The Romuls are an aggressive, militaristic and slaveholding culture. Its members believe that their gods have granted them the divine right to invade and subjugate, and enslave other cultures. The Betazed, on the other hand, are a pacifist culture that holds strictly to the codes of cultural relativism. They believe that each society should have the freedom to do whatever they think is right, even if that thing they are doing seems wrong to the Betazed themselves. One day the Romuls, on the counsel of their holy seer, decreed that the gods have granted them the authority to invade Betazed territory.
As strictly cultural relativists, how should the Betazeds respond to this potential invasion? Based on our readings on cultural relativism and justice, how do you think they ought to respond?
