Should Politicians Use Context When Judging Other Countries?

[TigerNinja]

Often, in politics, and even daily life, we judge. It may be judging based off of evidence given over a long period of time or immediately. To judge someone is unavoidable, and naturally we do so in our daily lives even if we don't realise it, and it is subconscious. Although it is undeniable that we do judge, we always need a basis upon which to judge people, which is formed both by conditioning which in and of itself comes from both personal experiences and society.

Often, in politics as well, politicians are forced to make judgements through either the constant media or even by their natural, overpowering instincts. Although I have said that these judgements are unavoidable and instinctive (Which they are) we can still try to mould them- not by trying to alter our conditioning (Which would be a very futile act)- but by understanding upon which are the grounds we make these judgements. If we alter the grounds upon which we make such judgements then naturally the judgements themselves must shift where the tides take them.

Here I think that judging other countries or societies in both a political, moral and personal sense we need to judge them by collective context. This is collective of all of the world's opinions meshed together like different coloured wires for each belief, and whichever colour is most prominent holds supreme as by which context we should judge the politics of another country. You cannot expect every country to have the exact same political system so therefore whichever political system has the most amount of followers is therefore more likely to be the correct one, as so many people reached the same conclusion.

We should also have cultural sense, as this would also be part of modern 'political correctness' (As you can see I am a bit skeptical about political correctness and the such) as it means that we would not judge another by cultural values. Such values hugely differ from person to person, and I do truly think that it is important that such cultural values are seen as important when judging another society. We should judge other societies' cultural values not from our own but from theirs, and then cross them with our own to get an accurate judgement of what we should think about another culture as our own society.
