Can one culture ever rightfully tell another that is oppressed? When the claim to rights does not come from within that same culture it may easily become IMPOSING an ideology to the Other.
Communication is the key to understanding one another. Globally and locally. When working agiainst oppression & repression from government´s and societly, we also need to know our personal rights and our own boundaries so we learn to deal with differences in a humane and horrizontal way.
