This week we have been discussing our beliefs about cultures being valid and equal. I realized that after discussing and seeing more points of view, I don't believe what I used to. I used to think that because people are equal, that cultures are equal as well. I thought that even though cultures are different they are equal and valid. There are so many different things that make up cultures, they can't all be equal. It depends on what aspect you you refer to, but the one I would like to mention is education. There are many cultures that have better options and resources for education. Therefore, not all cultures are equal.
Validity...
Even though there are so many cultures that do things differently than others, they are all valid. Everyone has their own way of doing things. If one thinks that something is great, another may not see it like that. Everyone is different and does things for different reasons. When we take the time to understand more of why people do the things they do, it makes it easier to not judge. Even though it is not right, it is natural to judge and categorize people. The best part is that, in the end, it will ultimately be up to Heavenly Father to judge.
