Then, there's the issue of individualism vs. collectivism. The answer might not be to everyone s liking. Then, we'll note how standards of ethics also differ from culture to culture. We ll examine two general types of ethical standards found in every culture, bipolar and multipolar. Then, we ll look at a seemingly commonplace feature of our own culture, the word thank you .
Some cultures don t have it, and others are in danger of losing it.
However, a direct corollary exists between a thankful attitude and walking in light, and that can profoundly affect a whole people group. All of the above, we'll see, define the spirit in which we must do warfare against the spiritual forces of cultural intolerance manifested by Neo-Nazism, ethnic cleansing, white supremacy, schoolhouse shootings, terrorism and social unrest. There is no easy way out. That's Christian culture. There are many good things to be said about Christian culture, but not all that can be said about it is good.
