Recommended: Implications of modernization theory

The Hazda tribe within the Amazon is powerful, strong and resilient. They live within dangerous conditions including poisonous animals, poisonous plants, and weather conditions that could be fatal to anyone that cannot adapt quickly. People in the western world may consider their way of living outdated and not efficient but in light of globalization and an increasingly interconnected world, the rest of the world can learn a vast amount of knowledge from the Hazda- from their lifestyle, how free they appear to be, and even how they use all parts of their supplies taken from nature. For example, when Michael was talking about things he appreciated from the Hazda, he stated “There are things I envy about the Hazda- mostly, how free they appear to be. Free from possessions. Free of most social duties. …show more content…

Free of many family responsibilities. Free from schedules, jobs, bosses, bills, traffic, taxes, laws, news and money. Free from worry. Free to burp and fart without apology, to grab food and smoke and run shirtless through the thorns.” (Finkel, 7). From this quote, it is clear that western society puts many restrictions on people which causes an effect that people cannot grow from, expand from, and develop themselves into being who they want to be without facing consequences from the implications from society. However those who decide to live just as the Hazda do, face strong judgement, prejudice and hardship through their lives as they decide not to conform to what society deemed acceptable. People within society who are prejudice against the selection of the population that decide to be unique have much to learn from the Hazda as they do not judge those who are different, but instead live their own lives to the fullest

  • Socialization of the Nacirema Tribe

    1138 Words  | 3 Pages

    Societies often exercise complicated religious ceremonies and daily services that are seemingly irrational, but define their culture and give them a distinct personality. In “Body Ritual among the Nacirema”, author Horace Miner (1956) recalls his studies about a “North American group called the Nacirema, living in the territory between the Canadian Cree, the Yaqui and Taraumare of Mexico, and the Carib and Arawak of the Antilles” (Miner, 1956). During his expedition, Miner (1956) viewed many outwardly odd Nacirema practices such as “using magical potions and charms to defend against ailments, or drilling holes in their teeth, so they can insert supernatural substances that draw friends” (Miner 1956). In order to better understand a society’s culture, research methods such as the “life course approach”, “role taking”, and “resocialization” should be studied.

  • Mongols and Plains Indians

    1809 Words  | 4 Pages

    Two cultures, thousands of miles apart, show similarities that would be expected of neighboring civilizations. Both cultures arose on similar terrain. This terrain was a luscious grassland. One civilization grew up in Midwest North America, the other in Central Asia. The first civilization was the Plains Indians. The second was the Mongols. Each culture had a common form of religion. This religion was shamanism. Wordiq defines it as "a range of traditional beliefs and practices that involve the ability to diagnose, cure, and sometimes cause human suffering because of a special relationship with, or control over, spirits." The cultures were also affected by the horse. According to David Nicolle, the horse appeared on the Central Plains of America during the 18th century C.E. (The Mongol Warlords: Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, Hulegu Tamerlane). Horses are native to the Mongolian region.

Believing that decadence encouraged decadence and that one's birth influenced one's character, society sought welfare reform, establishing centralized institutions for public assistance. Once established, the Poor Law separated families, put the poor to work in occupations that no one wanted, creating an environment that was less appealing for public assistance, and more appealing for employment. Believing that it had made today better than yesterday, society went about its business, ignoring the reality of starvation, illness, and death.

This is because of the fact that history plays an immense role in forming one’s future; the abundant interactions socially, economically, politically, result in repercussions that can hardly be unraveled.
