Alternative Lifestyle

             21st century is a mix of alternative lifestyles. Lifestyles are divided for ancient lifeway and modern lifeway. Shining example for ancient lifestyle is Tuareg of the Sahara.  In the past "Blue men of the Sahara" protected the camel trading caravans crossing the Sahara  Desert, but now Tuaregs mostly work as livestock herders. In the opposite way you may know about The sea Gypsies. Settling in temporary stilt huts only during monsoon season, they live half of their lifes in hand-built boats with nets and spears to catch fish to eat and sell. Tuaregs and Sea Gypsies know about modern lifestyles, but they are fully satisfied with their simple life. But some people don't know about new technologies. For instance, Tribe of Papua New Guinea. The head of this tribe joined an experiment to observe how tribes were adapting to the modern world. As a result, stone age people had met everything new with terror.

             What about modern lifestyles?

             One of the most famous way of life is being vegetarian or vegan, but we can't forget about freegans. Freeganism - is a movement whose devotees take responsibility for the impact of their choices and find alternative ways of meeting their everyday needs. Freegans are not homeless, but they scavenge in bins for discarded food. But there is new way of life even for homeless people. More than a hundred homeless people live at Heathrow airport. They dress like tourists in order to give the impression that they are flying to a sunny destination. Also, 21st century is full of "sharing neighbourhoods". It means that all the people in your neighbourhood can share anything inside their neighbourship. For instance, they can share garden, they can share cars, they may swap or give away reusable stuff. And that's great, because it makes you a part of big family, called neighbourhood.

A lot of new lifestyles become popular these days. That is why, you shouldn't be surprised when you see good-looking man in the black suit searching for the food in the bin, it is just his lifestyle.
