The Gods Must Be Crazy and discussion

After watching, The Gods Must be Crazy, our discussion in class made me realize alot of things in our governed society that are different from alot of the different third world.

The whole concept of time seems like it is only for the use of documentation and economy purposes. We use time to know how old we are, what holidays are worth celebrating, and when things should need to reach their deadline. Time pretty much infatuates people with more than what is really going on with living, but in our governed society it is perhaps the most important tool we can rely on. In other societies like the tribe in the movie, every day is just another day and every coincidence is just a new adventure. There is no end of the earth as technology and science has discovered, but the tribe in the movie belives there is so on such a planet. They of course do not need to know when a holiday is or how old someone is exactly or what kind of deadlines need to be met. Pretty much just how are they going to live the next day.

This eye opener lets us explore the many tools that we use that are valuable to us, and why it is so "weird" that other societies don't use the same ones. There are other countries with other beliefs and governments. Americans only believe our way is the best way and that is why alot of other countries can see us as cocky and unlikeable. On the contrary, that is also because they are infatuated with how they are raised to what they believe is the right way to live. This has caused many wars and conquest. The only conclusion is that the world is different, but no one is willing to change and that is how the world will forever be. Why change others, when you are content with your self is the real question...
