But is that ethic and morality something that is impossible for other cultures to emulate or adopt? If so, why? I think "culture" is a dynamic thing, it's changeable. I think the evidence of this is abundant & widespread (See: most countries adopting western/hollywood culture since the 1920s).

I often see a similar argument from gun nuts. You show them that Japan has a ban on guns and that they have zero hand-gun related deaths annually, show them that they have among the lowest crime rate in the world, and they use the excuse of "Oh, it's a different culture. It's not comparable". That's nonsense logic to me. All it means is we also need to change our culture too, then. Sure, it's another factor to consider, but that's all. It's not a roadblock.
