There is a new series on the Travel channel where 5 natives from a remote tribe come to spend some time in US cities, visiting museums, NY Stock Exchange, dining in style restaurants, staying in homes of affluent families....I think it's on Sunday nights
Along the way they would share their perspectives on what they see. The hosts also ask interesting questions to solicit responses from them.One of the questions is " In your society, do you have two men or two women getting married?"
While in central park in New York, they saw a homeless guy there and could not believe their eyes. Their comment is that there are building and houses everywhere in this land. How can this one person not having a place to stay? In their society, everyone has a home, because everyone would come to help build a hut when someone need a place. The final comment is that they can see no one loves him. This person is not loved in this land.
It is very interesting to hear things from their perspectives, as if from a pair of eyes before civilization.
