Cultural diversity derives from the fact that there are an unlimited number of alternative ways for social groups to satisfy their needs and fulfill their desires. Those traditional ways of living within a social group or culture take on the force of habit and custom. They are handed down from one generation to another. To the individuals in a given group they seem to be the ONLY way, or the only REASONABLE way, to do things. And these social customs sometimes have ethical implications. Social habits and customs answer questions like this:
How should marriage take place?Who should be allowed to marry,under what condi–tions,and with what ritual or ceremony?Once married what role should the male play?What role should the female play?Are multiple marriage partners possible?Is divorce possible?Under what conditions?
Who should care for the children?What should they teach the children as to proper and improper ways to act?When children do not act as they are expected to act,how should they be treated?
When should children be accepted as adults? When should they be considered old enough to be married? Who should they be allowed to marry?
When children develop sensual and sexual desires, how should they be allowed to act? With whom, if anyone, should they be allowed to engage in sexual exploration and discovery? What sexual acts are considered acceptable and wholesome? What sexual acts are considered perverted or sinful?
How should men and women dress? To what degree should their body be exposed in public? How is nudity treated? How are those who violate these codes treated?
