[juubdfui] Respect and responsibility are cultural constructs

An argument invoking "respect" is equivalently asserting the superiority of one culture's definition of "respect" over another culture's.

Similarly, "responsibility" is one culture's (often implicit) definitions about where property lines lie.  As "responsibility" is often invoked when one person's actions affect another, that is, an economic externality, "responsibility" subtly conceals the duality of externalities.

Within the philosophy of cultural relativism, arguments invoking respect and responsibility are vacuous.
