I will attach my week 3 worksheet. The paper needs to be over the topic Education in relation to cultural relativism for Anthropology class.

Final Research Paper

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. 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.

Cultural relativism is the idea that
the beliefs and practices of a culture should be understood within the context
of that particular culture’s background, history, and current events
surrounding it. We should not ethnocentrically impose our own beliefs and
opinions, which are products of our own enculturation.

Cultural relativism is not the same as
moral relativism, however. As Crapo (2013) notes

We need not, for instance, come to
value infanticide in order to understand the roles it may play in peoples’
lives in a society where it is customary. What cultural relativism requires of
us is simply that we do not confuse our own feelings about such a custom with
understanding it. To do the latter, we must investigate the meanings the custom
has for those who practice it and the functions it may fulfill in their
society. (section 1.4, “Cultural Differences: Cultural Relativism,” para. 3)

Keep the distinction between cultural
relativism and moral relativism in mind as you write your Final Research 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.

Your Final Research Paper will consist
of two main parts, framed by an Introduction and a Conclusion. See the Final Paper Flow Chart for
a quick overview of the assignment. See the following instructions for
information on each part of the paper.

Introduction

Begin with an introductory paragraph
that has a thesis statement at the end. The introduction should set up your
topic, giving a preview and summary of the analysis you will present in the
body of the paper. The thesis statement is the last sentence or two of the
introduction and states what the main point structuring your paper will be.

Here is an Example of an Introduction (Links to an
external site.)Links to an external site..

Part I

Using the article by Miner (1956) and the feedback you received from your
instructor on your worksheet in Week Three, describe one aspect of your own
culture from an etic perspective. See the appropriate Sections in the Textbook
in the List of Topics (Links to an
external site.)Links to an external site., based on your chosen
topic from Week Three, for information on how to approach your paper from an
anthropological perspective. You can describe American culture in general, as
Miner does, or you can describe an American subculture, such as a specific
geographical group (e.g., New Yorkers), a particular ethnicity (e.g., African
Americans), or an age-related category of Americans (e.g., millennials).

Use reputable statistics and/or
scholarly research to support any factual statements. Do not rely solely on
personal experience or opinion.

Part II

Refer to the article you chose for Part
II of the worksheet assignment in Week Three and describe an aspect of another
culture from an emic (insider’s) perspective. You do not have to do research
beyond reading your chosen article; however, if you do choose to conduct
additional research make sure to use reputable statistics and/or scholarly
sources to support any factual statements. Do not rely upon personal experience
or opinion.

Conclusion

End with a concluding paragraph that
reinforces your thesis. Summarize and tie together your main points for the
reader. Provide a brief self-reflexive analysis of what you learned while
writing this paper.
