Look up Pulitzer and the Yellow Kid. Objectivity exists where balance must be watched like some mad quantum mechanic's puzzle. Culture norms constantly differentiate yet the standard remains as "clouded within the individual's own perception." As humans, we have the tendency to believe that our individual perceptions and experiences constitute more of the truth than any others' around us. We exist on this world along with a vast number of other people, animals - of which we are, plants, and everything else I have missed.
We walk about blind and oblivious to those around us. What do we really share when it comes to emotions or experience? Neither I nor you can interfere into another's life without becoming a part of it. Perception is the mirror of desire and within it, we can see/view/perceive the possible reasons another would take such actions. Cultures differ to the point that they can be nicknamed as genres.
In those other places, they have been conditioned - as have/are we - to act and react a certain way. To break this standard procedure and be independent of the socio-culturoi-political grade means causing havok before a moment of growth. Perhaps there are similar people waiting in those places ready to speak for themselves. And perhaps we keep forgetting that we are not the only ones on this planet in this universe.
