A common and plausible assumption is that we are all to some extent influenced by the cultural context in which we live. The social and cultural context in which individuals are immersed determines, in large part, the values, attitudes, and fundamental beliefs they embrace. It is also tempting to think that cultural context can operate as a mitigating circumstance with respect to individual responsibility. What may we say about the impact that cultural influence has on agency and responsibility? The question is particularly interesting, and indeed, urgent, when we consider it in light of wrongs that fit into schemes of culturally accepted practices, especially those practice that keep some groups in disadvantaged positions (e.g., discrimination in hiring, the use of sexist language, sexual and racial harassment, slavery or any strict class system, child labor, child prostitution, etc.).
