Gods Must Be Crazy Essay Example
REACTION about “The Gods must be crazy”
When I watched the movie clip, I saw the difference between the ethnic group/ Bushman and civilized people. In the beginning the clip shows us that at the time of the Bushman, all was simple, dainty and fair. There is no sign of evil (jealousy, anger, etc.,).

The “coke” represents the only exposure of the tribe have of the Western culture.
Xi wanted to keep peace in the village, he’s assigned to take the bottle to "the end of the earth" (actually a lush valley) and throw it back to the gods. For me, the coming of civilized people gives us highly problematic social changes.
I believe that it is a send-up of so-called civilization and a condemnation of racism with Xi as the
