Professor Mary Midgely in her article “Trying Out One’s New Sword” (The White Text, pp. 34 – 37) criticizes a position which “many people theoretically favour” (page 34. paragraph one) namely: “denying that we can ever understand any culture except our own well enough to make judgements about it (page 34, paragraph one). Do you agree with Professor Midgley or not? Are cross cultural judgements possible? Why or why not? Given reasons in support of your answer.

General Advice and Tips.

1) Be sure to explain to your reader the context of the question for example: what is the problem of cross-cultural judgement? What is ‘moral isolationism?’

2) Be sure to take a position and argue for it. Do not settle for “some people believe that you can make cross cultural judgements and some people do not.”

3) Be sure to argue for the position that you take. Do not merely conclude dogmatically. Give reasons, provide examples to support your case. Drawing upon the arguments in the lectures (opinion-based relativism/cross cultural relativism) and the readings and the Q and A will be helpful here

4) What would you say to someone who disagreed with your position? What might their argument be? How would you critically respond to it?

5) Lastly: yes, you may employ the first-person pronoun. As in: “I will argue that…”

6) Be sure to cite any work that you reference in your essay. Yes, you may employ outside sources, but this is not required.
