Imagine that your relative got in a car crash and is now paralyzed. Wouldn’t you want the best for her, or would you want her to suffer for the rest of her days? While others feel that killing another is not justified, ending a life can be, in the case of military ethics, euthanasia, and in the case of George and Lennie.

Foreign cultures can often be very intriguing but difficult to understand. Living in the United States does not expose us to the beliefs and ethics of cultures outside of our own, which makes it hard to study a foreign culture without judgement. Sociologist especially are expected to look at the world as a Cultural Relativist. This means that they should try to understand the cultural practice on the culture's own term and not on our own, and to cast no moral judgements upon them. However this can be difficult to do, especially when the practice sacrifices people's lives, such as Honor Killings. In this scenario, I believe it is acceptable to speak out against a culture's traditions and have an Ethnocentric view.

Many people in the United States view dolphins as something more than just another aquatic creature. There is something very human like about them; their intelligence, curiosity, and kindness are all characteristics that people can appreciate. To many people across the world dolphins are the fun and loveable mammals of the sea; and most of all, humans are fascinated by their intellect. However, all across the globe dolphins are being slaughtered at a mass rate. Not only are they being killed, but they are being tortured as well, dying slow and painful deaths at the hands of various hunters. This is because many people in other countries are unaware of the truth

The United States is seen as a land of opportunity where one can move to prosper, and in some cases escape from barbaric cultures. However, some individuals move to the U.S. in hopes of simply finding a safer place for their selves and their families to live, where they can continue to hold their homeland culture and traditions. This fact means that the U.S. is now home to countless religions, cultures, and traditions. While this is one of the things that makes America a beautiful place it has also become one of the factors behind numerous tragedies.

Torture is a very abstract concept for individuals to grasp as there are many points of view and perspectives as to whether or not torture is acceptable in certain situations. For example, some may think that because someone is known to be a serial killer but unwilling to admit it, that it is justifiable to go to certain measures of force to get the individual to respond. On the other hand, some may think that there should be more patience in the officer and that tricking the killer into saying the truth would be more effective. It is clear that some methods of torture are definitely not accepted by the majority, however there are some kinds of torture that aren’t as “frowned upon” by the public. An example can be found in Alan Dershowitz work

Water boarding, removal of limbs, drilling holes into the body, electric shock, and crucifixion. All of these are methods of a subject called torture, or the act of which one inflicts physical or psychological pain for purpose of degrading, intimidating, controlling, or getting information (“Torture”). Throughout history, these have all been reasons for torturing people; however, whether or not torture should still be allowed is a topic of debate. There is a long and detailed history of torture, along with numerous reasons people are tortured today, and survivors face a wide variety of mental and physical effects.

I am writing to inform you of the cruelty going on in the country of Iraq. I have been traveling the country as a photographer and I have managed to earn the trust of Iraqi soldiers who are performing acts of torture on prisoners. According to the Embassy of the Republic of Iraq, Iraq has one of the world’s oldest cultural histories, boasts a rich heritage and has a long reflected cultural diversity. Although Iraqis generally are a religious and conservative people, there are strong secular tendencies in the country. (See Fig. 1)

The ruthless segments are very effective in the process of torture because if you had a ten second scenario, basically, it is as if you had frozen a frame of time, like a snapshot, yet it multiples and repeats the same moment as the pain continues to intensify. When victory was announced about the penny flip, un was happy briefly, but it was not many minutes later when his happiness over getting the lower pain level stopped since he entered hell flames, without further ado.

Despite of the astounding leap of mankind from one innovation to another, one idea still remains consistent– that homosexuality is a taboo in society. Most people would identify homophobia as a medieval Christian attitude. Countless verses in the Catholic bible express prejudice, such as Leviticus 18:22. The verse states that, “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.” Clergymen often argue that homosexuality is a moral crisis that plagued the earth together with other abominable sins. Moreover, they reiterate that homosexuality violates the natural process of procreation, between husband and wife, which is mandated by God. On the other hand, some researchers in the mental health field suggest that homosexuality is a direct link to mental disorders, such as the study published by the American Psychiatric Association, entitled, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in the second edition.

Hung upside down by their feet, their throats are slit to drain the blood. This is an image that appears in most every slaughterhouse across the globe. John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel, Let the Right One In, similarly portrays these scenes of slaughter with one difference: the victims of slaughter are humans not animals. Set in the suburbs of Stockholm, Lindqvist’s novel tells of a young and severely bullied boy, Oskar, who befriends a centuries old child vampire named Eli. Because of her childlike body, Eli requires her older male companion, Håkan, to procure blood for her. As he hangs his victims by their feet and slits their throats to collect the blood, Håkan’s process of obtaining human blood is clearly evocative of contemporary Western practices of animal slaughter. However, the difference between Håkan’s slaughter of humans and contemporary animal slaughter is not merely the victims’ species but is, more importantly, the space in which these acts occur. Despite meat consumption’s widespread acceptance, meat production by means of slaughter is still visually disturbing and thus, in order to be socially tolerable, must not be seen. Indeed, since the 19th century, the slaughterhouse has been spatially located at the edges of urban space in order to render its violent actions socially invisible. What happens, then, when the slaughter occurs within the urban space as Håkan’s acts of slaughter do? By comparing animal slaughter to the novel’s scenes of human slaughter in terms

There are many things in life that are legal and moral in one culture but illegal and immoral in another. Cultures judge other cultures because they do not follow their own cultural beliefs, in a way they use their own culture as a measuring stick that all other cultures should measure up to, this idea is called ethnocentrism. It’s the belief that our own culture is normal. The concept of cultural relativism is to not judge the behavior of others using the standards of their own culture but that each culture must be judged and analyzed on its own terms according to its own culture. The view of ethnocentrism should only be used when the culture’s actions disturb ethics, morals and human rights.

To battle, the epidemic of honor killings demands understanding of what makes these murders unusual. Why are people unaware of honor killings?
