(I understand this is a popular issue, but when I watched the video I was really intrigued.)
The challenge presented in this case is that it is hard for people in our society to perceive their behavior when their society is on the opposite spectrum, especially on terms of survival. As negative as it sounds, I feel I can say I understand why they would kill the individuals and could justify it is acceptable in their world.
What becomes difficult is understanding their culture and accepting that because their culture is secluded and isolated from the rest of the world. They live in a world where they do not have the knowledge, education, tools and instruments,and resource to take care of those individuals who will bring their tribe down. They are survivors and hunters; if one is weak, the tribe is weak. Each individual contributes and if individuals fail to contribute, then the tribe falls apart. Their means to kill a baby is by means to keep the tribe strong and at its best so it can survive.
The world will argue that it is inhumane and so do I. No person has the right to take life. In there world I could understand and see the justifcation, but I do not believe it is right.

Yes, I agree with you here, but I think in addition to this, It should be noted that any person that is able to understand the fact that yes, it is a different culutre, so it is acceptable to kill the baby. But in the back of their minds they still believe it is wrong and don't fully understand the reasoning. I think it is completely impossible to completely understand the culture of another race, because as humans we all have morals and standards that we live by and that is what we know, just like they stick with what they know.
The only way to fully understand one another is to live under the same morals and standards, but this is also impossible because we know that if this were to happen we would have to all live the exact same way. There would be no differences in culture, and basically the color (not meaning race) that colors our world and the differences in cultures that makes our world beautiful will be gone.
In this way I think it is impossible to fully understand another culture that is the polar opposite of our own, but that we should all accept it and not discriminate because other cultures do different things.
i agree with Remo, because differnt culture have different believe,but they all have morals and standard in there culture,and that how they were rasied to believe.
