It would be very unwise to dismiss another culture's customs on the basis of morals. But it is unfair to say that our system of morals is "too rigid." Cultures, even cultures with common histories (American/British/Australian), have huge differences in morals. Americans for instance are deeply bothered by human sexuality, but less bothered by mediated displays of violence. The opposite is true in Britain.
Maybe each culture's system of morals is "too rigid," too unwilling to accept the moral differences in neighboring cultures.
What is the appropriate action when two cultures' morals clash on fundamental principles?
