"Cultural practices do not represent straightforward or uniform accepted
ways of acting. Embedded in cultural practices are multiple and mixed
messages for people in different positions in the society--especially for
people in dominant or subordinate positions. Insofar as there are
different perspectives within a culture, the application of moral, social,
and personal judgments can result in varying approaches to the same
cultural practices. Therefore, there is more than one side to practices
pertaining to educational and occupational opportunities, as well as with
regard to matters like arranged marriages, polygamy, and divorce--to note
only a few examples. The different sides of cultural practices result in
cultures that involve not only harmonious relations, but also a good deal
of ambivalence, conflict, and struggle. Part of the ambivalence and
conflict arises because participants in cultures are both accepting and
critical of social arrangements."
