Among the Toraja people of Sulawesi, Indonesia, not all was
going well with tourism. In fact, resentment became so great
over the way in which sacred funeral ceremonies were being
adapted to meet tourists’ needs that in the late 1980s, a number
of Toraja communities simply refused to accept tourists. The
result is that host communities find culture and traditions under
threat from the purchasing power of the tourism industry.
Neither are tourists better off from the cultural viewpoint.
Instead of getting rich and authentic cultural insights and
experiences, tourists get staged authenticity; instead of getting
exotic culture, they get kitsch. Question: Within the context of
the narrative presented above, discuss 4 cultural differences
(Scollon and Scollon, 1995) that may have prompted the Toraja
communities to resist the threats posed by tourism. Your answer
must be a minimum of 700 words and maximum of 1000 words.
