From the Paper:

"The social constructs inherent in human societies are responsible for so much of our psychological development and conceptual perceptions that most of us are completely oblivious to them. We know only the rules and norms communicated to us by the society in which we live. In many respects, this is a benign phenomenon of social development, but human history also illustrates the depths of objectively immoral conduct of which almost all of us are capable, despite even superior intellect and education. Only by comparing different social constructs can we begin to contemplate what may be truly offensive in our own culture of origin. Even then, it is a difficult task."
