What should we do when we are confronted with other cultures?

"No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive."  -Ghandi

“Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.” -Goethe


Culture is the sole common factor we share within the world. Every group, nomadic or civilized, share a specific kind of a culture. Even though an enormous difference between cultures have divided us into different groups, we have learnt to set aside the differences and unite as one.
When we are confronted with other cultures, we shoud do as others have done so long time ago. We should set aside our difference even when it contradicts to your belief and try to unify your culture to their's. Some factors such as language, customs, traditions might look faulty and awful, but we should respect one's culture since we are all brothers and sisters of one another.

After all,
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

aren't we all from the same God?
