The controversy over child killing among Amazon tribes in Brazil
This is human zoo.  We see that culture, and our approach to certain instances of it is inherently oppressive.  We had cultures similar to that of the indigenous peoples&#x27; back in the old world until relatively recently.  But because we have a certain fascination with these exotic &quot;species&quot; of people, we negate them the modern life, way better than theirs in every objective measure.  We entitle ourselves to the &quot;preservation&quot; of their cultures, which means a) we believe that we are enough better off than them that we can assume that role and b) needing protection means that their culture is insustainable and bound to extinguish already.  It&#x27;s cruel to think that we should allow these people to suffer because it&#x27;s an interesting spectacle for the scientists, while we enjoy increasingly free and individualist societies.<p>We do the same with languages: we try to preserve languages that only a handful people speak because it&#x27;s interesting to us that those few hundred speak a dying language, while we enjoy using languages that allow us to communicate to millions, if not billions of other people.<p>Culture is a nice thing to remember, but just like we mostly dumped it for the modern life for the latter is objectively better, we should allow these people to do the same too.  Otherwise, it is human zoo.
