indigenous cultures
In the book Imperial Grunts, some of the A team members who are with teams in places like Columbia, Phillipines, etc. are quoted as saying that to be truly effective, you must love the culture of the people you are training or assisting. Is this a true statement? Is it difficult at times to love a culture that is so different from the one we are accustom to? What if you are working with one where there are customs which are truly reprehensible and you just cannot get past it?
On the other side, are there cultures or people with whom you have worked and grown to greatly admire?
