Incorrectly Comparing Culture
Longevity is the only trait for measuring the success of a culture. Strong culture will be passed down from generation in traditions and other forms, while weak cultures will disappear over time. A strong culture will persevere through rough periods of time and continue to live on, while others may fall to influence from other cultures. It is wrong for anyone to judge culture that is not their own. A foreigner cannot possibly have the same appreciation for culture native to a group or place that they are not familiar with. Some aspects of culture may seem ludicrous to foreigners but are sensible to indigenous peoples. It is fairer to judge other people on their political, economic and scientific facts because those are not up to interpretation. There is no bias in facing facts but there is opinion in judging culture.
