> there are no objective standards by which we may judge one culture to be better than another no i disagree on this one. one culture (as in traditional institution) is superior to another, as long as it has capacity to propel its people to work towards self-advancement and survival, and as a consequence to virtue and happiness. and this is probablisitc and not decisive, as both a person of a inferior culture as well as a superior, can both respectively be great and bad, as all things boils down to the individual, and we are all free to choose.
