Case One – There are many cases, even in the English language, where one word can have more than one meaning. I think that Mr. Nolan’s friend should have caught on that the farmer was telling him the right information and he should have probably asked the farmer where the city of Tunis. The mix up of words is usually common for people speaking the same language, but from different cultural perspectives.
Case Two – I understand Grayzel’s view of making the system more efficient, but I think it is easy for aid workers to tend to forget about or sometimes disregard the traditional aspects of the native people. Even though they are trying to help, the planners should take the natives’ beliefs and values into consideration when creating a new plan.
Case Three – It is very interesting how the steel axe has changed almost everything about the Yir Yoront’s social roles. I feel that the axe has allowed for the societal roles of the Aboriginal group to become more equalized and balanced, while also improving their methods of survival.
