"Eastern and Western cultures have a different perception of power and power distance. Eastern cultures tend to have a very hierarchical structure, where Western cultures are more egalitarian."

Schweider's theory was that the chief motive for the difference in moral values ​​is the illogicality of individual and group interests. Civilization has to balance this. And it is this equilibrium that has the utmost influence on the moral values ​​of a culture. This is the difference between societies that favor "individual centralization" and societies that have a preference for "society centralization", and to test this idea they took 39 stories from Chicago and Bhubaneswar in Orissa. Questioned the question at the end of the story was whether what was done in it was wrong or not.

In some tiers, people have offended others or treated them unethically. Interviewers in both countries said he was incorrect, which is not satisfactory under any conditions. But in many other stores,ries this quirk did not exist.

There was no damage or unfairness on most of the floors (or at least not in a way that the child could know) and Americans thought there was nothing Erroneous with that. If some of them were misinterpreted by Indian children, Torrell thought they should have been communally connected, but in the eyes of Indian children, they were universally deplorable. Even for a five-year-old child. In India, food, lust, clothing, and gender relations were moral issues, not societal ethnicities. And children and adults identically had similar views.

Schweidbringsing into being that in Odisha's culture of social centralization, "the social system was a moral system." Morality was wider and more comprehensive. And if that were the case, then the present theory of Torrell in academia would fail to explain it. The broods were not learning ethics on their own, nor were they based exclusively on destruction.

What the Americans and Indians agreed on was wrong.

A man saw a dog sleeping on the road. He went to him and kicked him.

The father said to his son that if he caught good marks in the exam, he would purchase him a new pen. The son acquired good marks. The father did not take the pen.

What the Americans alleged was wrong, but not in the eyes of the Indians.

A young matrimonial girl went to see a movie at night without telling her husband. When she get back home, her spouse said, "If you do this again, I will beat you." He did it again. Her husband shattered her. Did the husband do well?

One man had a boy and a girl. Both were wedded. After his passing away, the boy inbred the assets. He gave a minor part of it to his sister. Did the boy do fine?

Things that were wrong in the eyes of the Indians but not for the Americans.

A 25-year-old boy just calls his father by name.

A woman baked rice. Eat at a table with your spouse and brother-in-law and put them on your plate first. Did the woman mend?

A recently widowed woman in your zone eats fish two to three times a week.

After surfacing from the toilet, a woman did not change her clothes before cooking.

In a prearranged society placed on society, if separate actions are a social ritual, then it becomes moral to stop the widow from eating fish. (According to prevalent legend, fish is a "hot" food that arouses sexual desire). Valuing the father becomes a moral question.

However, if the individual is placed before the society, then if any rule or ritual limits individual liberty, it is interrogated. And if it is not hurting any person, then there is no moral defense for it. This is nothing more than a social ceremonial.

Ethical order is not the same.

Schweider's discoveries show that Torrell's point of view was imperfect. The web of worldwide ethics is multifaceted, miscellany, and, extensive. Schweider's consequences gave a new way of thinking about it. Imminent ideas and experiences could now move it forward.
