ABSTRACT
MORALITY is a relative term; its interpretation shifts with different people and with different ages. Thus, what is condoned in one age becomes unpardonable in another, and what is unmoral with one people is quite often moral with others. In weighing the moral standards of a people, therefore, we should weigh them on the scale of their traditional culture, and not on that of our own. It is not command and obedience, but problem and free choice that makes true morality. Thus, every people should have a large latitude to decide for itself as to what is moral and what is not. But when a people whose social standards are decidedly immoral in the opinion of the enlightened world attempts to force its ethical code upon an unwilling race, the matter becomes serious.
