"I just don't understand why any woman would agree with or support the idea
of female genital modification—of whatever kind, I don't even want to hear any
more about it," said Maureen. "The practice is barbaric, and not to mention it's
often dangerous to the health of the woman!" Her friend Fred just looked at
her, and responded, "I know it's hard to really wrap your mind around, but it
might be easier to understand if you took the time to listen to why the practice
still exists based on the explanations given by the people from within that
culture." "Some parts of our culture are just as odd, no? Just think of all of the
things that probably seem strange to outsiders about our own culture—what
about plastic surgery, tanning, wearing makeup, etc.?" he finished. Fred is

often did not for non-western cultures.
-Quality of life measurements were more open-ended and culturally relevant
than standard of living measurements. - correct answer ✔all of these
