Iroquois culture embodied a heightened communal ethic, which mirrors the egalitarian tendencies displayed by the Bonobos. In the Iroquois community, status and authority were obtained by being able to redistribute resources as needed. Not only was this system successful in inspiring the members to gain influence and respect, but it also benefitted the community as a whole. It can be argued that many of the Iroquois tendencies were influenced by the physical construct of their shelters, known as longhouses. Although kin groups were separated, the lack of physical space promoted sharing and the Iroquois were not phased by the lack of privacy.
Gebusi relationships were defined by things that one gave or did not give to others. b. Gebusi gender roles and sexual practices While modern societies, particularly in North America, anguish over such alleged problems as “same-sex marriage,” the Gebusi appear content with sexual diversity including ritual homosexuality. The women in Gebusi land seem to always take the blame when things go wrong even if it wasn’t their fault, like in the case of Dugawe. The men weren’t as hurt as the women (who wept) when an infant dies. The Gebusi’s usually married outside of their clan.
In addition, it was socially and morally unacceptable for a woman to be unmarried. Victorian women were forced to live by a number of certain rules, however men lived more freely. They were not judged as harshly by society as women. The different male and female roles were referred to as ‘separate spheres’ and women were often perceived as inferior to men. Source 1 states that the gender difference idea was taken from the Bible, as ‘God has’ ‘designed’ men and women to have different roles.
Nick 8/03/2008 Sociology Social Differentiation: Gender Social Differentiation is a normal occurrence for every man, woman, and child on the earth. It is almost impossible to socially differentiate someone without gender being a factor. Gender defines a huge part of the human perception and someone’s possible role in society. Over the years it’s progressively becoming more acceptable for women and men to “interchange roles”; but social differentiation is not necessarily all sexist or demeaning there is some undisputable facts. Such as women can not perform manual work as well as men, on the other hand, a man’s entire chemistry is different allowing him to be less emotional than a woman.
Not everyone was thrilled. Two from the female tribe “Salani” – Kim and Courtney were very vocal of their indifference with the women-versus-men competition. But this did not stop them from making an alliance
I quickly realized what I suspected was in fact true. Food colonization is one of the least intrusive aspects of colonization. Generally speaking, the occupied country is not forced to eat the colonizers normal type of food and feeding the indigenous people is not really a concern. What they do care about is what they eat and if it is something that can be exploited. Interesting, enough the colonizers take as much away from the cuisine of the indigenous as the indigenous take away from them.
For examples, in the past men had more rights than women but it has all changed now women are eventually getting back their rights. Rights are legal entitlement, for example, an individual has the right to be live a safety live in the society without being troubled or intimidated by others because of their sex, skin, gender, colour, beliefs either culture everyone should have the right to live a perfect life equal as others. FOOD It is crucial you know about many foods and have the knowledge of which cultural has what sort of food this is because if you offer your friend food or a snack but you did not know they was vegetarian, some may take it the wrong way and take it defensive, just to be on the safe side you should be cautious about each cultures food type. For example: Each school has a mixture of students that are different races, Muslim, Christian etc. So the school management needs to be aware of what type
However, this system cannot run forever because resources of our planet are limited. One of her important findings is proving how this material system correlates to and affects by our society, culture, and economy. Leonard’s statement about the relationship between the material economy system and the real world is very simple and valid, but not many people can realize and acknowledge it. Taking T-shirts for example, T-shirts have been so popular since their creation in 1920; nowadays, they are more favored by everyone in a variety of colors, patterns, and styles. People wear T-shirts all the time, but not many of them ever wonder how these T-shirts come to their hands, and what raw material they are made of.
Our society does not hold high standards when it comes to working together as a team like the San culture does. (Nowak & Laird 2010) states “Perhaps a large number of us should step back and take a lesson on how to survive instead of how to keep up with the Jones”. In our society, we are more concerned about ourselves and take our resources for granted. We do depend on one another for certain things but we do not rely on family members or relatives to provide like the San’s do. The San people like the simple life and are not greedy like Americans can be.
I also found it interesting to learn how the lifestyles influence different beliefs like the number system. For the Pirahã and Mundurukú, there was no need for a complex number system because they did not need to use
