JUDGING+OTHERS

__**JUDGING OTHER CULTURES BY MODERN STANDARDS**__
===**Is it appropriate to judge other cultures (either modern or ancient) by the standard set by one's own culture? Why or why not? What is culture? What influence does geography have on the development of cultures? Why should a wide variety of cultures be considered the norm instead of the exception? Are some cultures better than others, in your opinion? Why or why not? What does the existence of many cultures today and through time say about the flexibility, inventiveness, and resourcefulness of ordinary human beings?**===

1. It is not appropriat to judge other cultures because people are used to a certain culture but it doesn't mean that all cultures should be the same.(jti)

2. Culture is a set of solutions that a particular people devised to solve everyday problems. Since everyone is different, culture cannot be judged by comparing with other cultures.(jal)

3. Modern cultures differ from ancient cultures in many ways. Throughout history a huge impact on the culture of a society has been the technology present during that time period. It is definitely unfair to judge ancient cultures because their technology was dramatically different than modern technology is. (agr)
