Summary Of The Woman's Sister

272 Words2 Pages
The woman’s sister challenges the concept of development, because she still holds on to her tribe’s traditional values and refuses to try to save her sister’s life. She doesn’t want to try to take her to the hospital so she might be able to survive, even if the actual science could probably cure her. Her judgment is not totally fair, because she is biased by her values. Even though it is totally understandable that the tribe and the sick woman herself want to stick to their traditions, their mentally is completely opposite to the concept of development.
The author also challenges these definitions, because the way he basically forced the woman’s family to take her to the hospital, even if it was against their beliefs, certainly wasn’t fair.
