What should society do for “uncivilized cultures” like the Sawi? The Sawi people are not the only tribe or country that are "uncivilized" or have an "uncivilized culture." One group of people or missionaries cannot help all these people. The society should be able to help uncivilized people. These days there are many ways the society can help. People can send care packages, food, clothing, and support mission trips or missionaries. However, instead of just sending stuff we should help these people by teaching them the basic method of living. Such as gardening, finding jobs, and house work. For example, Prince Harry of England, goes to Africa himself to help the children with AIDS. Instead of supporting a family of only eight children and a grandmother, he taught the children how to garden so they would able to have food to eat. I also went on a mission trip to Cambodia and the Philippines. Instead of sending money to these third world countries, I sent myself to them. I was able to help these countries by building houses and taking care of the orphans. All these people were amazed by our love towards them and soon was able to accept Jesus through our actions. When the uncivilized countries see the benefits that other societies gave to them, they would soon accept the ideas and cultures of a normal standard living. However, these days people only think of how to benefit themselves. We should realize that there are many people out there that have nothing compared to us. These people are waiting for us to take an action. The society should be motivated to help these uncivilized countries and soon by the help of society, there would be no third world countries.

Your post is very moving. I think that you are correct that one group of people is not enough to help the uncivilized countries of the world. We should indeed help other countries and send them more than just money. However, what is the standard of such a normal living culture? shouldnt these so called 'uncivilized' cultures be able to preserve some of their own?
Anyway, your posts are very true. :)
hey Carol,
I also do think that our society should help the 'uncivilized society' like the Sawi by truly giving our care and love but as I read through your post, many questions went through my mind. The main question was that.. "Will many people eventhough they are not Christians, stand up and take action to help these 'uncivilized society?" It might be easy for us to just say that we need to help those uncivilized society but is it really easy to step up our faith to help them? We get caught up with many things that we do and tend to focus on ourself before we think of anyone else.
I like what you wrote and it made me think deeper about the reality.
Hey..the ideas are extremely realistic and also different. Most of the blogs I have readm including mine have emphasized more on how they should be taught to advance spiritually ! However, after reading your article, I have realized that to incorporate the Sawi into society, they first need to understand the norms of society to fit into the jigsaw puzzle, and hence, complete it ! The suggestions made by you are extremely pragmatic and would definitely help. Also, the example of Prince Harry is something contemporary, and increases the degree of application of the article to today's world and way of living. Great going...
This is a good example of a "THINK TANK" - you all have such valuable ideas. Mrs.Mc.
