Dad lets daughter die, rather than be touched by 'strange' rescuer

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.

It's really not as simple as that. All it takes is a war to go the other way to completely overhaul a mindset. And this isn't even just about morales either. This goes for beauty and so on. Homosexuality has come in and out of acceptance in many cultures, for example, and will more than likely fall in and out of favor for as long as humans have the urge to have sex. Of course I'm only here to play devil's advocate because these discussions are more entertaining than some other topics people have an... inkling towards XD
