The culture you live in considers how a goal is reached.
In this expression:
means = the things done to achieve something
end = the result
Consider this: A poor person steals milk because his wife is dying.
The means justify the end (not commonly said at all): The poor person will be in trouble since he stole, even though it was to save his wife.
The end justifies the means (most common version): The poor person would not be in trouble because he saved his wife, even though he stole milk, which is illegal.
