Debate! Female Circumcision
Debate!
I have been having a very difficult time over my opinion on this subject and would like to hear what you think. So…
The Debate:
What should be the anthropological standpoint on female circumcision (also known as female genital mutilation): should an anthropologist show culture relativism or should they view it as going against human rights so it should be stopped?
If you don’t know much on the subject, here is a decent site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_circumcision
Please respect others opinions. It’s alright if your opinion on the subject is indecisive or you think both sides are correct.
