Remote Cultures
1) Overall Impression of both cultures
a. My impressions on these videos were pretty astonishing. I never really knew that
places like that tribe really existed or how they would still exist to this day. I
knew people existed like Jesco White in Boone County. I honestly thought that
was pretty funny.
2) Implications (social, political, legal, religious, economics, others)
a. The only social implications that the tribal people had was that they do not talk
about death or the names of the deceased. There were no political implications
with either culture. Legal implications with the White family are just that they
basically do everything illegal. The religious implication with the tribal people is
that they communicate with the spiritual world by inhaling some smoke that
seems to get them “high.”
3) How do they compare to yours
a. I do not really see how these cultures compare to my culture in any way. This is
probably the reason why I find these cultures so astounding.
4) Similarities between both cultures
a. The only similarities that I could find with these cultures are that they both defend
for themselves and they believe that the man is more powerful than the woman.

5) How do you think those cultures were created
a. I think the way that these cultures were created by just living off of the land and
just being uneducated. They have not really seen normal civilization so they
would never know any better.
6) What would it take to integrate those cultures to ours, should we?
a. In order to integrate these cultures into today’s society, it would take many years.
I believe it would be much easier to integrate our culture into theirs rather than
theirs into ours. Personally, I do not think we should integrate both cultures into
today’s day of living because I believe their cultures would not even last.
