compare/ contrast

The two articles are read were "While I Was Sleeping" and "Moral Disagreement". When I finished reading both articles, I found that they were similar, but more different. In the "Moral Disagreement", it talks about how social and moral norms impact people everyday. As I recently learned in my sociology class, the author includes that the traditions and way of life of other cultures should not be considered wrong just because we don't do them. In my sociology class, my professor described this by saying other cultures think eating cheese is wrong and view it as eating moldy milk. But we consider eating cheese normal. This suggests that it is important to be unbiased about other social norms.

In the article "While I Was Sleeping", the author describes how many jobs are moving around the world. In this article he describes the world as being flat. To me, this meant that there was no diversity through the world and the cultures are merging together. This is different in the other article because this one talks about cultures forming together. He also said this was both positive and negative. I think this is more positive because we all live on the same earth and it is important to build relationships with everyone not only in our own culture, but everywhere else as well. I disagree in that the world is becoming one culture. I have traveled many places and each place has been completely different from the next.
