No culture is better than another.

  That is demonstrably false. As long as we agree that a behaviour (like murder, for example) are absolutely not OK across the majority of human population, then cultures that display more of this behaviour are objectively worse.

    But what if the culture that thinks murder is okay in some cases dominates (think the us, japan, the united emirates etc)? In that case your own culture condemning it would be "objectively worse". If you measure objectivity by the major population, is it objective? I think not.

      Might doesn't make right on moral issues, unless you subscribe to moral relativism (which I don't). I specified "majority of humanity" there because majority consensus is the best proxy for the "morality" that we've got when looking purely at the material world.
