Nisa's theme of “changes” is in Nisa opens with an introduction by Shostak describing the transformation of the people of Nisa. The place, Dobe, is located in the region of Africa, in the north-west of Botswana and on the edge of the Kalahari Desert. The definition of change is “to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone,” and political organization is the definition of “…includes those portions of social origin which specifically relate to the individual or groups who manage the affairs of public order or seek to control the appointment or activities of such individuals or groups”. The book "Nisa" by Marjorie Shostak explains that the !Kung lifestyle was becoming increasingly difficult because they did not have enough resources. There was not enough social differentiation, nor the relative access that individuals and groups have to basic material resources, wealth, power and prestige, and no group is allowed to have access to material resources or have power over others. Not all countries have good politics because some countries that have bad politics will have a hard time surviving. But will the “change” happen? First, many people did not have enough resources or their resources were not very reliable, and many people had difficulty surviving. Their resources had no benefit or sometimes the season could give people hard times as “the springs were contaminated by the cattle and goats watering nearby. The concentration of animals, animal waste and fresh and cultured milk pumpkins attracted swarms of flies.” Many !Kung died of disease. There were diseases spreading among the !Kung tribes. Shostak m...... middle of paper...... trading system, store-bought goods, !Kung people had appliances, clothing, better shelter, and a better daily life. Shostak said: “The style of Kung huts is also changing: huts are now being built to last, with sturdy structures, mud-plastered walls and separate thatched roofs, replicas of Bantu huts.” This proves that their lifestyle is changing and their systems are improving. Parents are busier than before. He said: “The adults are also busy with the tasks of the settled villages: elaborate fences of thorn bushes must be erected and repaired to protect the gardens; sowing and weeding must be carried out; new huts, often requiring a week's work, have to be built, plastered and maintained." This highlights that parents, children, workers and other people are working well together. This shows that their lives are more comfortable than before.
