#1 Yes, "cultural differences" should be reconciled.

There was a story about a Brit in India (may have been Wellington before his peerage). He was made aware of the plans of some of the locals to throw a widow on her husband's funeral pyre. He naturally indicted that this wasn't going to happen on his watch. The locals said 'but this is our custom, you have no right to interfere.' The Brit responded, "Well, go ahead then, but my custom is to hang people who burn women". The widow lived.

A perfect example of reconciling cultural differences.
