Culture vs moral

People believe in what they experience. This thing is common for anybody but there are things that can influence how they see things. Culture is one of the factor that may affect how you see things. And the other thing is universal moral view, sharing of everyone. There are some point in time that people can see other culture as immoral. In my opinion it is wrong to say any culture way as immoral. You might think it’s wrong but it’s right for them. Just like in Mr. Mark’s example of living in Tonga. It might seem as immoral at first, the hierarchy, but as time passed the environment will eventually make you to be used to it. So it’s wrong to think that other culture way is immoral because every culture is different and not the same so it’s not fair to judge others.

In other words I experience cross cultural things that made me think that culture may not be universal. For example in Chinese tradition, you need to respect your upper class men. But throughout my high school career I saw some lower class men respected some upperclassmen but some I just treated as their own friends. So in reality I question that my own culture might not be so universal because in this school, underclass men would also disrespect upper class men.
