Cultural Relativism and Ethnocentrism

Rights of gays to figure in US foreign aid…

In some countries homosexuality is punishable by death. This article discusses a plan devised by the US to educate some countries about gay rights as part of aid packages. Comment on whether it is the role of the US to educate others on human rights… Cultural relativism or ethnocentrism? Be conscious of ‘netiquette’ when commenting (appropriate comments, relevant only to the topic please).
