discuss Dictating Over Other Cultures

[Yama]

Do you have any moral or ethical rights to dictate over other cultures? The obvious answer would be no. But just look at some cultures, they allow men to marry multiple women, stop girls from going to school, treat some group of people as untouchables, or put restrictions on who you should marry. Now, answer the question do you have moral and ethical rights to meddle in someone else culture?

This is a very tricky issue. When should not dictate to people how to live their lives. Although I have seen some sharp practice in some cultures like denying girls the right to attend class. What I'm saying is that we can transform the culture and accept every single person’s rights.

The first thing to understand is what a culture is and it's the people's way of life. If you're not part of that people, their culture is not your business. As long as it's nothing barbaric, they have the right to practice it without any fear of intimidation.

It is actually a very sensitive problem, as cultural differences should be respected. In that way, we can actually create a better a community and can also effect cultural change easily without issues.

Well said! One should respect other cultural practices at all times. All people have their own traditions and it’s important to respect and understand them but not try to change that. Everyone should be allowed to practice their culture as they wish because I don't think it infringe on other people’s rights.

As far as it is the way of life that has worked well for them, you don't have any reason to tell them it is wrong. In my country, people that marry multiple wives and can afford it live much longer than people with single wives. That works for us and there is nothing anyone can tell me. No one should meddle with another's culture especially ones that have lasted for ages.
