Factors Affecting the Traditional Artist’s
Production Process
1.) Christianization
- The impact of Christianity and the
discussion of the locals to a remote religion
have made individuals from the network
reject their indigenous ceremonies and
customs.
- More regrettable, individuals are persuaded
that the last are crude and thusly their
training has no spot in contemporary
culture.
2.) Mining and framework venture
- The mining and system adventures expel
individuals from their homes and seriously
harm the earth.
- Denied the abundance of the land,
indigenous gatherings are provoked to look
for short term work from these businesses
to get by in a cash economy.
3.) Tourism
- They play a big role in one's nation. This is
to promote the culture, environment, and
the life of a nation to others. Along these
lines, land regions are changed over into
locales for traveler utilization.
- Environmental spaces become increasingly
vulnerable to harm with the consolidated
powers of catastrophic event and visitor
convenience. Works of art local to the
network will in general reduce in quality.
Expelled from their unique setting, the
works are changed into mass delivered
ornaments so as to satisfy the needs of the
traveler exchange.
4.) Militarization
- The weakness and pressures realized by
hostile areas capture the individuals'
capacity to make workmanship.
- It keeps individuals from having public
social events, were trades and passing
information can happen.
