Yasemin: perfect analysis

Excellent comments, described perfectly.

The culture is totally "inter-dependent" not "independent" and voting is out of the question. If it's not good for the group (tribe) it's not going to happen.

Going in with your western "touchy feely warm fuzzy talk" is not going to work.

Sadly, you end up using this mentality to survive, and getting yourself out of trouble, but it defies the western concept of freedom of thought, honesty, a right to space, and honesty.
