The "noble savage" mentality refers to the idealization of indigenous or pre-industrial peoples as inherently good and morally superior to modern society, often portraying them as living in harmony with nature. Examples include Rousseau's writings, which suggest that civilization corrupts natural human goodness, and popular media portrayals of Native Americans as wise and spiritually attuned beings. This mentality can oversimplify complex cultures and overlook the challenges faced by these communities. Additionally, it can lead to romanticized views that neglect the realities of their social and political struggles.
