The Return of Jane and Tarzan

Introduction

Introduction:

          “Simple life, simple human being what happened now?”

 

          Filipino of way back then. Indigenous people are part of our culture but they are the one who has been left behind to the immediate phase of transition to modern life nowadays. Everyone changes when time passes by. This may cause for us to forget the things that we usually do or should we say forgetting what our ancestor inherits to us. Nowadays, there are some inventions that might help us to have a comfortable life style.

          Our quest does not literally mean about the journey of Tarzan and Jane. It is actually about the journey of indigenous people of adapting into the modern world.

          The goal of our quest is find out if they will be able to adapt our lifestyle and culture vice versa. And to know the difference between present times and ancient times, and also to experience their lifestyle and vice versa.

Task

The task is for the  youth of today to realize how lucky they are because they are living in a comfortable environment. Wherein they can eat anything they want as long as they have money or cash to buy it. They can go and travel anywhere else because transportation is very accessible. They can enjoy the pleasure of modernization because it is already in the market. All they need is to work to earn, to avail to attain the quality and comfort of living.

          But what if all the mentioned comfort and pleasure gone. Are they ready to go back to the basic lifestyle such as hunting food to eat, cooking using only the bamboo and making fire through dried leaves and trunks of the trees? Clothing themselves, by using only the “bahag”? So as the people leaving in the oppressed area like the indigenous people. Are they ready to adjust and adopt the way of living in the city wherein everything is in the fast pace of modernization.

          These are what were going to find out of who among the two people from the different culture can adopt easily if they switch their way of living.
