We have talked a lot about different cultures and the cultural relativism of Herskovits and Benedict. I'm not so sure that all the talk about different cultures is relevant to the main issues of tolerance, criticism, and interference.

The important point is that the world contains groups and individuals with different moral principles. It doesn't matter whether they divide nicely into different cultures. As a matter of fact, I don't think they do. Right here in our own culture we have people who accept different moral principles. All of the issues about tolerance, criticism, and interference arise within our culture just as they do between cultures.
