Culture No.4

The accepted and the shocking

"Louis Theroux’s recent documentary in South Africa was filmed at a game reserve, where in order to support the animals exsistence the farm allowed controlled hunting on the land. With a Rhino costing as much as US$100,000. Rhino, Kudu and Warthog, among many more, where sustained in the reserve in order to prevent the animals from being poached and leading to extinction, which is a serious problem in Africa with many of the big five. Theroux found the hunting of these animals a disgrace and couldn’t understand why they allowed hunters into the reserve. When the game reserve simply explained that it’s how they afford to keep the reserve running and it’s the African way.”

Consider the imports and exports of other countires or cultures, that would shock you, good and bad, something that you simply can’t comprehend but is accepted in another culture.
