What should society do for “uncivilized cultures” like the Sawi?
Up until now I don't think I've ever
really thought about or even considered that there were people out there in the world who were "uncivilized" to the point where they thought cannibalism and treachery is the ideal. I believe that many times in my life I was selfish and egotistic that I was incapable of understanding the reality of the world. However after reading this story I came to my senses in understanding that there are many cultures that need not only the world's help but the Christian help as well. First of all I believe that the UN should take action and help these cultures understand the rest of the world that they have no contact with. Secondly when the UN goes in and help I believe that missionaries should go in there and help them change their belief systems or at least give them a chance in which they can go to Heaven. Jesus to the Christians are saviors who gave us a second chance in not going to hell and breaking away from sin; I believe that the same type of opportunity should be given to everyone in this world. Although these cultures might not accept the belief, I believe that they should at least be aware of or heard. By the end of the day I think that we, as Christians, should feel the satisfaction and content when we go out to those people who are ignorant and preach the word of God.

I think that your post could be controversial. I'd be interested to see what people will say after reading it. I think that you bring up an interesting point about the UN. I think in some ways, bringing the UN would be a good first step. I think the missionaries coming would be a good step as well. I think that Don isn't trying to free people from ignorance, but to show them truth through their own culture. We'll really get into that metaphor later in the book and I think you'll all really enjoy reading it.
Hey Haichan
I think the idea of the UN taking actions before the arrival of missionaries is intriging. Do you think that the Sawi will accept items from total strangers? The Sawi are isolated from the rest of the world and it is more likely that they will not accept aid from people who they don't know well. Have you thought about the missonaries arriving first, showing christianity, befriending them and then the UN taking actions, providing what is neccesary? Nice post.
