Phage: Were it the case that everyone adhered to the tenets of society, then you might be correct. However, there is significant intra-societal deviation within society by its citizens, and inter-societal deviation between societies in the real world. Besides, even with globalisation, we must realise that there are certain levels of isolation, within and between societies. In order for a full integration to be possible (though I doubt one would be), complete teaching of all individuals and consistent contact between them would be required.
