Should people from another culture accept or engage in
behaviors 

they find morally wrong?

 This is a hard question to answer.  One morning, I was listening to a radio station and the show was centered on this woman’s organization in Afghanistan.  This organization’s goal is to find ways to empower woman. Because of political, religious, and cultural aspects, the ultimate objective of this organization cannot be achieved instantly.  Furthermore, because of the Taliban’s influence, women are not permitted to become educated or independent without severe or deathly consequences.  So, the organization decided that in order to provide women help they develop programs that assist women to work within their home environment.  The job provided was sewing .The organization started an informal manufacturing for clothing.  The organization would provide material to be sewn and pay women a fee per article. The rate was extremely low and not equivalent to the labor that was inputted.  However, this way the society would not be bothered and women can gain economic freedom thru employment within in their own home.  The organization hoped with economic freedom, women would be able to progress to enjoy other freedoms later.

 The reason I listing this story is because, I personally feel angry and object to the way fashion industry exploit these laborers.  I want for US companies to manufacturer clothing fairly.  However, if it was not for these unfair practices would the women involve in the above program be given the same opportunity for independence.

So, in my opinion, yes, at times you may have to accept and engage in behaviors that we find morally wrong or ignorant.  But no, if I am permitted a choice.
