you know, this is so that cultural relativism is an illusion ...
tell me how to have respect for the diversity of cultures and societies in the international airports? where all are subject to universal laws (challenging cultural differences and norms), and where a friendly and although there is widespread tolerance billboard Islamophobia?
see, multiculturalism has nothing against the police company, which must be observed.
no, no, of course, that Islamic women directed only to the check-ins are supported by other women (to raise the issue of the chador and verify the identity of the passenger), but not once I witnessed a situation where because of a rush / no staff'u He performed the verification colleague (- admittedly in the back, that other men did not see his face Islamki), but such a passenger, was not out ...
so as to function in other cultures do not have time disguise your morality ...
or tell me how to explain the Black Brother lecącymi to Lagos, that can only have 2 suitcases max: 32 kg (- Healthy Reasons force around the world) at the time when it comes to you with a suitcase weighing 64 kg? what's going on-after all, has the required number of kilograms per one person! Such cultural mediation usually unfortunately ended with security and often deleting from the list of passengers ...
they do not understand our culture and we need them.
in the air, international law-there is no exceptions for the poor Nigerians who want to pack one suitcase gifts to their village! and that's the whole village by August for him on the ticket to a White world ...
These bridges are sometimes exceeded. and sometimes are built only in order to efficiently be able to go only one way.
rarely had the opportunity to serve his countrymen; Airlines for which I worked in the run up to the losers Ryanair'em or Aer Lingus, but I had the opportunity to observe "Polish kolejkowicza syndrome," which stood out clothes (so, so easy to get to know us), and dim vision (- make it find the queue / line up in queue / buy a Coke for a hangover) - yes, unfortunately we see at the airports ...
indeed - compatriot abroad are equally interesting and controversial topic, what cultural relativism:)
had once come to my check-in'u pop culture in the person of Rihanna. I did not know the "phenomenon" does not know the the music ... for her invaluable-experience: if you forget to buy a VIP ticket you must remove the glasses as the common people to identify with! certainly has not committed a similar blunder ever after:)))
it also appears that popular culture is ethnocentric before the fact of cultural relativism in a losing position if it is detached from social context. is not it?
oh yes, I agree that the work at the airport is a brilliant experience of enculturation.
is a real lesson in remembering and zatracania.
but sometimes annoying and exhausting!
Fortunately, that appeared in my belly, then small seed that quietly grew and matured in the rhythm of the message from the speaker:
"Ladies and gentleman, your attention please. This is the final boarding call for flight AF ...."

* Cons job in the rhythm of the airport:
nightmares where you are always followed by delayed flights (the names are wrong, planes, gates!), Early wake-so about 3 o'clock in the morning (a few times a week! ) - by about 4 to open the check-in and operate the first flight in full uniform and makeup (Colors of lipstick, nail polish and eye shadow required by the company police), input / output the passengers to / from the aircraft on the ramp, when it rains and blows (in this country is the norm ...), mediation delayed passengers canceling of flights ...
* * pros such work:
undisputed cultural and social experience ... hierarchy of knowledge of the airport (convenient for many journeys!), good wine and beautiful perfume:)) yeah, yeah-still many passengers trying to smuggle these things in a bag cache;), the ability to perform full (And prescribed)! Makeup in 5 minutes, a large number of readings read in the intervals between flights ....
*** about cultural relativism in aviation would probably have to say to K., who worked in the two airlines as cabin crew .
the company of Mr. O 'Leary'go disciplinary action was dismissed after he refused to sell a passenger on board a moldy sandwich (- this is more or less company Ryanair'a police!). did not prevent him, however, get to the famous Jet Avi. famous for the number of delayed flights, which have had the pleasure of my company handle:>
