Grammar
amongst/accross
In a situation where different cultures with different traditions are being observed, do I say:
We're conducting a research to evaluate different traditions amongst the different cultures based on common ethical standards.
Or,
We're conducting a research to evaluate different traditions accross the different cultures based on common ethical standards.
Are they both correct? How does the meaning differ changing (switching?) between the two words?
Thank you for your time.

Well, 'amongst' doesn't really hold up to logic, so I'd use 'across' (one 'c'), or why not just 'in' or 'of'?
