In the Final Research Paper, you will examine your own culture from an etic (outsider’s) perspective and another culture from an emic
(insider’s) perspective to demonstrate your understanding of cultural relativism and examine misconceptions and ethnocentric beliefs
concerning each of these cultures. In doing so, you will demonstrate a culturally relativistic perspective, in order to understand why
different groups of people do what they do, without expressing a positive or negative opinion of their cultural practices. Keep the
distinction between cultural relativism and moral relativism in mind as you write your final paper. Even if you do not personally agree
with a cultural practice, demonstrate your understanding of the practice in its cultural context. Avoid opinionated or judgmental language
in your paper.
