Adventuring Survival Tactics, Period 4, March 9
Rose dashed into class looking rushed and wet . "Sorry! So Sorry! Didn't mean to be late but there was this thing with the weather -- no excuse I know. Anyway, Doctor asked me to fill-in as he's swanned off to parts unknown, possibly blowing things up and/or saving the galaxy."
"Looked through his class syllabus and decided to go for another tangent altogether, do you know what I find to cause 30% of the trouble we encounter on planets happen to be? If you say cultural misunderstandings you'd get a big heapin' A, well not really but you get the idea. Thing of it is, most of our run for our lives encounters happen because one of us didn't know the culture or someone who shall remain unknown, let's call him Factor, tends to deliberately insult a chief of state or some such alien tyrant because he can't keep his big gob shut.
"It always works out for the best, mind, but diplomacy does go a long, long way. Better a kind word said than telling 'em 'Need to turn down the sugar, eh? Getting a bit fat 'round the chin.'," She paused and looked to the students, "So, I want you lot to discuss different cultural misunderstandings and how you could avoid causing an international scene that would inevitably lead to your ugly death."
