Could some one help me examine my own culture (African American) from an etic (outsider’s) perspective and another culture (Japanese) from an emic (insider’s) perspective to demonstrate an understanding of cultural relativism and examine misconceptions and ethnocentric beliefs concerning each of these cultures. Keep the distinction between cultural relativism and moral relativism in mind. Even if you do not personally agree with a cultural practice, demonstrate an understanding of the practice in its cultural context. Avoid opinionated or judgmental language
