They don't really know the context for "turn the other cheek".. Jesus was teaching the Jews how to cope with the Roman occupation by nonviolent resistance and shaming the enemy.
Under Roman law that governed Palestine any Roman could strike a Jew or take his coat or make him carry his burden a mile.

yes because they are decent ideas meant to make life better for all
thinking of others and being honest is a good plan
when humans gather together to depend on each other to live
Its very wise to respect and be kind and honest with each other
the don't fuck someones husband or wife was designed to keep diseases down and allow people to know their children were their children for real
Most adultery in those days was likely rape of the female

When Jesus lived Herod had finished his big construction projects and there was a lot of unemployment.. They Jews were fighting each other and the Romans.. Zealots, Herodians, Pharisees, Sadducees, Ziccari and Essenes were fighting each other.. and the Romans.
Jesus KNEW that if they didn't stop, the Romans would destroy them... and they did.
