Assignment - Cultural Studies Question

At the end of Chapter 11 in To Shake the Sleeping Self, the author wrote about his experiences passing through a village on his way to South America:

"On the second day we dropped anchor off an island the size of two football fields. The villagers had no natural water source, so big plastic containers held water on the roofs of their palm-frond houses. I asked our captain how they survived out here, and he said, 'They used to live only by fishing. But now they survive from tourists.' It felt a little bit like visiting a zoo. The children ran up offering beads and brightly colored scarves and dolls made from folded palm fronds. It didn't feel like life in paradise. It felt like poverty tourism."

Following the assignment guidelines (linked above), write about how this passage makes you feel about your participation as a tourist. (You may refer to the experiences you listed in your first Portfolio Assignment, or write in terms of where you see yourself traveling in the future.) How (if at all) has your perspective shifted so far?
