I need help with a English question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

One of the things that anthropologists point out is the way that the arrival of capitalism profoundly changes the way that people live their lives and relate to one another. This film explores the way that the FTZ (Free Trade Zone) on the Malaysian island of Batam is drawing people out of their villages to working lives that not only change their relationships with each other, but how people think of themselves.

Watch the three parts to this film, B.A.T.A.M. and answer these questions:

• How do FTZs like BATAM shape and alter gender relationships?
• What does it mean to say that FTZ’s run on women’s “official labor” and “unofficial labor”?
• What is the concept of “maloo”? How does it shape the choices that immigrants feel they can make?

Write: Jot down these questions and answer them as you watch the film. You will need to submit your answers through this portal to get participation points (see rubric below).
