Did anyone watch Tribal Wives on tv a while ago? Where a recovering alcholic Scottish woman went to live with an Ethiopian tribe for a while. She was shocked to tears (daily) at the way they lived… the way the women were treated by the men… the daily workloads they had to put up with… the fact there was NEVER any romance in their relationships etc etc? But the one thing she had the MOST trouble coming to terms with was just how HAPPY and content they all were.
If you were to offer just a few of them a new life in our “civilised” society they would probably turn round and tell you to shove it!
I didn’t see that one, but I saw another one in Ecuador. And yes, it is a supreme arrogance to just assume that another culture would want to swap theirs for ours.
