The Relativity Of Morality

The Relativity Of Morality

During class last week, we watched three video clips concerning practices in other countries that most Americans find atrocious.  The subjects of the videos were: the Untouchables and the caste system in India, honor killings, and suicide bombers.  All three practices are, on the most part, accepted as tradition and occur frequently within the countries in which they originated.  
	Immediately after watching the videos, the first thoughts that came to my mind, having never seen such horrifying practices, were “How could people allow such tyranny to take place in their own country?”, “ How did these people come to believe that murder and suicide could lead to paradise?”, “Don’t these people have any morals?” Etc.  After later reading the chapters on cultural relativism and ethnocentrism, it became clear; morality is relative.  My upbringing and morals will never allow me to believe that these opposing practices and moral views are “correct” or “right”, but I must take into consideration that these people are only doing what is tradition in their countries and/or religions.  They were raised to believe that certain actions that I think are morally wrong are normal.
