I believe some way that morally wrong because genital cutting is wrong if it is to girl’s related. Many times women are circumcised using glass, rusty knives or even pieces of sharp metal. Circumcision is different depending on the country. Also mothers are directly responsible for arranging the genital mutilation of their daughter. Some immigrant families get together and chip in to bring someone from their country to perform the circumcision because they have found out that is less expensive to bring the circumcision to their home than it is to send the girls to their homeland. All over the world there are many different cultures. In Western culture is very modern culture, their female which they have a right. In the western culture some people have never even heard of words of female circumcision, female genital mutilation, or female genital cutting. When people in Africa don't like what's going to happen in their government they rebel. In the article “Many North African Muslims believe that female circumcision is required by certain saying they attribute to Mohammad, the founder of Islam” So the people of Western North African uses a similar culture. Ethical Relativism is basically explained by whatever moral standards are widely accepted in a society. Relativists believe that what is ethical is relative to its place, time, culture etc. So a relativist would argue that female circumcision is perfectly ethical in the cultures that practice it because that what accepted by the people who practice it as well as the people who have it done. They would also argue that female circumcision isn't acceptable in places like the US, since it is not accepted in our culture. So it therefore would not be ethical in the US. It's not acceptable for African countries to practice genital mutilation simply because their culture says it's acceptable. The rights of a person are being violated, whether the victims agree or not. Therefore it's an

    Female genital mutilation is the term used for operations or removal of all or just part of the external parts of female genitilia.This practice has for a long time come under increasingly intense international scrutiny from the news media, feminist and human rights organizations. The main reasons for continuation of FGM are firstly, as a rite of passage from girlhood to womanhood; a circumcised woman is considered mature, obedient and aware of her role in the family and society.Secondly, FGM is perpetuated as a means of reducing sexual desire of girls and women, thereby curbing sexual activity before and ensuring fidelity within marriage.…

    Ethical relativism has two categories: subjectivism and conventionalism. Subjectivism is all about the individual, like it is everyone for themselves. This idea makes people like Hitler, Bundy, and members of the KKK (just to name a few) justified in their actions. With conventionalism it is all about the society or culture, but then it becomes a question of how many individuals it takes to make a society. If there are enough Hitler-like people then they can form their own culture with its own morals and anything goes again. Both of these views of ethical relativism seem to be going in circles allowing all behavior as acceptable.…

    All over the world female cutting, or circumcisions, are being performed for various reasons with numbers currently reaching around 140 million alive and affected (Crockett 2015). With that high of a number and the numbers increasing around three million more affected per year a large world-wide controversy has been started (Crockett 2015). In most circumstance the reasoning for female circumcisions is religious and part of one’s culture and heritage (Crockett 2015). Some are required to have it performed and the procedures and after effects are painful (Crockett 2015). That hasn’t stopped some countries from banning it like others have, deeming it an act of violence towards girls and women (Crockett 2015). So is female cutting actually an act of violence or should the bans be lifted and why is it performed exactly?…

    For example, by following the cultural relativism theory we would not be able to criticise the practice of female circumcision in many countries in Africa, even though it causes long and short term health concerns for female involved. It also shows when believe systems or old traditions tend to shape cultures how illogical, irrational acts could be carried by the name of traditions. Since there is no technique to qualitatively evaluate cultures, all the cultures could claim that they are absolutely right. Furthermore, cultural relativism does not even let us judge or criticise own cultural values, practices, lifestyles, morals and ethics, which halts the process of improving and in a sense change in our own cultures as…

    Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is an ancient practice that remains a deeply rooted tradition in more than 28 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and has a widespread in other continents along with African Diaspora. Reports and surveys have shown that about 78% of girls and women (UNICEF MICS 2007) In The Gambia undergo the practice. According to a community-based survey on the long-term reproductive consequences of FGM/C (MRC 2001) conducted in rural Gambia, 98% of Mandinkas, 32% of Fulas, and 4% of Wolof show signs of FGM/C. other surveys conducted by other NGO’s like GAMCOTRAP and BAFROW respectively, estimate the practice among Mandinkas and Sarahule at 100%, 96% among Jolas and 84% among Fulas. Prevalence of the practice is driven by deep-seated traditional beliefs, rewards and the belief that it is a religious injunction in a predominantly Muslim country.

    Westernization In Canada

    As the world becomes globalized, countries are trailing behind their cultures and their identity, for them to be cohesive with the Western ideal. The alteration in clothing style, religious beliefs, family roles are few of the examples of the impacts of which Westernization has had on developing countries. With that said, a medical practice common in developing countries such as Uganda, Sudan and Iraq, is female circumcision (Keilburger, 2013). Often linked this practice to Islamic teachings, it is incorrect as in this religion, merely male circumcision is encouraged, proving the fact that this practice roots to generations of cultural beliefs (Keilburger, 2013). “The communities where FGM is practiced explains Dr. Shaw, place high value on virginity, so the custom is seen as protection for young girls from premarital sex”. (Keilburger, 2013: 1) Adding on, developed nations across the world including Canada do not allow for such treatment to be performed on women as it is believed here to be inhumane and child abuse (Keilburger, 2013). Despite scarce records of such mutilation to occur to Canadian women in secrecy, there are laws preventing physicians, doctors and…

    Relativists argue that there is no absolute law that gives guidance as to what is right or wrong. What is ethical or unethical depends on the individual or their culture such that what is unethical to one person can be ethical in another person’s culture. With relativism, one cannot pass judgment on another person’s moral standards using their own standards; they can only accommodate the other person’s point of view as everything is right and ethical relative to a particular culture or even an individual (“Ethics and social responsibility”2010). Goodman (2010) argues that relativism cannot and should not be a standard for morality. Some things are simply wrong regardless of an individual’s beliefs or even culture. Every society determines its rules and compromises and absolute laws cannot be made without compromising some cultures ethical stands; however, principles are principles and some things cannot be relative. Goodman (2010) gives a few areas where the question of ethics should not be left to relativism but a universal standard of ethics should be adopted. These areas include: genocide, politically induced famine and germ warfare; terrorism, hostage taking and child warriors; slavery, polygamy and incest and rape and female genital cutting.…

    Female circumcision is done in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and was even practiced up until the early 1900’s in the United States. In some drastic cases, the whole exterior portion genitalia is removed and the vaginal walls are scraped raw (Our Sexuality, Chapter 4, Pg 83). However, most female circumcisions involve the removal of the clitoral hood and a majority of the women find this aesthetically more pleasing. An argument brought up for circumcision is that it is aesthetically pleasing. However, the foreskin of the penis is homologous to the clitoral hood (Lecture 10/23). If removing the clitoral hood of a female is viewed as mutilation and unacceptable, then why is the removal of the foreskin of a male is socially accepted and expected in our country? When determining whether or not to circumcise, a parent must contrast the two and due to male circumcision not being that different from female, I would opt not to have my son…

    Anyone wishing to understand Islam must first separate the religion from the cultural norms and style of a society. Female genital mutilation is still practiced in certain pockets of Africa and Egypt, but viewed as an inconceivable horror by the vast majority of Muslims. Forced marriages may still take place in certain Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities, but would be anathema to Muslim women from other backgrounds. The Koran is addressed to all Muslims, and for the most part it does not differentiate between…
