I believe that people have different ways of living, that no one, in any social position, can not criticize the other people’s way of living as long as it satisfies the person physically and mentally, and it has no harm to the other people’s life.
For example, one may find joy spending a lots of time with his children, going out for hike, etc. while the other may find joy providing his children a good environment, high education, and strong discipline.
One should never force the other people to live the same way he lives, yet only can show them how he lives, which would encourage them to change if they realize that his way is better than theirs.
For example, democracy should never be forced into a socialistic or communistic county. We may attempt to let them know more about democracy and how it will help their government, but that’s all.
Human has very diverse characteristics yet with ethnocentrism, that sometimes they don’t understand each other. To make up an example, A smart students who gets into an Ivy leagues fails to understand those people who are glad that they get into community colleges, and eventually looks down on them, while those students call the smart student a nerd and think that he has no life.
Having an emic point of view seems to be the key to live wisely with no inclination to one or the other.
