We overstep similar boundaries in different ways in our own culture.
What Im saying is all cultures have ways of imposing their own beliefs within a culture, so how does imposing beliefs all a sudden become wrong when we start reaching outside one culture and into another?
Because the way I see it, its not right (idealistically speaking) but if we already do it, and they do, hows it become any more wrong just because we want to do it to them? or them to us?
The way I personally see it. The culture with the best belief system in the end will survive. So if we try to impose our culture at the same time they try to impose theirs on us, and we end their culture, doesnt that just mean ours was better to begin? If you look bad in the day at how greek and roman cultures ended you can also see specific reasons why. We might not see them today in our own culture but time eventually reveals all these downfalls.
I say may the best culture win. Thats the way its always been.
