Kamal; Hello from Guatemala City:
I think that in the cultural area the politics factor is determinant
because it leads anyone to change the behavior and attitudes. I am not
talking about any particular country on hearth because without going too
far, mine could be an example due to social violence through time; but it
is not the same living in a danger free atmosphere than being paranoid or
afraid that something is going to happen to you on the way from home to the
airport or that something unexpected (and obviously) or unwanted could
happen at home or to your family and friends.
Or for example, what about the living conditions due to the economic
problems in a country; secondary to politics ??
One of the major areas around this social violence, problematic economies
due to faulty politics is the search for the spiritual safety and
comfortability. All these things (there are a lot that you would infere
easily by what we are talking !) are "transfered" concious and uncouncius
to your flight activities and result in stress, not always good feelings
and tolerance toward others errors.
Best regards from Guatemala City
Oscar
