Ignoring Culture is Insane
And, it must be said, these migrants have been invited into our society not on the basis of judging individuals as individuals, but on the basis of their participation in a category. If you let somebody into the country because they are a Somali, not because they are likely to be a good citizen, why is it unfair to kick them out based on the same characteristic, because, as a group, the Somalis are horrible members of society?Also:
But civilizations are built on cultures more than anything else. As Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, and other countries have shown, strong and basically healthy cultures can create stable and wealthy societies despite having few resources and even challenging strategic situations.
As Venezuela and Cuba show, being blessed with abundant resources but a bad culture can create total disasters.
Everything is downstream from culture.
