i know it's a very good question but when you talk to people who are tempted to travel or have travelled it's very interesting the very last thing they focus on is the violence that's not to say that they claim to have been unaware of the violence but it's not i mean of course there are exceptions of course there were psychopaths among those who traveled but i'm not really talking about that group. it's interesting how rarely they cite the violence as as any factor at all in their decision to go they talk about the kinds of things you mention they talk about feeling of racism in the country from which they come it took about feeling of isolation of not of being seen as other of not being part of of of the community of the country from which they come they talk about seeking a band of brothers a band the sisters where there's a camera artery a sense of fellow feeling whether it be welcomed or not criticized and won't come in for race discrimination of any kind or religious persecution of any kind they think of it about in terms of community of course when they get there the daily reality
