This is a great question for sociologist's.
Every society has it's own set of values and norms. USA says you have to be 21 to drink alcohol, the death penalty is accepted in some states, we have set speed limits, we believe rape is a punishable act, we believe (some of us) that women are equal to men...and so it goes.
Their are places in the world that are polar opposites to what we "believe" in. It doesn't make one society more right, it is just what that society has set up as "rules"
That is why when a christian says we get our moral compass from gawd it's a load of shit. NO, we get it from the society were we live... stupid
