Of course, it is only too easy and natural that we should assume that what is valued and important and “right” for us is the same for other cultures. These “cultural assumptions” are easy to make: for instance, we can assume that black is the colour of mourning everywhere in the world, but in India and Japan it’s white. Or we can assume that brides traditionally wear white, but Indian women marry in red. For us, a dragon carries the idea of “danger”, but in China dragons bring good fortune.
