Episode 17 - Honor and Diversity
/

What does it mean to “honor diversity”? Joseph Shaules and Ishita Ray explore this hot-button issue: What is an “honor culture” and how is it a double-edged sword? Is social media the new village square in which our moral values are under public scrutiny? What is the diversity that we are honoring? Ishita shares personal stories from India where the pressure to live up to moral ideals can be positive or destructive. We discuss research into the embodied nature of cultural values and how honoring diversity requires building bridges of understanding.
