opinion that i assume to be one.........


         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.
