Activity three:
Watch the video, think of living an experience like this and define what development
really means, are human beings in general moving forward to true happiness, to real
evolution and a better life...?
what development really means?
Is a process that creates growth,progress,positive change or the addition of
physical,economic,enviromental,social and demographic components.
are human beings in general moving forward to true happiness, to real
evolution and a better life...?
For me humans are evolving every day and moving towards a better life, every day
there are new technological advances and our life expectancy increases but
happiness is something that is not so present because with technological advances
we are increasingly isolating from people around us and that makes us feel alone,
think of negative things and look more at external things rather than worrying about
ourselves, as well as we are having a better life as a nice home, a good job or simply
having everything we always dream we become addicted to work for wanting to keep
that lifestyle and that is something that makes us to a certain point bitter because we
only care about it.

Answer 4 of these questions please, yeeeeeep in the word file you have been
using.
1. Is living and working with nomads in Mongolia right for you?
2. What will you do on the cultural immersion project in Mongolia?
3. What will your typical day be like?
Go for a walk, get to know the surroundings, get to know people and learn
more about them
4. What are the aims and impacts of this project?
5. Would these people be happy changing their lifestyle into ours?
I don't think so because they're used to that lifestyle, they don't know anything
else so for them it wouldn't be easy to adapt to our way of living.
6. In your opinion, what kind of life is better....why?
I don't feel like there's a good or bad lifestyle, everyone decides for
themselves how he wants to live, for me my lifestyle is the best but because
it's the only thing I know I've always lived like this and for them it's the same
as they know nothing else that lifestyle for them is the best
7. Which fantasy is better...for a Mongolian to live in a big city or for a urban
person to live in a rural town?
None, as I have mentioned, would be very difficult for both sides to adapt to
a lifestyle they do not know but I still feel that it may be easier for a person
living in the city to live in a rural place because people in the city to some
extent seek peace, silence, being in nature and simply spending a day away
from the city’s scandal and stress and for a Mongolian it would be difficult to
go to a big city because they would not stand the noise, pollution, large
population, cars would be a very stressful and difficult to process for them as
they are not used to that
