Ethnical-Cocooning

Ethnical-Cocooning, coined by Reuel-Azriel Lé Flore, is a transformative process whereby an ethnic group breaks away from their native country and heritage, and undergoes an incubation period to emerge as a new, hybrid ethnic group. This process involves assimilating into the new host country, territory, and society, and acculturating by denouncing the ancestral homeland through deprogramming. It is a form of cultural metamorphosis, in which an ethnic group sheds its old identity and embraces a new one, while preserving aspects of their original culture.

As a theory, Ethnical-Cocooning suggests that the transformation of ethnic identity is a natural process of cultural evolution, which is driven by the forces of globalization and migration. It proposes that the hybridization of cultures, resulting from this transformation, can lead to the emergence of new and innovative cultural expressions, which can enrich and diversify society.
My family's experience of ethnical-cocooning began when we moved to a new country and had to adapt to a new culture while also trying to maintain our heritage.

Ethical Monogamy

Ethical monogamy is the practice of having only one relationship at a time that is carried out in an honest, authentic, genuine, caring and respectful manner.
In contrast to 'ethical non-monogamy' (and perhaps 'irresponsible monogamy'), people are emotionally and sexually involved with only one person at a time and have a strong sense of responsibility for how they impact one another's lives.

Ensuring both individuals are in a state where they feel fully informed about the others current feelings and status of their relationship is an important aspect of ethical monogamy. Regular check-in's and conversations are used to help both partners feel secure and healthy in their relationship.

This term has risen out of an era of disconnected, detached and damaging dating and relationship formats. If a relationship were to turn into an 'unethical state' or damaging place for either party, there is no longer an expectation that the relationship should continue in any way, shape or form.

ethically dissimilar

A stupid argument cited by liberals in order to deny liberal media bias.
When the media harps on Mitt Romney's dog but fails to report on Barack Obama's brother, this is not media bias because these two things are ethically dissimilar.

When the media talks about George W. Bush mispronouncing words but ignores Barack Obama saying there are 57 states, this is not media bias because these two things are ethically dissimilar.
