Yes, that isn’t justifiable in your society. Surely you’ll be safe and pampered in your society. But, yours you’re are not the only one. There are a lot of other societies that are different than yours. How will you be able to interact or even fight them (as foes) if you don’t understand them. Thats why you need to understand them so that you’ll be well equipped and can plot your strategies for future interactions. To understand them is not equal to agreeing with them.

Anyway, life will be much more exciting when we are open to new encounters. Just like when we are able to speak many languages, imagine that.
