-Context of the Organization... and "Interested Parties" involve some of the more interesting requirements in ISO 9001:2015 & AS 9100:2016 because this section involves socio-politically driven requirements. Few people recognize / appreciate that interpretation of these requirements is "country dependent".+While poorly described in ISO 9001:2015 & AS 9100:2016, the "Context of the Organization"... and "Interested Parties" actually involve cultural relativism. Cultural relativism is the idea that a person's beliefs, values, and practices should be understood based on that person's own culture, rather than be judged against the criteria of another.
  
-When reading ISO 9001:2015, sec. 4.2 “Understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties”, the interpretation varies depending upon whether the country is communist, socialist (i.e., closed or restricted economies) or a free society with a free market economy.+This means that interpretation of the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 & AS 9100:2016 changes when crossing cultural boundaries. Or, stated another way, interpretation of the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 & AS 9100:2016 is "country dependent".

 +Recognizing that some of the requirements contained in ISO 9001:2015 & AS 9100:2016 involve socio-politically driven requirements, one can easily understand how this severely limits the value of ISO 9001:2015 & AS 9100:2016.

 +For example, when reading ISO 9001:2015 & AS 9100:2016, sec. 4.2 “Understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties”, the interpretation varies depending upon whether the country is communist, socialist (i.e., closed or restricted economies) or a free society with a free market economy.
  
 This accounts for the following definition being completely incongruent with businesses operating in a free society with a free-market economy (the “Example” having been added by TC 176). This accounts for the following definition being completely incongruent with businesses operating in a free society with a free-market economy (the “Example” having been added by TC 176).
