Myanmar has a history of recent transgressions against human rights and democracy. For most of its independent development, it was ruled by a military junta. The laws make it hard or impossible for foreigners to do many things, such as own ground. If foreign investors would be approved in Myanmar (which is not at all certain), they would not be sure that their property in Myanmar would be respected and e.g. not confiscated (nationalized).
With regard to the culture clashes in different nations and communities, use of the contact hypothesis theory could help to ease tensions.
In the contact hypothesis theory, which is credited to Gordon Allport, is the ability for two or more cultures to coexist peacefully through meaningful and thoughtful interaction in order to reduce prejudice. To ensure successful contact, it is recommended that: both groups receive equal status of importance with minimal differences in characteristics, backgrounds, and qualities; groups work towards achieving a common goal which is equally beneficial to both groups; there is cooperation from all subjects in each group; support from local authorities of laws/government and customs; personal interaction between members of opposing groups.
Potential outcomes for successful tourist-host contact include: relaxed attitudes, understanding, a mutual appreciation for the opposing culture's values, positive interactions wherein cultures are respected mutually, increased active communication to ensure both parties are satisfied and can co-exist peacefully, and perceiving the opposing culture as equally important.
Answer:
Nativism, assimilation, and cultural preservation are terms that help explain the relationship between mainstream society and minority groups, as well as new immigrants coming into a society.
Explanation:
The connection between nativism, assimilation, and cultural preservation are like different sides of the same coin regarding culture and society. Nativism is the idea that there is a core culture in a home country that needs to be shored up and protected vis-a-vis the arrival of outsiders or newcomers. It is the grounding of xenophobic ideas where there is a fear of outsiders and an active rejection of them on some level. Assimilation is when people who are newcomers adapt to the dominant culture and take up their values, practices and beliefs. Cultural preservation is used to protect cultural links to heritage and the past whether this be for majority populations or minorities like in the case of Native American groups and protection of their cultural heritage and lifeways vis-a-vis the mainstream.
Disagree. It is a good opportunity to put pressure on the current government to modify social policies, international relations, and economics. If they want to stay in power, listen to the people.
