Before I embarked on the research about Taiwan, I have a shallow level of knowledge about its culture, traditions and society for I have not travelled there before. From the youtube videos, advertisements and word of mouth exposure, I perceived Taiwan as a modernized country. A country with high standard of living and well developed transportation network and well known for its pop singers such as Jay Chou, S.H.E, Jolin Tsai, Zhang Huimei etc and pop music. I concluded that Taiwan is also a food and shopping paradise, famous for its snacks and night markets due to word of mouth.
I feel that the primary motivators to travel to Taiwan are the desire to see their new cultures, lifestyles, music and food and for relaxation and enjoyment, to have a getaway from the busy hustle and bustle of city life. My curiosity towards the indigenous groups in Taiwan aroused. I presumed that being the minority, the indigenous groups in Taiwan could be threatened due to modernization.
