Don't judge a book by its cover

The most important part of any culture is unity and deciding to go behind that culture in the face of adversity. A culture can not be successful if everyone does not support it at all times. If there is some change, for example a group of people get colonized, they need to stay true to their roots in order to keep it successful. A culture can not be successful without everyone supporting it. If people abandon their culture in the face of adversity, then it will fail. In the case of capitalism vs communism, I think it is right that the statement is right that they judge each other incorrectly. Without understanding a culture, by witnessing it, it is hard to judge it properly. Nancy Snyderman said in her talk when she mentioned the 5 year old girl's mom who wanted her daughter to die than live a horrible life when she found out the girl's leg had to be amputated. Many people would have found this inhumane, but without actually experiencing their culture, you can't judge them.
