I would like to say that this video was very shocking, and I cannot believe girls are put through this type of pain. I do not like to judge other cultures as they have their own beliefs, but this was hard to watch. I am mother of six girls and I do not think I would be able to support this procedure. I did some research and female mutilation primary happens in Africa. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 200 million women are affected by Female Genital Mutilation((FGM) worldwide.
If I was the nurse working the day of the scenario I would personally choose to not participate. I would understand the risk of losing my job, but I could simply not participate in such procedure. Part of me wants to contradict my decision just because as nurses we must understand that people do not have the same cultures as we do. Cultures and beliefs should not be judge and as nurses we have to accept the patient’s decisions even when we do not agree.
What would a subjective moral relativist say about what this doctor is doing? Do you agree with the subjective moral relativist? Why or why not? A subjective moral relativist would probably not agree or disagree just because there is no right from wrong in cultures, especially those we are not part off. Yes, female genital mutilation sounds horrible but to others it is a belief and without it they feel as they have betrayed their customs. I personally would not agree with the subjective relativist just because I do not agree with the pain these girls put their body into. There is no right or wrong simply because it is not my culture.
Examine what a cultural moral relativist would say here. Do you agree with the cultural relativist? Why or why not? A cultural moral relativist would probably agree to this procedure. Cultural relativists follow whatever norms are okay with society. So, for example the doctor is part of the culture and he has the same beliefs as the patient he will go along with the procedure. Cultural relativists are based more on what society says is normal. If society says it is okay to perform Female Genital Mutilation them that is the norm to follow.
Name and evaluate general criticisms of cultural relativism as being the wrong moral approach. I believe there is no right or wrong in this scenario I simply cannot judge others culture like if it was my own. It is important that we take in mind that no culture is better than the other (Rachel 2019).
Is there an objective moral truth about any of the possible actions by the nurse and/or doctor in this case? Why or why not? Honestly, I don’t know if there is a moral truth to the actions of the doctor and nurse in this case. The doctor had the same beliefs as the parents of the girl getting the procedure, so he saw no wrong, but the nurse did not and that created a conflict. If this scenario was done in Africa where it is normal and not wrong there would be no conflict, because society has made it normal. Yes, female genital mutilation is horrible and probably something we would not want done to us; but this is not our culture and we cannot judge or say what is wrong from right.
