Exactly, what was ok behavior a thousand years ago, is not ok now.  Society evolves, so does the morale landscape. 

Eh, it'll recycle itself anyway. Pushing your values won't stop society thinking your views are backwards in a few hundred years either. What the dad did could be completely justified if it'd happen 100yrs from now assuming that sort of mentality reaches westward. I wouldn't say societyevolves as much as it does just fall in and out of favor with given morales

Makes perfect sense, really.  I mean, a hundred+ years ago it was perfectly fine to marry children and own slaves, now...oh wait.  Sorry, if anything, history has proven bad ideas get left to the history books.  And thankfully, religion is being pulled kicking and screaming into the future.  Sure, it takes time (Vatican apology to Galileo), but it does eventually happen.  Your study of history, isn't as solid as you seem to think.
