lifestyle '
Lifestyle is a word that shows how we endure our life, how we act in this life,
how we interact with others and it also means the way we think about every part
in our lives. We know that our lifestyle changes every time. Yesterday we still
used abacus to do our math homework, but now we just use our calculator or
computer to account the numbers. Yesterday we used bicycle to go to other
places, and now we use motorcycle and car to reach the places. Our lifestyle is
changing from the primitive one in long time ago to a modern lifestyle in this
globalization era. But, do you know the last primitive lifestyle gave us some
advantages which cannot be given by modern lifestyle. Primitive lifestyle is
better than our modern because some aspects which can give us a better life.

When we think about primitive ethnics like Dayak in Kalimantan, Kubu


in Sumatera, and Asmat in Papua, we directly think they are so weird and left
behind. They do not want to accept technology which comes to human’s life,
they still live in jungle, in short they do not want to mingle with others in this
globalization system. On the other hand, when globalization system comes to
our life, people change their lifestyle to a modern one which imitated from big
countries like America, United Kingdom, China, Japan, and others. They use so
much technology to do everything in their lives. They use telephone to
communicate, use motor vehicles to transport, and they also use technology to
do their house works like washing clothes, cooking food, and cleaning the
rooms. Based on this detail, we can decide that a modern lifestyle uses some
technology, instead the primitive lifestyle does not want to use even they do not
want to know about anything in technology.

The first reason why primitive lifestyle becomesbetter than the modern
one is about their lives are healthier than our lives, we all know that the food
which we consumed are taken from our nature, meat from animals and
vegetable from plants. Although the modern or primitive people eat the same
source of food, but each other gets the different nutrition. In modern era, the
food serves with interesting look, and processed with some essence added to the
materials. The past food or usually we call it junk food like pizza, hotdog, and
soon are very common in our life. And the strange part is we still eat it although
we know that foods are not healthy. Another example, our vegetables and fruits
are packed with modern ways, and off course it uses preservative essences that
make it looks more interesting. But in primitive lifestyle, they just picked their
vegetables and fruits from their own garden and then they cook them with
simple ways like frying, boiling, or roasting. It will help them to get full
nutrition from that food without adding or subtracting other essence like
preservative, food coloring, and other thing to make their food more delicious or
get more interesting look. And the other things that make primitive people’s live
become healthier is drink. Modern people love to drink some packed product of
drink like soft drink, caprice coffee, caprice tea, and other instant drink which
are tasted delicious. But, primitive people like to consume fresh water, natural
coffee, and some herbal drink that are made by themselves. And with that
healthy and natural drinks or food make people’s live better. Comparing our
modern food with primitive one, In my opinion we would better consume more
natural drink and food than junk food for our health. So, in this side we can see
that primitive people is healthier than us. And if we want to be healthier, just
try to consume more natural food.

At the last, we can see the differences between primitive and


modern lifestyle. For some aspects in our live like healthy, communication,
interaction, exercising, and cultural, I think primitive people do it better than us.
Although we as modern people has put our self at the interface of globalization,
it will not guarantee us to have a better live in the future, but technology and
globalization make our life easier than before. I believe that nothing is perfect,
primitive people may be can be better than us in cultural and interaction, but
modern people also get more advantages than primitive people in education and
technology. So, the best way to live this life is balancing some aspect in our life.
We cannot imitate all of primitive lifestyle in this global era, but we also can not
follow all of modern lifestyle. If we can balance our life, we can be a better
person, we can make a better life, and then we can create a better future.
