Culture as Entertainment
Modern technology has established the age of the global society, and we have begun the creation of a new global culture. The cultural evolution of individual groups of indigenous peoples, separated from each other and untouched by the rest of the world, has virtually become a thing of the past. Individual, distinct cultures are quickly being absorbed into this new global culture. The few remaining civilizations untouched by the outside world are respected and nurtured as a species on the brink of extinction. As technology continues to change our world in unimaginable ways, this rich cultural development of individual societies spanning hundreds of generations into the past has become more treasured and cherished by their ancestors and the global community.
These primal cultures are remembered and respected by reliving and reenacting rituals of the past. In one form, they are presented as entertainment for the rest of the world to experience. As technology continues to shrink our world, as never before, tourists have a wider variety of destination choices. Tourists are looking for a local experience from a global perspective. There is a passion to reconnect with our own ancestry and a curiosity to experience other peoples and other cultures. These global travelers looking to experience new destinations come away with a unique understanding of a previously unfamiliar people and a more profound insight into the entire human race as a whole.
