A Modest Proposal: A Plea for Making Value Judgements Abroad
Abramowitz, Norman
Social Science Record, 14, 3, 19-20, Spr 77
Describes the attitude that value judgments made about other cultures are outrageous and recommends that critics consider these guidelines: understanding is not acceptance; judgment is not prejudice; and difference is not necessarily salutary. Often evaluated are textbooks, developing nations, and political systems. (Author/DB)
