Different contexts and cultures do not
necessarily align. An advisable intervention route in one culture
could be antagonizing in an other, and visa versa. Cultural
expressions and interactions could look like the inverse of each
other.
What are our common grounds?
Without a shared history - and with limited
interest or narrow communication channels for dissemination knowledge and
intangible cultural heritage - in my view, common grounds are our shared, human values.
A worthwhile exercise would be the
formulation of “The Universal Values of Humanity”. A really
challenging excise, no doubt, and possibly one that could linger
long.
Of course, we have got “The Universal
Rights of People”, but that is just one side of a reality. Where
are “The Universal Responsibilities of People”?
Can both be
reconciled in “The Universal Values of Humanity”?
