Anthropology report

            Progress "undermines African culture".
            
             I read an article on how tourist and Christians are changing the African culture. According to Mr Opondo, tourism is effecting huge changes in the lives of people in the Kigezi highlands. He said, "The tourists who come to enjoy the mountains trigger change among the inhabitants, leading to assimilation of cultures and the diffusion of new lifestyles. The prevailing attitude of using Western culture as the mirror of what is good has modified cultural norms. They copy European accents, hairstyles and dress. The perception is that Western culture is superior and dominant." .
             According to this article, the Africans are being exposed to new technologies and the Western culture, as never before by tourists and Christians who try to convert the Africans. Although this is not all bad, this may lead to the disruption of African culture. The traditional ways of African culture that were perceived to them as righteously superior are now being undermined by the new culture that the westerners are bringing into Africa. In Ethiopia, a farmer AHI knows was recently told by the church to get rid of his second wife, who was pregnant. Polygamy is well accepted in Africa, but Christians are enforcing their religion and culture to the lives of these peaceful Africans. This may well disrupt the harmony of African society and culture, and cause problems. .
             PART 2.
             This article is related to cultural anthropology because it relates on the culture of Africa, which is a main country that anthropologists emphasize on. It is related to anthropology because this article explains the process of the assimilation of culture of Africa. The process that Africa is going through because of the westerners. The article also states how polygamy is common tradition as it is also explained in chapter 9 "marriage" cultural anthropology book. This article is also correlated to many videos that I have saw in my Anthropology class because it relates to how the anthropologists try not to disrupt the African culture, by not exposing them to new technologies or anything else that might disrupt their culture.
