I do know that countries who have much power and who have extreme wealth, have a tendency to play global police officer. Which is fine in some cases. I do believe that in some instances where genocide is occurring, we should step in. But how do you go about being a police officer where the cultural differences vary and where cultural relativism has its own meaning. No, I don't understand or agree with the mutilation of young girls in Africa, but I don't think its our place as one of the most powerful countries to step in to stop it from occuring. The US has a history of robbing Africans from their cultural identity. It happened with slavery, where Africans had to lose their language, practices and religion. I think we have to face the fact that some countries are not meant to be Westernized.
