    I felt that this reading was very interesting and refreshing. Looking into a culture that conforms to nature instead of destroying it is somewhat of a foreign idea, yet makes perfect sense. The Inka practice of grafting structures formed to the land allowed them to "become one" with their natural surroundings. Keeping in mind the Inka beliefs, it is quite easy to see and understand why this type of building system was important to the people. The ending results were not stagnant perfectly dimensioned buildings, but instead organic structures that seemed to flow with the surrounding land.…

    Batek of Malaysia

    • 852 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The Batek share a very unique culture which resides far in forest of Malaysis. They are a foraging society and live their lives as nomads. They live in camps of five or more nuclear families. The encampment is comprised of about 12 huts, each that are rectangular in plain and raised stilts. They raise their huts in order to keep a bit of air flow below their huts. The huts are made of hardwood branches lashed together. Walls are simply bamboo hammered flat and held in place by 2 sticks. The women of the Batek weave the roof out of leaves removed from plant spines. The men build all of the huts. They generally have control over the land surrounding their encampment but considering the fact that the Batek does not believe in landownership, they are considered the “caretakers” rather than the “owners” of the land. Once the useable resources from the wild plant have been depleted they move to another spot within their habitat. This demonstrates their nomadic lifestyle.…

    Tourism industry has witnessed a fast development in the recent decades. As a new type of tourism, ethno tourism combines sightseeing and seeking the cultural experience of the tribal communities of the tourist destinations (Cooper, 2005). Since ethno tourism greatly stimulated the economic development of the local communities, people think that ethno tourism benefits both the visitors and the local communities of the destinations. On the one hand, ethno tourism enhanced the cultural communication between different ethnic groups. However, it is also worthwhile to note the possible dangers to the environment might be caused by the over-development of ethno tourism (McLaren, 2001). There are many other negative influences upon the local communities in the same time. These may include the pollution to the natural environment, the eroding of the local culture and the risk of infectious diseases. As a result, I maintain both the positive and negative influences of ethno-tourism have to be clarified so as to keep a balance between tourism development and the protection of the local communities. This essay, based on the analysis of the various influences of ethno tourism in both the industrial development and the change of people’s attitude, examine the benefits of ethno tourism to both the visitors and the local communities of the tourist destinations. In the meanwhile, I also intend to analyze the potential harms brought about by ethno tourism in the local communities. The development of ethno tourism mainly focuses on four major long-term positive influences within the local communities. These effects include the improvement of the local economy, the communication of different cultural groups, remarkable influence upon the society of the tribal communities and the advance of the local life conditions. With regard to economics, the benefit to the locals is considered to be the major drive force that stimulates the development of ethno tourism. Ethno tourists’…

    Many years before the Philippines undergone the obligatory process of reduccion, the bahay kubo (nipa hut) was the home for Filipino families. It has been designed to endure the tropical climate we have. Its details completely signify the type of location where it had been built. They are usually built with long posts to support the house and provide a higher elevation from the ground or on treetops in forests and ilaya regions (mountain top). That serves as protection for the residents against wild animals. While in lowlands or ilawud regions, they are usually built in lower elevation from the ground. Convenience on storage of harvests and other supplies from plantations is one of the possible reasons why nipa huts in this region had been built in low elevation.…

    At present it has become quite obvious that a good amount of comprehension must be ascribed not to the rules of language, but to our ability to infer what the speaker’s intentions are in saying what he says. Linguists try to explain this in terms of theories known as pragmatics, which is the study of linguistic acts and the contexts in which they are performed.…
