Understanding moral issues from an anthropological perspective faces two main challenges:one is e-quating morality with societal tendencies,and the other is moral relativism,reflecting the research difficulties brought about by the blurring of social/cultural boundaries under globalization.The moral turn in anthropology research over the past two decades has responded to these challenges by exploring how morality becomes"problematized"in the field of anthropology.It reflects on the limitations of social interpretation frameworks and the crisis of expressing cul-tural differences in the context of globalization.It focuses on the uniqueness of morality and the richness of people's moral lives,understanding morality as"free reflective practice"within social-historical-cultural contexts,emphasi-zing its subjectivity,reflectiveness,and diversity.This represents an awakening to human subjectivity within the aca-demic field and among anthropology research subjects.
