is it right to leave alone uncontacted tribes?

In the article above the author claims that we should leave them alone to protect their way of life and their land. She says just because they are not as advanced in technology does not mean they aren't civilized. I think it's obvious we shouldn't take their land from them or make them do anything they don't want to do but it seems arrogant to say that we can't share our knowledge or technology with them as it would destroy their way of life. If we believe them to be just as civilized as us then we shouldn't stay away from them because we don't think they can handle our advancements. As long as we do not encroach on their land or force anything on them, I think we should approach them and share with them what we know and let them decide what to do.

  • They should fall under their government's jurisdiction. If they refuse to recognise a government they should not be exempt from governing. People will use these "uncontacted" tribes to spread their own ideas of how humans should live, with little regard for the tribes themselves. Technology may be withheld from these people, because someone wants their fantasy of humans-living-with-nature to persevere. This is blatantly wrong. The tribes should be able to choose whether or not they want to adopt foreign technology and culture, but they should not be exempt from their government's governing powers. People can cry all they want about the homogeneity of human culture, but the reality is you only like diversity because it entertains you. Diversity is a cause of conflict, and it obscures any discovered truth. It's more trouble than it's worth.
