How can classical philosophy help us deal with today’s cultural dilemmas? What’s more important - to be a good friend or to follow the rules? How far should we go to respect local culture at the cost of our own personal wishes? Who should be held accountable when things go wrong, and why should ‘culture’ matter so much in questions like leadership, responsibility and accountability?

This illustrated introduction aims to explain the gap between personal experience and cultural value systems. It is a process to help us dispense with the traditional duality of ‘our way‘ and ‘their way‘ and rather focus on the meaningful dialogue.
