Do you think some cultures are better than others? If so, what does that justify?

Question

For example, European Colonial Culture vs. Native American Culture or Oppressive Islamic Culture vs. Modern Western Culture?

Answer 1

Presently the Japanese culture may be the 'best'.
At least people in Japan respect each others and others property.
I haven't seen that anywhere else ( the West, India,Africa,Muslim world,Asia just to mention the places I have been).

Answer 2

All cultures have good and bad points. It's difficult to say "I'm better" except for isolated topics such as genital mutilation (still done in Africa and the Middle East). I think some cultures are more evolved and have learned from their mistakes. The American culture is interesting in that it is so broad and is very recent (400 years total vs. thousands for other cultures). BUT of course there were native Americans, native Alaskans and native Hawaiians here first, and their cultures are fascinating in their own right. Who knows how they would have developed had they not been overtaken?

Answer 3

dude. islamic culture isnt oppressive. maybe you should get a passport and travel the world and actually see it for what it is before you comment on it like that or use such a harsh word.

Answer 4

No, I think our differences make use interesting and not superior. I think you probably already have a negative opinion of another other culture. This is normal however, do not limit your self to broad generalizations of any culture explore every aspect of each one.

Answer 5
