I was watching this one documentary about how people look at things about africa? By this lady called Unity.C . This was one of Pop Tech's conference.
And she explain to different situation with the same point and why we look at things the different way.
Adam was about to propose to Amanda, and he bought her a really pretty diamond ring which worth around 20,000 USD. And everyone was very happy, they say the diamond expressed how much they loved each other.
on the other hand,
James was about to propose to Alicia. And he gave her 20 cows in order to get Alicia from a parents. And this was against the society as they say that the girl has to be bought from their parents in Africa.
What about thinking that, 20 cows cause 20,000 dollars and this means a way of the African's showing love.. Instead of getting diamond rings.
Then they came up saying that, they are torturing the animals. 20 cows.
Then what about digging up the earth to get the diamond worth 20k dollars
i think this is something that we should really ponder on.
