Ethics

A. Becoming a man of different culture.

- Masculinity (also known as manhood or virility) refers to the characteristics,


habits, and roles associated with boys and men. Masculinity can be viewed as a social
conceptual framework, and there is indication that some masculine behaviors are affected by
both biological and cultural factors. It is debatable whether masculinity is influenced biologically
or morally. It differs from the biological male sex definition in that both men and women can
display masculine features. Masculinity norms vary across cultures and traditions. In different
countries or culture they have ways on how to become a man, were in some culture it involves
painful rites. Some results in injury or death.

B. The truth about female genital mutilation.

- Female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C) is a breach of human rights that


occurs on a daily basis all over the world. As per the World Health Organization, FGM/C
“comprises all processes that involve selective or total removal of the external female
genitalia, or even other harm to the female genital areas, for non-medical factors.” FGM/C is
conducted without general anaesthesia, and quite often involves mothers and other women
in the group to constrain the children. FGM/C is a particularly heinous type of discrimination
against women, as it involves both physically and mentally abuse. It is also a violation of the
rights of children. FGM/C is usually performed on minors, usually between the ages of 4 and
12, but it can also be forced on infants and older girls. FGM provides no health benefits and
frequently results in lengthy extreme consequences. Extreme pain, protracted hemorrhage,
illnesses, sexual dysfunction, and even death are examples of medical complications. It may
also increase the risk of HIV transmission. Women who have had genital mutilation may
have difficulties during pregnancy, such as postoperative complications, fetal death, and
perinatal mortality. Psychological consequences can range from a young girl losing faith in
her caretakers to long-term anxiety and depression as a woman.

Guide question:

1. Why universal values are necessary for human survival.

- The universal values are clearly apparent that we require for our survival as humans
because they inform our opinions, behavior, and words. Universal values help us to
grow in our daily lives as dignified individuals, as well as to establish our skills, talents,
and human dignity.
