Agreed. Do you have an improved version that overcomes
the problem of conflicting values in cross-cultural exchanges?
I am not personally inclined to offer my respect to any culture's
mores simply because "that's their way". Many cultures have
"ways" of hurting and denigrating their members (especially the
women, but males too). But we've already discussed this issue
fairly recently, so I'll stop here.
