Tribal Ethics and Community Dynamics

This chapter examines the nuances of tribal ethics, focusing on the treatment of outsiders within communities, particularly through the lens of the Pashtun code. It contrasts the collective accountability and interconnectedness of tribal cultures with the individualism prevalent in Western society, especially in times of crisis. The discussion emphasizes the value of community relationships and cooperation over personal survival tactics, illustrating how diverse skills within a neighborhood contribute to collective resilience.
