change?” What was wrong? Is the Gospel not a powerful change agent? Next, Gary read a book that changed his life and his concept of missions.

During his lifetime, Ludwig Wittgenstein published only one book-length work of philosophy. Yet it remains one of the most influential philosophical works of the past 200 years. Jonah Woodward and Alexandros Constantinou sit down with PhD student Nick Purches-Knabb, to discuss the changing interpretations of Wittgenstein's work and how it completely undermines our understanding of language, ethics, and philosophy.

Postmodernism : Cultural Relativism ( Is truth relative, can we know the truth? We confront the postmodern lie that truth is relative & subjective. We confront both the relativist and culture with the exclusive claim of the gospel truth: the Lordship of Jesus Christ who is the Truth and the only way and show how believing this historic & absolute truth helps us discern our particularly unique Zimbabwean culture. We discuss how Christians ought to respond to cultural practices such as lobola, kurova guva (kuchenura), bribery and corruption etc, in a way that preserves the purity of the gospel and does not compromise the truth.

America was born upon belief in Truth. Our founding fathers affirmed not only the existence of general truth claims, but the transcending existence of a specific universal and absolute reality of Truth encoded in the Cosmos by the Creator. This Truth was self-existent-self-evident. By this Truth humanity was to be governed for Life and Liberty. Apart from Truth there could be-would be no Life or Liberty.

On today's episode, we continue our discussion of metaethics, explaining some of the traditional philosophical problems in metaethics, which have led  some philosophers to think that anti-realist or relativist views of morality might actually be right.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes

In this episode, we begin a discussion about the possibility that morality is all relative, subject, or perhaps merely opinion. We give some objections to the some of the simpler forms of moral relativism, and consider some of the more sophisticated replies. Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes

Then over the last century the secular hopes held out by all political ideologies begin to follow in religions wake. In the latter part of the twentieth century we entered the postmodern era. An era which defined itself, and was defined, by its suspicion towards all grand narratives. However, as all schoolchildren learn, nature abhors a vacuum, and into the postmodern vacuum new ideas begin to creep, with the intention of providing explanations and meanings of their own. Douglas Murray, The Madness of Crowds, page 1.We are going through a great crowd derangement. In public and in private, both online and off, people are behaving in ways that are increasingly irrational, feverish, herd-like and simply unpleasant. The daily news cycle is filled with the consequences. Yet while we see the symptoms everywhere we do not see that causes...Murray, 1.People in wealthy, Western democracies today could not simply remain the first people in recorded history to have absolutely no explanation for what we are doing here, and no story to give life purpose. Whatever else they lacked, the grand narratives of the past at least gave life meeting. The question of what exactly we are meant to do now — other than get rich where we can have whatever fun is on offer — was going to have to be answered by something. The answer that has presented itself in recent years is to engage in new battles, ever fiercer campaigns and evermore niche demands. Defined meaning by waging a constant war against anybody who seems to be on the wrong side of a question which may itself have just been reframed and the answer to which has only just been altered. The unbelievable speed of this process had principally been caused by the fact that a handful of businesses in Silicon Valley (notably Google, Twitter and Facebook) now have the power not just to direct what most of the world know, think, and say, but have a business model which has accurately been described as relying on finding ‘customers ready to pay to modify someone else's behavior' Murray, 1-2.

Greetings all,This episode we dive into more White Fragility Training nonsense and the hypocrisy of it all.  Darry had to take some more racial sensitivity training and decided to share the his newfound knowledge of nonsense with the crew.  Ethnocentrism, Implicit Bias, Explicit Bias, Cultural Relativism and how it affects Marginalized Communities.  At the core of this continued push from the radical left to make all of America think they are racist is the simple fact that the narrative is completely false.  Be honest, fair, show humility, exhibit humanity and life is pretty easy.  Instead, whacky liberals want to take a word like stereotype and use fancy lingo like Implicit Bias, Explicit Bias and go into complex breakdowns of nothingness to brainwash people into thinking they believe something they don't or make you think you are something you are not.  See this for what it is and discard it if you are having to take this bullshit training at your place of employment.  Quit being sheep and realize we live in a pretty amazing country full of wonderful people. As always you can reach us at perceptionerection@gmail.com

Social Justice and Rioting (Tweets on a Blog)Moral TheoryWithout a universal, absolute, transcendent basis for morality, what basis do we have for stating that the action of another is unjust, whether the action be that of a police officer or of a rioter? Perhaps the morality they act from is rooted in their culture (Cultural Relativism) or in their subjectivity and feelings (Subjectivism) or in their will to power (Nietzscheism) or in their considered opinion about what action likely leads to the greater happiness for most sentient creatures (Utilitarianism). This simply is how my people behave; I do what I feel like doing; I’m progressive, evolving humanity; sometimes we must break a few eggs to make an omelet. Before a moral conversation is possible, parameters and principles must be established. How can we value human life for any group while we do not value the lives of the most innocent among us--while we even celebrate butchering them? Where is room for respecting life, any life, given this barbaric reality? How is one to believe that ANY lives matter, while more Black babies are aborted in NYC than are born there? The right to life, respecting equal dignity among persons, is an essential principle for beginning to discuss our current crisis involving police brutality, systemic racism, and rioting.While believing “by any means necessary”, even placing this dictum on plaques outside public institutions, why blame people for resorting to violence, looting, and vandalism? These are the means they deem necessary for establishing social justice. If this motto appeals to you, you might want to imagine your opponent acting on it as well. What means might they deem necessary for establishing their vision and goals: arson, murder, internet hacking…? Anarchy! If you don’t want a hasty generalization or a rush to judgement applied to you and yours, don’t apply them to others. Do bad actors exist in about any large group? This hardly is a serious question. What percentage of members of a given race are racist? What percentage of police officers (or Republican or Democrat Senators and Representatives) are sociopaths and narcissists? What statistical data supports your claim? What studies support it, and how were those studies carried out? Without answering these questions, we’ll fall into scapegoating, blind hatred, irrationality, anarchy. Evaluate from a Higher, Broader PerspectiveIf you think our police force, generally, is dangerously unjust, try mob-rule, or consider policing as practiced in China or Russia or Mexico. View our policing and our injustices against minorities, in a broader context, regarding a variety of societies and how they treat their minorities. News flash: there’s injustice in the world—always has been. Focusing only on certain injustices, without a broad understanding, sews division and unrest, not for solving these problems but for exacerbating them. This is not to minimize or to defend injustice. Allowing evil to fester and grow is cowardice and harmful to everyone. Perspective is essential, though. While we do have a long way to go in understanding and respecting minorities, in establishing peace and justice for all, America has come a long way; and our nation does fly, morally speaking, far above many nations. At one point, the French acted heroically in arming themselves and killing troops from their rooftops; their situation warranted that. We’re not there. Injustice in America, now, hasn’t reach such depths. Injustice is certainly present, but certainly not to that extent. So, given the amount of injustice present now, just remain silent and idle? No! So, shoot from the rooftops? No! Perspective, please. Are there highly relevant factors to consider, other than police brutality and systemic racism, concerning the plight of minorities? Perhaps fatherlessness (single parent households) plays a role, among other issues, in youth turning to substance abuse and crime, leading to poverty. Police brutality and systemic racism are real factors that must be weighed and corrected. Ignoring other relevant factors, though, helps no one. Again, evaluate from a higher, broader perspective. Conspiracy Theory, Useful IdiotsTo what extent might Communist, Maoist, and Anarchist groups, including complicit government officials, be involved in today’s riots? Who are they, and who backs them? A theory of conspiracy to riot? Absolutely! Call me a conspiracy theorist. (If you don’t realize that conspiracies against governments and institutions are, and always have been widespread, please pick up a history book—any history book.) If we can get beyond inane name-calling, uncovering the financial backers and the instigators of today’s destructive social upheaval would prove most helpful. Who is traveling beyond state lines to riot, and who is funding and training them? Are there police, mayors, representatives, or senators receiving funding and political support from treasonous organizations or billionaires? Clearly, the riots in our major cities are organized—who is organizing them? It’s certainly not any of the many Americans from a wide variety of ethnicities or religions that I often interact with (I’m thankful for having lived and worked in a diverse part of Grand Rapids, Michigan for over 20 years). On to another conspiracy theory. Perhaps the federalized, militarized approach one might cheer on now (understandably, given the mayhem) is exactly what those against our Constitution and our democratic republic want citizens to beg for. Take care that you don’t become someone’s useful idiot, helping to establish a police state. Some have praised China for its handling of Covid19—perhaps they would prefer having a federalized police force? Totalitarian regimes are so efficient and effective in handling rioters! Whichever side one tends to favor, then, law enforcement or rioters, be careful not to be another’s pawn in a game you don’t understand. If this involves too much thinking, bring on a headache, just laugh it off, calling it a conspiracy theory, and take two aspirin (the blue pills). Racist groups will endlessly loop video of the acts of rioters and of the acts of police brutality, for propaganda. Such propagandists are useful idiots to their puppet-masters who seek chaos before exacting their own new order. The puppet-masters advance their unique agenda on the back of any convenient movement, especially when that movement consists of many outraged activists.Idolatry of the FamilyStop sheltering and supporting your domestic-terrorist children, parents. Arson, looting, and attacking innocent protesters are not actions where “go along to get along” is an acceptable strategy for happy homemaking. Imagine your living in 1860; you’re a Unionist while your 26-year-old son, living with you, is a Confederate. He seeks the dissolution of the U.S., believing slavery to be a valuable institution, that African slaves are less than human. “Time for dinner, honey”! Really? As thick as blood is, as important as domestic tranquility is, turning a blind eye to the evil under your roof only harms your son or daughter. Hopefully, by courageously being intolerant of their self-righteous virtue signaling, of the harmful actions they’re perpetrating against others, you’ll pull them back from the brink of hell and spare others of becoming their hapless victims; at least you’ll no longer be party to their crimes.Destruction or SalvationIn several ways, we Americans are destroying ourselves from within. Keep it up and China, Russia, and/or Iran gladly will, sooner or later, take us over. Police brutality we sometimes witness now wouldn’t be worth mentioning, compared to what witnessing a conquering enemy would look like. God was our only hope at the birth of our nation. He’s our only hope now. Let’s try getting on a knee or two, bowing in repentance, worship, and intercession.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher James Rachels' essay, The Challenge of Cultural Relativism, found in his Elements of Moral Philosophy. Specifically it examines whether we can or cannot criticize the practices or moral norms of other cultures or not. The relativist is committed to the view that we cannot - and should not - criticize them, without simply imposing our own culture's viewpoint. Rachels argues that this is mistaken.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher James Rachels' essay, The Challenge of Cultural Relativism, found in his Elements of Moral Philosophy. Specifically it examines the issue whether - as cultural relativists tend to claim - moral norms really are not shared across differing cultures, so that each culture would have its own set of moral norms. Rachels argues for a form of soft universalism, which holds that, while cultural practices may differ considerably, there are some general moral norms acknowledged by the different cultures.

This is SHOW #12 - LIVE STREAM - in which I complete my FIRST full LIVE STREAM SHOW on Podbean platform. In this show, I talked about the POSITIVE OUTCOMES of Good Race and Ethnic Relations for college students. Major issues that I highlighted were: 1. Cultural Relativism, 2. Enculturation, 3. Food, 4. Music, 5. Pop Culture - Social Media - 6. Slang terms - Language! Every college student who wants to interact and engage with other college students who happen to look different than you, these are some simple suggestions on how to get out of your comfort zone and meet other college students on your campus! Send me an email if you have OTHER SUGGESTIONS at: ejb678@gmail.com . Thank you for listening to my FIRST LIVE STREAM PODCAST SHOW!

An episode in which Kaisha and Kelsey discuss crazy short stories, obvious conceits, and divine redemption. Come along as we chat about the author who inspired a genre of horror stories without supernatural elements. Kaisha talks about the author who first coined the word android in the 1800s. Take away for writers: an excellent author does not always write excellent stories. You can find full show notes on www.readwriterepeatpod.com.

Today on the show, media has stopped talking about collusion. What a coincidence. Also, a horrific story out of Bangladesh which I think proves yet again that we should not engage in cultural relativism. All cultures are not created equal, it turns out. And Netflix says that the term chick flick is offensive. Their reasoning is hypocritical yet hilarious. Date: 04-19-2019

It's tempting to sweep into these show notes like a certain loudmouthed Betazoid and start spreading pate related puns, but it just doesn't feel right. This is a beautiful hour of television and y'all all deserve to go watch it unspoilered. Really the very best that Star Trek has to offer.

In the episode of Zero Gravity Cast, Robert and Luke take on the false concept of group rights and cultural relativism.

In this episode of Standing Firm, Pastor James Brown Jr reviews some statements by Pastor Tim Keller concerning The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel. We live in a strange time when words have no meaning, but they do have legs. Pastor Keller has stated that we should not look at the words but at what they do as if they can grow limbs and jump off the page into action. We are seeing the effects of Postmodernism on the Church. Everything is being deconstructed to the point of meaningless. When there is no meaning there is no truth; and where there is no truth there can be no justice.

This week Beau, Michael, and Crofton take a look at our propensity to judge the differences of other cultures and nationals through lens of our own cultural and morality and ask whether or not this is a useful manner of thinking, or a shortcoming of the way our minds work! Want to watch a video […] The post GBB 219 – Cultural Relativism appeared first on The Good, Bad, or Bull$#*! Podcast.

We discuss deontological (act) and teleological (outcome) ethics, utilitarianism, cultural relativism and sift our way through the words to find some grounding as to the background forces defining the bads and the goods of today.

Roberta Lea Brilmayer on Cultural Relativism: The Basic Problem and Some Complexities

The Roma, Cultural Relativism, Autonomy and Community EmpowermentDiscussion with Danilo Ćurčić on the discrimination and segregation faced by the Roma in Serbia, in particular with respect to employment and housing, including forced evictions from informal Roma settlements. We discuss the need to move away from the discourse of providing humanitarian assistance to the enforcement of human and constitutional rights. We also discuss the conflict in addressing human rights violations within the Roma community while respecting the community’s autonomy and explore issues with the discourse of cultural relativism. Additionally, we discuss the need for community empowerment for the Roma across Europe.For More Info:https://www.praxis.org.rs/index.php/en/praxis-in-action/discrimination/item/426-discrimination-against-roma-living-in-container-settlements-formed-after-forced-evictionshttp://www.unhcr.rs/media/UNHCR_Roma_IDPs_Needs_Assessment.pdfhttp://www.osce.org/mission-to-serbia/309536http://www.amnesty.eu/content/assets/Doc2011/Serbia_Roma_Report_070411(2).pdfhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDJ-YtLi2NAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TsxCxft_h8https://www.praxis.org.rs/images/praxis_downloads/Child_Early_and_Forced_Marriages_are_Not_a_Private_Family_Matter.pdfhttps://www.praxis.org.rs/images/praxis_downloads/Protecting_Roma_Against_Discrimination.pdfhttps://www.praxis.org.rs/images/praxis_downloads/Report_right_to_adequate_housing.pdfhttps://www.praxis.org.rs/images/praxis_downloads/praxis-persons-at-risk-of-statelessness-in-serbia.pdfhttps://rs.boell.org/en/2016/11/30/moving-out-poverty-waste-picking-sustainable-mobility

Discusses recent developments in how we think about early modern diplomatic history and why we should look at all diplomacy taking place in a particular court.

Using diplomatic reports, this talk discusses the cultural relativism at play when diplomats moved between the Ottoman court and other Islamic courts in India and north Africa.

Paul and Jesse Schrader discuss the anthropology of Ratzinger and Hauerwas, covering important differences and misunderstandings. In talking about the topic of relativism: in the church being a separate community you will most certainly confront relativism. Because your only line of defense against relativism is not appealing to reason or philosophical argument. Instead, you are insisting that truth is something that is embodied—there is a merger there.

Speech Acts and Performative Utterances.  In this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Zachary Fruhling and Mike Morrison discuss the philosophical and linguistic issues of speech acts and performative utterances. Many different kinds of speech acts can be found inside Star Trek, including taking oaths and granting promotions, saying wedding vows and pronouncing marriages, naming androids and christening starships, auto-destruct commands, replicator orders, and transfers of command, to name a few. Zachary and Mike discuss different examples of performative utterances in Star Trek and the role they play in a free society.  In addition, Zachary and Mike consider objections to the concepts of speech acts and performative utterances from the philosophical standpoints of relativism and reductionism.  Chapters Welcome to Episode 31 (00:01:23) What are Speech Acts and Performative Utterances?

Euthanasia in Star Trek.  In this episode of Meta Treks: A Star Trek Philosophy Podcast, we debate the ethical issue of euthanasia in Star Trek. From the flashback scene of Dr. McCoy removing his father from life support in Star Trek V, to the ritual suicide practices of various alien races, we examine a variety of examples of euthanasia in Star Trek.

The Bonding.   When Lieutenant Marla Aster is killed unexpectedly during an away mission under Lieutenant Worf's command, Worf takes young Jeremy Aster under his wing by participating in the Klingon ritual known as "R'uustai" ("The Bonding"). In this episode of Meta Treks: A Star Trek Philosophy Podcast, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling explore the philosophical themes of death and loss. Mike and Zachary discuss meaning and the existential absurdity of life and death, the sociological and cultural role of rituals, Jeremy Aster's escapism and the illusion of happiness, the finality of death, and the sense of powerlessness in the face of death. Finally, Mike and Zachary continue the turbolift debate between Captain Picard and Counselor Troi about the wisdom of allowing children to live aboard a starship.   Chapters Welcome to Episode 24 (00:01:07)  Synopsis of TNG "The Bonding" (00:06:00)  Initial Thoughts (00:06:46)  Death, Meaning, and the Absurd (00:12:20)  Emotions and Death (00:16:47)  Worf and Jeremy Aster (00:21:55)  The Role of Ritual (00:25:43)  Death, Pluralism, and Cultural Relativism (00:30:31)  Exploration and Meaning - The Challenger Explosion (00:41:21)  The Finality of Death (00:43:11)  The Role of Death in Life (00:45:25)  Escapism and the Illusion of Happiness (00:48:22)  Subjective Meaning vs. Objective Meaning (00:52:18)  Deep Space Nine - "It's Only a Paper Moon" (00:57:20)  Cross-Cultural Connections (01:03:45)  Children on the Enterprise - A City in Space (01:09:53)  Final Thoughts (01:18:41)  Hosts  Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling   Production  Dennis Castello (Editor and Producer) Norman C.

Friday's Child. When fans think of Klingon episodes on TOS, they think of “Errand of Mercy,” “Day of the Dove,” and “The Trouble with Tribbles.” The second appearance of the classic villains was made in what is really a Bones story—they just happen to be there. “Friday's Child” gets overlooked by fans, yet it builds upon the Organian Peace Treaty and allows Dr. McCoy to step into the spotlight all at the same time. In this episode of The Ready Room, we're joined by Larry Nemecek, Charlynn Schmiedt, and Zachary Fruhling to discuss the other Vasquez Rocks show, those dastardly Klingons, wearing carpet in the desert, how Dorothy Fontana handles the symmetry between Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, and whether or not “Friday's Child” is the most undervalued TOS episode. In our news segment, we discuss the recent Beverly Crusher Day and upcoming Deanna Troi Day, more from the Star Trek Beyond Dubai set and its alien faces, and we discuss the StarTrek.com poll that asked which series has the saddest episodes.

What is cultural relativism? Why is cultural relativism so dangerous, and why is it becoming so popular?
