Is any Culture Primitive?

-



I don’t know what you think about this, but wouldn’t you term a culture that asks for human sacrifice and the death of some people as primitive? Every nation has its own culture, which it values so much. Before a culture makes contact with another, people of a particular culture wouldn’t have had the eyes to see beyond their own culture, and they wouldn’t agree that their culture is inferior. One can even see adherents of a culture fighting tooth and nail to safeguard their culture without any other good reason other than ego and inculcation of culture over time.

As I had written earlier, culture contacts have had some effects that can even be termed disastrous. Some people who have superior arms and who are more advanced than the people of other culture they encounter use different means to subject the other culture to their own ideals, which they think is the best.

I, myself, come from the culture where twins and some set of ostracized individuals were not seen as human beings. Twins were killed, and these ostracized individuals were seen as mere properties. However, this doesn’t remove the fact that they were good aspects of my culture before the coming of Christianity. Even Christianity and places it ruled supported slavery and colonialism in the past, and they did all manner of inhumane things to other cultures. Different cultures have its good side, and also, its bad side.

For one to conclude that some cultures are primitive than the others is to say that all cultures are primitive. The good things you find in this culture, you might not get it in another. The bad things you find in another, you might find one more evil than the first. Cultures are meant to be borrowed, so cultures are constantly changing and there is high rate of the drop of evil practices all around the world.

Biography of Poet J. P. Clark is a Nigerian poet from the Ijaw tribe. He studied at the University of Ibadan; it is from Ibadan that he got to write a poem about Ibadan, and it is from here that he developed as a poet. Analysis of the Poem This is a poem about the city, Ibadan. This Ibadan is in South West, Nigeria. It is in the state of Oyo. It is an ancient city that had been in existence even before the coming of the British. As the city is old, the houses of the city are dirty and the roofs are rusted. This is also an unplanned city. The persona begins by describing Ibadan as running splash of rust: that is, Ibadan is filled with rust; rust here symbolizes old and ancient. The color of this rust is that of “gold” which the persona shows. The use of “scattered” shows disorderliness of houses in the city. Then, the seven hills are the seven hills that surround the city. “Like Broken China in the Sun” represents the disorderliness and the scattered plan of the city. ...

There is an argument about entrepreneurs and businessmen that has often elicited arguments among intellectuals, economists, politicians and even business men.
