Last week, I and my group which consists awang ezam, marwina
zamri and ummi fatien (actually all of my classmate) have been given a task
about word art exhibition in need of responding from 4 articles: land diving,
hijra, bride kidnapping and male plastic surgery.
I really interested in land
diving, therefore I had a further reading on it and come to a conclusion that
maybe bungee jump actually tried to impersonate this culture actually. The
concept used in both is a little bit same though the land diving perform by
vanuatu's people were actually dangerous. Similarly to its name land diving,
the jumpers actually going to touch the land itself when they jump differ than
any other jump, which means death shall come with minor mistake. For example,
the calculation of the length of the vine's used, if the vines slightly long then it supposed to be, the jumpers might die.
Then, the ladder that they used, were build using small wood that reach the
height of six storey building, so if only one of the chosen wood broken, the
jumper will reach heaven in no time and need not to care about incoming
sickness.
From my own opinion, I think that, this kind of cultural were not as healthy as they assume there is. First and obvious it could cause meaningless
death. Then, if we think from other point of view, their mind might not be able
to grow up. This is because; the objective for them to perform the jumping is
to take precaution from the sickness. However from the world globalization, we realize
that there are a lot of diseases that evolve and most of them can be cured by
only by modern treatment. So, it is better for them to start in learning a bit
by bit about modern medicine without only hoping in the jump only.
