Paper Summary:

The paper argues that our approach towards others is based upon the prejudices that we have internalized through an uncritical acceptance of a worldview that has been imposed upon us by culture and upbringing. This argument is illustrated through an analysis of the differing cultural attitudes towards homosexuality, ultimately demonstrating that "morals" are not based upon absolute ethical principles as much as they are upon cultural ones.

From the Paper:

"The most common method of treating homosexuals is known as the "aversion technique" (Feldman and McCulloh 10). According to this, the homosexual patient is asked to think about something that is sexually stimulating to him. Then when he is sexually aroused, he is given electric shocks. Another way is to give patients certain chemicals that make them feel very sick and when they are vomiting, they are shown pictures of men (Feldman and McCulloh 10). Therefore, based on the wrong assumption that homosexuals are psychologically disturbed, they are treated medically worse than animals, and their basic rights as human beings are violated."
