Introduction
Political theories are directly related to political science and provide a particular understanding of the essence of individual mechanisms. Such approaches, in most cases, explain precisely how politics and its actors should work in different situations. In particular, all current open currents are primarily based on individual people and some of their statements regarding certain aspects of politics. Political theories are often crucial from a scientific point of view to explain aspects of certain socio-political events.
Discussion
Among such theories, the most important are Cultural Relativism, Subjectivism, Ideal-observer, and Supernaturalism. Each of these currents can objectively explain certain situations and why the consequences for a person or a community were specific (Zoshak & Dew, 2021). In particular, it is essential to consider such currents in individual societies, which often differ and have nothing in common. In particular, such winds perform an important task, primarily concerning normalizing social situations or unique political processes. Through the theories mentioned above, it is possible to trace how society was formed and how such functions affect the individual.
Cultural Relativism is primarily a way of making it impossible to compare different cultures. This trend emphasizes the importance of understanding and accepting other cultures. Cultures have specific characteristics, which very often relate to the direction of a person. In particular, certain countries affect women and their rights, so Cultural Relativism needs to promote the tendency to respect and support such a culture, regardless of how it would work in society (Zoshak & Dew, 2021). That is, considering the situation with sex on the beach, both people should first be interested in the traditions and rules of the country in which they are. Due to cultural relativism, if they looked at Dubai, they would understand that the actions they are taking are unacceptable not only from the point of view of political currents but in general from all possible points of view.
Subjectivism is an essential part of political currents, as it allows specific contexts to understand and reveal certain vital aspects of an individual. In particular, a necessary feature of such a current is primarily the personal experience of a person and his perception of himself in society (Zoshak & Dew, 2021). For both genders, Subjectivism is needed from the point of view of their identification and inclusion in history. In this case, the two convicts in Dubai are not very guilty because they did not know what their actions entailed. In particular, their experience is unique and essential to broadcast to society.
The ideal-observer theory manifests itself in being able to analyze certain political events neutrally. Thus, it is essential for such a current to, first of all, reject one’s views and principles to draw qualitative conclusions for oneself. Such a thing is vital to be able to correctly interpret political events, as well as successfully make decisions (Zoshak & Dew, 2021). When considering the influence on men and women, in this case, it is worth understanding that in both cases, a person must reject his principles. Still, his codes must be based on his article.
Considering the Supernaturalist theory, it is worth noting that this part of ethical currents is primarily based on God’s word. According to this, the only meaningful resource and essential rule are God, who guides people. In particular, God’s word determined all the frameworks of morality and ways of life (Zoshak & Dew, 2021). According to this, a man as such has a high status in this theory, but a woman is somewhat lower because she bears many responsibilities to gain positivity for herself. In particular, considering the situation with Dubai, a woman can receive more negativity from the point of view of theory because the image of a woman is vital for religions, particularly supernaturalists (Zoshak & Dew, 2021). In any case, both people will be guilty from this current point of view because God disapproves of sexual relations; that is why both the man and the woman are guilty.
All these political currents put men and women in the same situations and try not to tie their views to gender. It is essential to understand that these currents do not always have such correspondence; it depends on which society applies them. In most cases, supernaturalists can pay attention to what a man or woman should do. Considering the situation with what happened in Dubai, it is evident that theories were most likely used since most of the rules that apply to Dubai are determined by the prevalent religion.
In this context, legal acts such as sex in public places are not prohibited in Dubai. However, such actions primarily raise questions about the morality and ethics of such people. It is essential that, even though this is not a legally certified act, due to the violation of social norms, it is very often possible to receive a punishment. In particular, the main problem in this situation is that people who committed a sexual act on the beach first disrespected the country they are in and what rules and traditions exist in society. Suppose we consider the punishment given to the people the right legal step.
In particular, to consider everything about ethical currents and contexts, the people who had sex on the beach and the people who made the accusations are wrong. If certain currents are tied here, it turns out that the two parties would not have the opportunity to condemn and analyze each other’s actions. These people come from different backgrounds, especially culturally and religiously diverse. Thus, condemnation should not come from any of these parties. However, according to ethical rules, being in the territory of another culture, one must follow that society’s rules because this can very often lead to certain misunderstandings and negative consequences.
Ethics and law have always been different concepts that have only a tiny part in common. That is important to note most countries use ethical rules to understand the situation. Relative to ethics, a person coming to another country must support the laws and culture of the land in which they arrived. All this is explained by respecting others and the space in which they are necessary. When considering laws, they are primarily used to control society, as opposed to ethical rules designed to uphold human morality.
Considering the main difference between the law and ethics, primarily created the first one for the general preservation of order in society. Instead, ethics is based on moral principles and aimed at resolving various ethical issues. Ethics help people decide what is right or wrong for humanity. Thus, the situation with sex on the beach is primarily condemned from a moral point of view.
Still, ethics will usually win in specific regions and countries between ethics and law. Accordingly, it is worth considering in more detail how it works in different contexts and how it is worth understanding the various concepts included in the concept of ethical morality. In particular, the first important concept is ‘Should’; such a word is used in ethics to explain or advise something to a person. The meaning of this concept is not negatively colored, mainly to clarify certain duties for specific people. Very often, ‘Should’ is used to explain things from a personal point of view or experience. This word is not negatively colored and has a more intimate character.
At that time, ‘Ought To’ is mainly used in matters of public opinion. This kind of concept is aimed at explaining the rules of moral actions but in separate environments. The word does not have a negative meaning, but it mainly operates within the framework of society (Zoshak & Dew, 2021). Thus, the main difference between should and ought is that these two words should be used in different contexts and have different meanings that should be understood and correctly applied when discussing ethical rules. Considering the situation with the beach, it is worth adding that will describe the actions taken there from society’s point of view (Zoshak & Dew, 2021). Therefore, if we talk about what ethical rules will apply there, they will all be used through ‘Ought To.’ Although their experiences were personal, the actions of the man and woman had a clear impact on society and public opinion.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is worth saying that first of all, it is always worth understanding the societies and their rules when you are there. In particular, it is essential to follow all the rules and laws because it can end badly and have a bad ending. Two people did wrong because of their ignorance, so it is crucial to understand the cultural space where a person is.
