Problem: In Boyd Varty's memoir of his life growing up at Londolozi Game Reserve, he reminisced about a visit to the Masai Mara tribe in Kenya. He describes this warrior tribe as being "passionate about two things: their cows and their children, in that order." Varty (2014) states that:
"Things are changing in the Mara. The traditional scarlet-hued shuka is giving way to Western hand-me-downs; in these clothes, the Masai, for the first time, look poor. Money and wheat schemes are disrupting the balance and harmony that has existed for so long between the Masai and their home on the great plains."
Can you think of any advantages for the Masai Mara to adapt to modern culture? Explain in detail.
