Culture/Week 3/ 엄서영 Um seoyoung

1) Summary


Culture is needed to determine who human beings are difficult to determine only by their biological characteristics. You can differentiate groups or societies through culture. There is  Subculture and Countercultures in culture. For example, a subculture is a small number of cultures, such as one class of culture and military culture.  can be seen as a culture against society. The biggest example is the hippie movement of 1960.


2)What was interesting / What did you learn

 It was interesting to see the ethnocentrism that he thought was the best. If you don't understand the culture of another country and think that your culture is the best, you don't think you can see the world widely. So I decided to understand other cultures with a cultural relativism.


3)Discussion Point


Cultural relativism is important to understand the culture of other countries. But should we even understand a culture that threatens human dignity, such as the honnor killing of the Islamic world?

  1. I think the culture of each country should be respected, but the ethics of human beings should come first before culture. Therefore, unethical culture should not be respected.

  2. It is important to understand and accept the culture of other countries. But like your opinion, I think culture that threatens human dignity needs to be punished.
    That is because human dignity should be protected at all costs.
