And why would anyone think that there has to be a "standard".

The earth is a big place.

The point I am trying to make is that everyone thinks that "their" culture is the right one and that it makes sense. And that's all and well. But it should not mean that someone else's culture is necessarily "bad". It is just different.

In order to understand the culture of another nation, it is important to understand what influenced their culture and not judge it by our culture or history.

That's all I was trying to point out.
