What is explanatory practical guidance?

 

Question options:

CShe refused to issue the licenses to express solidarity with her gay friends who lived in other states, where gay marriage was still illegal.

 

DShe refused to issue the licenses because she was a recent convert to Islam, and her traditionalist imam taught that gay marriage is un-Islamic.

Cosmopolitan response to cases where cultures disagree

/in /by

According to APPIAH, how does a cosmopolitan respond to  cases where cultures disagree about what’s right or wrong?

 

Question options:

AThe cosmopolitan acknowledges that there are many different cultural practices, and that in many cases different practices can be equally morally good. However, some cultural practices are morally wrong. One of the things cosmopolitans seek to do is to exchange ideas about which cultural practices are morally right and which are morally wrong.

 

BCosmopolitans navigate cultural variation by immersing themselves in it and celebrating it. They believe that once you have immersed yourself in a different culture, you will come to see that that culture’s moral practices are the morally right practices for it.

 

C“Cosmopolitanism” is another term for what Midgley calls “moral isolationism.” Cosmopolitans avoid cultural conflict by refusing to pass judgment on the practices of other cultures. They believe that no one can understand a culture they weren’t raised in, and judging without understanding is always wrong.

 

DThe cosmopolitan wants everyone to be his brother, but on the cosmopolitan’s terms. Cosmopolitans believe that the best way for us all to be citizens of the world is if we all move toward a single, globally shared culture, and so cosmopolitans try to peacefully encourage everyone to live in the exact same way (so there are no cultural differences anymore).

 

Tendency of cultural practices to spread from one culture to another

/in /by

Which of the following best characterizes MIDGLEY’s view about the tendency of cultural practices to spread from one culture to another over time?

 

Question options:

AShe believes that all (or nearly all) cultures are inevitably formed by the mixing together of influences from a variety of other cultures. We should focus on the value to be gained from doing this process well, instead of fighting mindlessly against it.

 

BShe believes that cultural mixing can happen, but it should be resisted. If all cultures were to digest and assimilate each other, we would be left with a single homogeneous global culture. We should resist this sad outcome by erecting an isolating barrier between cultures, and taking careful steps not to allow other cultures to influence ours, and to avoid imposing our own practices on other cultures.

 

CShe believes that cultures evolve, but that genuine exchange of cultural practices is impossible. The impossibility of genuine cross-cultural understanding means that there is an effective isolating barrier between cultures. One culture cannot genuinely adopt a practice from another culture, because there is no way they could fully understand the role that practice played in the other culture.

On Trying Out One’s New Sword.

Which of the following best characterizes MIDGLEY’s thesis in her essay “On Trying Out One’s New Sword.”

 

Question options:

AMoral isolationism is a fascinating subject to explore, and it should be a focus of continued anthropological research.

 

BMoral isolationism is an implausible view that readers should reject as false.

 

CMoral isolationism is a view that is true for some cultures, but it cannot be true for every culture. We need to figure out which kind of culture we are before we can figure out if moral isolationism is true for us.

characterization of “moral isolationism”

/in /by

 

Which of the following is the best characterization of the view Midgley calls “moral isolationism?”

 

Question  options:

ADifferent cultures may have started off isolated, back in ancient history, but in the present day all cultures are a rich stew of various influences.

 

BDifferent cultures should isolate themselves from each other, so they are not contaminated by foreign moral practices that are incompatible with their own.

 

CDifferent cultures have fundamentally different moral codes, and so we should never condemn a foreign culture’s moral practices using the terms of our own culture’s moral code.

 

DDifferent cultures naturally tend to be isolated from each other, but they should work hard to mix their cultures with other cultures, so that they can learn from them.
