Ignorance is bliss
And
It's cultural relativity
Anyways, here's an article on the response to the current "epidemic" in Egypt.
Basically, Egypt's response to "swine influenza" is to kill 300,000 the pigs in Egypt even though there has not been a single reported case yet in Egypt.
Facts are facts. The absence of facts is ignorance. Ignorant decisions can't be justified by cultural relativity. And, everyone would be better off if they really knew what was going on. The clash with the theory of cultural relativity has been the study abroad experience, and this (swine influenza response) is just too easy an example to reveal the absence of logic that goes into some decision making.
