So this week we talked about cultures and flaws maybe in their practices and if some cultures or values are better or more right than another. It's kind of a political topic and it's hard because every one is so bent on being politically correct and accepting everyone and encouraging everyone to do whatever they want. And I think THAT is where our problem lies. There ARE eternal truths, actual morals really do exist and some things are wrong! I don't need to convince anyone that murder is wrong but we all know it is! The other wrong things have simply slipped out of mind and into some made up grey area that may or may not be okay to most people. It's a simple fact that there are eternal truths. I am not a debater, I am not good with words so my trying to convince anyone of that would be a waste of time but I believe that with everything that I am. On another note, in class we talked about immigrant families and how hard their lives are and how immigrating has effected their family, their roles, and their culture. I kind of felt that the lecture was redundant because we read an article on the topic then came to class and didn't really learn anything. And this also was a politically charged topic and we didn't discuss any of the politics so I was kinda stewing all class. My husband is a PoliSci major so it's hard not to think about politics now. The whole topic was on illegal immigrants. So ya know I kinda was turned off by that in the first place. But all in all the whole cultural validity was an interesting topic.
On a completely unrelated topic, I am having a TON of fun with that GenoPro program, it's funny I never that that I would be excited by genealogy or anything but this is seriously awesome! :D
About Me
I'm a twenty-something who is pretty much average everything. I am a college graduate. I am interested in a lot of things (music, business, crafts, diy, fashion, food, etc.). I like having adventures. I am a Christian, LDS to be exact. I play the fiddle. My family is awesome (and crazy). I am married to the most perfect husband in the world. My husband looks like Prince Harry. My feet hurt all the time. My eyes turn green when I cry. blah blah blah that's about it.
What a great point you make about not having to convince others that murder is wrong and this is so true! I think that to ever say that cultures are ever better than another because I believe that each one is so beautiful and unique and contribute to the beauty that is being an individual. Although the idea of individualism has become rampant. Well I am so excited that you love GenoPro! I might recommend breaking your thoughts up into several paragraphs for better flow! You are doing great work!
