[edit] Political correctness in the article

This article is still a bit politically correct. When given a choice most people, including anthropologists, prefer a culture with "accumulative innovation" such as antibiotics, cars and central heating to a culture with accumulative innovation such as tribal dance, beads and ancestor spirit beliefs.

"Political correctness" is often used as a phrase to discipline and demote the views of others--to suggest that others are behaving in an ideological fashion, while the other people is more neutral. It's a phrase heavily used by the American right to politicize and challenge the views of the American left. Moreover, whether people enjoy air conditioning more than beads is irrelevant. I submit to you that what a lot of "modern" people want is what their televisions tell them to want. --Smilo Don 17:40, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
