Cultural Relativism. Cultural relativism asserts that every culture has
its own set of customs and beliefs, and that culture must be
understood by the standards and values of the people within that

2. culture. Anthropologists think that things that might seem cruel or
irrational in our own culture must be seen through the lens of cultural
relativity, and that all cultures have practices or beliefs that can be
seen by others as repugnant or incomprehensible.
After reading the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights, explain whether
you think that cultural relativism can coexist with the idea of
universal human rights. Is it possible for anthropologists to promote
human rights without imposing, for example, their own Western
values and ideas of human rights?

Locating Scholarly Sources. This assignment is intended to help you
familiarize yourself with using the Ashford University Library for
anthropological research, in preparation for your Final Research
Paper. You will also become familiar with identifying the thesis
statement in articles.
Similar to how different fields of study use distinct methodologies to
collect data, each scholastic field also utilizes specific databases to
locate scholarly articles. For this assignment, you will be locating
articles and texts from a variety of databases that are all commonly
used in anthropological research. In addition to being able to locate
articles, it is very important to be able to identify the thesis statements
of the articles or texts to make sure they will be useful in your
research.

4. To begin, click on the “Article Selector” quiz in the left navigation
menu of your online classroom. This will randomly assign you three
articles, and provide you with the proper APA citation. After you
have been assigned the articles, make sure to acknowledge that you
have received each of these articles and click “submit.” You may
want to write these down in a separate document, but you can also
view these in your Gradebook at any time. You will not be able to
access the Assignment until you have used the Article Selector.

Rough Draft of Final Research Paper. To ensure that you are properly
prepared for your Final Research Paper in this course, you must
complete a draft that includes:
a. Select a topic from the following list:
Body Art and Ornamentation
Child Rearing Practices
Healthcare practices
The use of music or dance as a form of political protest/music or
dance as a reflection of cultural
issues, values and beliefs

6. Educational practices

Alternative gender roles
Alternative topics are possible, but must be approved by the
instructor at least a week before the
Week Three draft is due.
A thesis that reflects the requirements of the Final Research Paper.
A properly formatted reference page.
After you have decided upon a topic, the next step is to begin to do
your research. Since you will be comparing this topic across three
different cultures, it may be helpful to brainstorm a list of different
cultures that you are interested in researching. Utilizing the same
databases that you searched in the Week Two Assignment, conduct
key word searches to locate the scholarly sources you will be using to
aid in writing this paper. If you feel that you need a little help in
beginning this research, please view the Generating Search Terms
tutorial and/or the Finding Full Text Articles tutorial in the library.
Please keep in mind, that even though you are only required to use
three scholarly sources from the library, you will initially want to find
more than that to ensure that you are using the best three articles for
your topic and cultures.

7. After completing your research, now is a good time to compile your
sources in a reference page. Do not worry if you do not end up using
one of the sources in your Final Research Paper; you can always
remove any sources that you do not use later.
Once you have read through the sources you have located, you should
now be able to write a thesis statement that reflects the requirements
of the Final Research Paper. For help on creating the thesis statement,
please visit the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Writing
Center.
While not required for this assignment, it may be helpful to first
outline your thoughts to aid you in organizing how you will present
the information in your paper. If you are concerned about how to
successfully integrate the sources that you found, please view the
Incorporating Sources tutorial in the library. As you are incorporating
the information from your sources, think back on the Plagiarism Quiz
and the Article Selector Quiz to make sure that you are properly citing

Throughout this course, we have learned that culture is a powerful
tool that allows humans to adapt to their own unique environments. In
order to better understand cultural diversity, comparisons between
cultures are often used to explain the similarities and differences
across societies. In order to demonstrate your understanding of the
adaptive nature of culture, you will prepare a research paper that
requires you to think about what people are doing, why they are doing
what they do, and how it ties in with their environment.
In this paper you will be comparing and contrasting one of the
following topics in three cultures (other than your own), providing an
analysis of the similarities and differences, and an explanation of why
these differences might exist.
In your rough draft you selected a topic from the following list:
Body Art and Ornamentation
Child Rearing Practices
Healthcare practices
The use of music or dance as a form of political protest/music or
dance as a reflection of cultural issues, values and beliefs
Educational practices
Elderly care
Body Language and Proxemics
Rites of Passage
Conflict resolution

31. Marriage practices
Alternative gender roles
Alternative topics are possible, but must be approved by the instructor
at least a week before the Week
Three draft is due.
In Week Three, you conducted your research and completed a Rough
Draft of the Final Research Paper. You have
also received feedback from your instructor on this draft. It is
important at this stage that you carefully take the time to review the
feedback that was provided. If based on this feedback, you feel the
need to conduct any additional research, now is the time to visit the
Ashford University Library and find additional sources.
Expand your rough draft into a seven to eight page research paper that
contains the following components:
a. A discussion of how three cultures (other than your own) approach
the topic, including specific
ethnographic examples.
A compare and contrast analysis of the similarities and differences in
how the three cultures approach the topic, from a culturally relativistic
perspective.
An explanation of why these differences or similarities might exist.
Take extra care as you are writing this paper to ensure that you have
given proper consideration to all of the notes that were provided to
you by your instructor. You will also want to allow plenty of time to
proof-read the Final Research Paper and double check for formatting

32. and the use of proper citations. If you are concerned about plagiarism,
please utilize the Plagiarism Flow Chart, found in your online course.
The paper must be seven to eight pages in length and formatted
according to APA style. You must use at least three scholarly sources
from the Ashford University Library to support your claims. Cite your
sources within the text of your paper and on the reference page. For
information regarding APA, including samples and tutorials, visit the
Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning Resources tab on
the left navigation toolbar, in your online course.
