Does humanities help identify similarities and differences between cultures around the world

Social Studies
1 answer:
strojnjashka [21]3 years ago
4 0
Absolutely. Studies and research help in understanding other cultures, accepting the difference, while minimizing ethnocentrism. It also showcases how different cultures may actually share similarities. It supports acceptance as the goal of humanities is to highlight differences without expressing preference for any. (no one culture is better than another - they are just different), Nonetheless, it aids in make people understand why a group of people own certain value (e.g.; by looking at their history).

Anthropologists have found that the incest taboo is a cultural universal, though the relations classified as incest vary across
omeli [17]

The incest taboo is a universal rule, that is, it is present in all human societies for which there is an ethnographic record. It consists in prohibiting the occurrence of sexual and marital relations between close relatives, as occurs between parents and children and siblings. Its existence would not have resulted from genetic problems, as many imagine, but, above all, from socio-cultural issues, such as the need for social relations guided by reciprocity and alliance between families. If it were a prohibitive rule determined biologically, there would certainly be a taboo of incest among non-human primates, felines, canids, cattle, etc. Therefore, kinship is a relationship constructed socially and culturally, as it happens, just to exemplify, between parents and adopted children.

The recognition and classification of relatives varies from one society to another and there are the most complex rules on incest. An example of this is society the father's brother is called the uncle, the paternal uncle. In certain indigenous societies he is also considered a father and, therefore, his children are brothers (not cousins) of his brother's children. In such cases, the recognition of who is a brother implies knowing with which relatives it is forbidden to have sexual and marital relations. There is, however, the registration of marriage between brothers in ancient Egyptian royalty and among the Incas, among others, but they are exceptions to the rule.
