Answer 1

in many ways...somethin like blind belief

Answer 2

As the saying goes, "when in Rome" People in general will do as those around them; because of this, cultures and societies are very slow to change.

In the US for example : Native Americans culture revers nature.  The exposure to the western culture has changed how harmonious to the earth that they once where.

Now we (western culture) are be coming more aware of the impact people have on the earth and slowly our perception is changing.  Other cultures in turn see what we have learned and over time their believes will change too.

If we are still here ten thousand years from now the division between country's and cultures will have blended with only some regional differences.
