Tourism In Kenya Adam Jadhav Analysis

Superior Essays
Kenya is a stunning place on the East African Coast. The vast amount of land and scenery is what brings tourism to this country. Tourists rush in see the wildlife during safaris and retreat to resorts and unwind. After watching Wild Frontier’s Travel Guide to Kenya and comparing it to Adam Jadhav’s New: Tourism, friend or foe of the Maasai?, it is evident that there is a positive and negative effect of tourism. Using various techniques, these videos give off separate insights of tourism in Kenya that equally persuades the audience’s decision on visiting. In the Wild Frontier’s video, it portrays a positive view of tourism in Kenya by analyzing different parts of the video. The video is directing towards an audience of adventurous people seeking …show more content…
One of the aspects that intensely stand out in the video is the purpose. Instead of trying to persuade the viewer to visit the place, it informs the audience of the harmful, undesirable effects tourism has on the locals. In this video, the audience would be people who want to know a little more about how tourism affects the people of Kenya before visiting. Another aspect that is present in the video is the stance. Instead of looking at the hard facts about what the tourists enjoy, it comes off more subjective. It focuses on the opinions of the locals and shows what tourism can do to the locals. This is shown with the interview and the multiple photos of their dying cattle. Moreover, the genre of this video is report and the media and design of this video is also digital …show more content…
One technique used throughout the video was the statistics of how many people visit Kenya. The video showed the photos of the comforting places the tourists have the luxury of staying in and then showed the handmade homes the locals were staying in. This gives a drastic comparison of the living situations that the tourists receive and what the locals must live in. This is very effective in showing the poverty of the locals which makes it easier for the audience to feel bad for them. Revealing to the audience the photos of the local’s starving cattle made it extremely effective. It is perfect to get the audience to sympathize with the locals and see for themselves and not just hear it. Another technique that makes it effective is the interview with the local man. This interview explains the reasons behind why the locals perform for tourists and why they give tours of their homes. It is showing the audience just how scarce water and food is for the locals and see what type of living the people of Kenya have for themselves. This makes the audience open their eyes to see that there is more than just the beauty of Kenya and more problems than advertised in the travel

    Being a 16-year –old, and having taken my first semester of college classes this semester with my high school classes on top of that, all here at CSN, has been an unforgettable experience. On the other hand, from the three college classes I have enrolled in, including German 111, Communications 101, and Anthropology 101, I have, in my opinion, learned the most with my Anthropology 101 class. This class has been a great and interesting experience that has allowed me to view the world in a different way than most people. To illustrate, even though I thought most of the things we discussed in class like linguistics and archaeology were interesting, I consider learning about ethnology the most memorable and fascinating concept for me. To illustrate,…

    While watching Gringo Trails and reading “The Globalization of a Brazilian Fishing Community”, I seen many similarities and differences. One of the similarities I seen at the beginning of the documentary and while reading the article is both Bolivia and Brazil undergo a huge transformation in tourism as the years pass. In the documentary we see that after Yossi’s adventure in the amazon jungle more and more tourist especially from Israel started to visit the country. Something one of the guides mentioned really stuck to me when he said “We as travelers are guest in other cultures” I analyzed that has having to do with respect in the environment you are in, especially when it comes to animals. I truly believe that the more tourism you see the…

Before the king’s arrival, people were on their cellphones and several were engaged in meetings discussing modern topics such as AIDS, education in the 21st century, and the local university’s teaching of science and technology.

    Comprehension: 1. Trask: Describe the pre-haole (pre-foreigner, European, white colonialism) political system in Hawai’i as an interdependent system, using incentive instead of oppression as a means of gaining status. Trask writes, “ … an interdependence was created where by the maka’ainana (people of land) were free to move with their ‘ohana (extended families) to live under an alibi of their choosing … the result was an incentive for the society’s leader to provide for all their constituents’ well-being and contentment. To fail to do so meant the loss of status and thus of mana for the ali’i (chiefs)”…

During Atang’s journey, not only did the events and content of the journey prove stereotypical perspectives of African culture wrong, but expanded viewers’ knowledge about the continent.
