Relativism Vs Dualism

279 Words2 Pages

I believe that I have matured beyond the stage of relativism and dualism onto the commitment stage because of my ability to use a combination of reason, valid evidence, and opinion to formulate theories about certain topics. Dualism can be summarized as a stage in development where the factors for decision making are mostly limited to solid facts and verified evidence. Relativism is when opinions are used to formulate a thesis, and as mentioned in the original discussion post, that they all carry equal weight. A potential issue with the relativist mindset could be that the students at this stage do not allow for the hesitation needed for successful decision making. Due to the fact that I consider myself at the commitment stage, I do not think

    Carnegie thinks it is better to build public institutions than give charity to the poor because the poor need to have the “desire to improve” and find help in these public institutions. (Carnegie 30). He believes that rather wealthy “Men who continue hoarding great sums all their lives” can find the proper use for their money, which is to help the community. (Carnegie 29). By just giving money to the poor the wealthy are doing all their work and instead the poor should find the assistance they need to improve their lives.

  • Cultural Relativism Vs Female Circumcision

    102 Words  | 1 Pages

    Our moral beliefs indicate the kind of environment or culture we grew up in. Therefore, if we were born in Somalia, we would believe that it is morally right to go through female circumcision as a rite of passage. However, if we grew up in the western world, then we would not believe in female circumcision. We can therefore see the relativist 's argument of cultural relativism in this case, because if cultural relativism exists, then naturally, morality will also be relative. Additionally, to support his stance, the relativist will also argue that tolerance comes into play when it comes to cultural relativism.

  • Cultural Relativism: Rites Of Passage

    1580 Words  | 7 Pages

    Cultural relativism is the understanding of other cultures in their own terms. To achieve the understanding of the rituals used in the cultures of another, one must be able to look at them from an emic (insider) perspective. One must also be able to look at his own culture from an etic (outsider) perspective. The ability to look at one’s culture from the etic point of view will make it easier to explain the rituals to someone from a different culture, for example, rites of passage. Rites of passage are used to mark a life stage and are celebrated by tradition or religion, meant to separate a specific group.

    Being that the mind is physical, there must be some aspects of consciousness that can be reduced. The reducible qualities of consciousness include the functional aspects of the brain—behavior, information processing, reaction to stimuli, etc. On the other hand, there is the subjective experience that arises from these physical processes. Can the subjective part of consciousness be explained by physical processes? I do not think that is possible.

  • Essay On Predicate Dualism

    1009 Words  | 5 Pages

    The term ‘dualism’ has a variety of uses if we see the previous literature. In common sense, the notion is that, for any particular area of interest, there are two commonly different classes of things. In theory, for example a ‘dualist’ is one who believes that Good and Evil-or God and the Devil-are independent and more or less equal forces in the world. Dualism compare with monism, which is the theory that there is only one significant type, category of thing and rather less commonly, with pluralism, which is commonly referred to as many categories. In the philosophy of mind, dualism is the theory that the mind and body are, in some sense, totally different types of thing.

    Definition of the word worldview can vary greatly, ranges from “we are all what we think” which has been inspired by Buddha, to a more current view being that it is a set of assumptions and beliefs that have an all-powerful effect , both on cognition and behavior. In brief, worldview influences and impacts the way a person view their surroundings, their lives as well as other people in their environment (Sue & Sue, 2003). Culture is only a single word that besets a plethora of categories which can influence a person’s thoughts, beliefs, actions and morals. Enclosing a myriad of life experiences, family values and lessons into a single word is quite a challenge. I am a product of Italian American culture.

    An issue in theoretical basis on what should prevail or which is supreme between International Law or Municipal Law (national law) is usually presented as a competition between monism and dualist. But in modern approach there is now the theory of coordination or is also called Harmonization theory that rejects the presumption of the other two theoretical concept, monism and dualism.

    After performing this lab, this was really imbedded with me because I like to choose the most logical option with clear and concise procedures and solutions, but if not for my emotional stake in the decision and actions I take then I would not be able to effectively act out the solution or believe it is the best choice. In relation to my dilemma, the best option that I would be emotionally founded in is to quit, but I also value commitment highly. This situation really tied together the Decision –Making lab because I was able to realize a real problem, formulize possible solutions, and then think about all of the aspects of each solution in order to choose one. To make decisions is actually hard to do and I could apply this to so many smaller or larger problems that people encounter

  • Examples Of Cultural Relativism

    827 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout this essay, cultural relativism will be questioned, but also supported in some ways. The idea of cultural relativism reminds me of a sociological term--ethnocentrism--that essentially means the opposite. Ethnocentrism is essentially a bias about your own culture against other cultures. One can only see their culture (usually as dominant to the others), rather than attempting to see the perspective of whatever culture is in question. An example of real-life cultural relativism is female circumsition or clitordectomy.
