Living with The Mek
    #8011295 - 02/11/08 10:55 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Am watching a Travel Channel TV show called 'Living with The Mek' wherein two Brits plus camera crew, porters and translator travel to a part of New Guinea to live with a tribe that has never before met Westerners and have remain unchanged for thousands of years .

Definitely worth checking out. One can get some great insight into the similarities and disimilarities among disparate cultures.

What do you think about trying to preserve their culture and keep them isolated?

On one hand, it seems good to let them live their life the way they are free from western influence.

On the other, it seems degrading to deny them access to the world as a whole and keep them in some sort of 'zoo' for our amusement.

I watched it last night, it was good.

I think it would be best to just let them decide for their own how much they want to take part in 'modern western culture'.

Description of the show:http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Explore_Going_Tribal/ci.Living_with_the_Mek_Tribe.show?vgnextfmt=show&idLink=abd0d45822af7110VgnVCM100000698b3a0a____
Cool idea. No stream available yet.
