Ethnocide

"The problem isn't change. All cultures, through time have constantly been engaged with a dance of new possibilities about life. Its not change or technology that threatens the integrity of the ethnosphere. It is power. The crude face of political domination...Genocide, the physical extinction of a people, is universally condemned, but ethnocide, the destruction of a people's way of life, is not only not condemned, but it is universally, in many quarters, celebrated as part of a development strategy. You cannot understand the pain of Tibet unless you move across it, at ground level...

In the end, it comes down to a choice. Do we want to live in a monochromatic world of monotony, or do we want to embrace a polychromatic world of diversity?"
