People

People are not the same as Government.

You may hate a Government or way of life but SF deals with people. As you deal with people the culture/government/way of life swirls around everything you do. In the end its "The People" you work with.

Knowing the culture will help you in dealing with the people. Once the people know you they will respect you. Then you don't have to "go native" because the people will understand you are a man but different.

But it is still best to understand the local cultural "No-Nos" and try and stay clear of them.
