What should society do for “uncivilized cultures” like the Sawi?
These 'uncivilized cultures' have not been affected by the modern world and also have been living in relatively the same manner as their ancestors had hundreds of years ago. They have been isolated from the modern world and in order to build a bridge between us we must be extremely careful with whatever that we do.
These 'uncivilized cultures' should be shown that they are not alone and also that there is another whole new world with also infinitely more knowledge than what they had. However doing this all at once would almost certainly overwhelm anyone from these cultures therefore it should be done slowly and gradually.
I prefer to bring them into the light instead of leaving them in the dark because even though this introduction could have its ups and downs but the advantages significantly outweigh the disadvantages. For example, with the introduction we can now provide medication for ailments that would have definitely takes their lives and also can provide better food, clothing and other things to increase their life span and also provide a more easy life for them.
But first before we even do any of this we must show these people that there are aspects of the modern that can be extremely dangerous such as drugs, weapons and other things. We must make sure that they know the extent of the damage that can be done with these things.
After all of the initial aspects of our world we must then share the gospel with them. We must do this because they are our fellow humans and therefore are the children of God and we need to step up and tell then about God as they have not and probably will not hear about him.

I agree. These societies don't know exactly what is right or wrong in our modern society, and we need to make sure that they are exposed to the truth first, and then we can slowly move them into the world. If we don't tell them what is right or wrong, then they'll just go off doing the first thing that comes to them.

What exactly is truth, and are they not already in the world? How can we force our morals on them, when they have already learned their own. Also, some of their ways of life may seem archaic to us, but what is to say that their society isn't modern?
