| dc:description | 描述: Underdevloped cultures are not static but undergo processes of change and growth caused by internal stimuli. The greatest changes in these cultures, however, occur in response ro external causes, usually contact with more developed cultures. Either to transmit its religion, to develop economic resources, to lessen a threat of war or for several of these reaons an advanced culture almost always trys to change and underdeveloped culture with which it has contact. When the underdeveloped culture is aboriginal to the territory of the advanced culture its position as an internal alien subjects it to even more urgent pressures to change in ways beneficial to the dominant people.The methods used to intentionally cause change may be summarized as religious conversion, education, force and trade. My thesis here is that it may be expected to yield economic and social profit to the advanced culture which uses it. We shall briefly consider the Atayal under two very different circumstances for evidence concerning this thesis.When the Japanese attempted to develop the natural resources of Taiwan's mountains, especially exploiting the very valuable camphor trees, immediate and difficult confrontation between Japanese and Atayal resulted. The Japanese considered two methods to control the Atayal and gain access to territory: either gradual economic and social development using some force if necessary, or complete suppression followed by forced development. Religious conversion was not considered but education was to play a part in 'developing' the Atayal. The gradual method was preferred and attempted but it was found necessary to use force-it was apparently not possible to enter Atayal lands without force and this stimulated a violent response from the Atayal. The Japanese decision at that point to use complete suppression may be seen, in historical perspective, to have been an overreaction but it gives us an excellent example of the cost and effectiveness of force as a method of causing change in aboriginal culture. |
