"Are U.S. Efforts to Promote Human Rights Culturally Biased and Self-Serving?"

That is the question to which the answer would decide our foreign policies as well as why and how other nations perceive us as they do.

So, in your opinions, is there such a thing as universal morality, or do our morals differ so much that, for example: murder, rape, exploitation of child labor, are viewed as 'normal' to some (even hurtful to the economy if child labor is banned)?

Many have said that the US has no right to interfere with how other governments run, but what about in the case of abuse or things that affect humanity and global society?

but then when should countries begin to interfere? when it already is another holocaust, or shouldn't countries prevent it from being one at all?

i dont think we cant prevent it. cause if we do it would be like the US turning into a monopoly or like a dictator of all other countries.
