Acknowledging the tension of our differences, when it comes to our entanglements within the overarching polar bear management and monitoring apparatuses, rather than attempting to erase them, aligns with the principles of ethical engagement. Willing partners are to ‘appropriately, correctly, and respectfully acknowledge the "that's me" and the "that's you" of their differentiated worldviews' if they are to enter into ethical relationships with each other (Institute for Integrative Science & Health, 2013b). Such acknowledgement of differences enables parties to respects the integrity of each voice and avoid 'cultural confusion'.
