Ancient futures : learning from Ladakh

  Today! I’d like to introduce a book called Ancient futures : learning from Ladakh. The author of this book is Helena Norberg-Hodge. She is a sociologist. She wanted to know that impact of modern civilization in a country. So, she went the Ladakh and wrote this book.
Where is Ladakh? Ladakh was abuts Tibet and in the northeastern part of the Indian. Small Tibetans in Ladakh lives our live different. They do not use our civilization. They live their lives on their own.  Instead, they were living in their rules. So, they did not quarrel or fight. It is make sense not to fight because, they think angry is bad thing. They have a custom to resolve the case in consultation with all. And, they have a habit to resolve the case in consultation with all. However, to prevent the invasion of Pakistan and China, the Indian Army in Ladakh began to ignite the big impact on the culture of Ladakh. They looked westernized Indian film and they interested in modern civilization, and the materials. They watched it and they think that they are away from civilization and modern. Therefore, they began to blame themselves. They abandoned their custom that is helped each other and they only wanted the cost of labor. In addition, they were ashamed all who love you like family. In other words, Ladakh is transformed by modern civilization.
  Like Ladakh, our world is changing materialism. This book talks about such a phenomenon. What do you think this problem? What do you think modern civilization? I want to know your idea. So, please you read this book and talk to me your idea.
  Here is the end. Thank you for reading my post. After, I will introduce to you more interesting book.
 I’ll see you later. BYE!

  1. Hi Ye Jin. This sounds like a very interesting book. I also think that materialism can corrupt people and societies, but I don't think it's just modern. Even in ancient times some people wanted to get rich. That's why the kings had slaves, and kingdoms went to war. So this is nothing new - I think it is human nature. We each have to control ourselves and remember that other people are important.
