My Ishmael #1

1. The first rule Ishmael has for identifying if someone is from your culture is whether or not you have your food under lock and key or not. The idea of having your food owned to Ishmael is very important and with out it people would not work. His second rule is that people in "your culture" feel that their whole entire race is completely flawed and fey. I agree because, constantly in the media and basically everywhere in our planet you are hearing how we need to change immediately and if we don't than our planet will slowly die.

2. Mother culture is the ideal mother that thrives through everyones mind, mothers imply what they know on their children. This is causing everyone to act similar and think similar in certain ways. I agree with Ishmael when he says that humans expect everything to be hard and over analyze everything, even the simple things (32), this flaw is commonly found in between humans.

3.  The metaphor used with the tunes and dancers to me is being compared to american society today. Going back to the fact that we over analyze everything, doing this we think we need to buy so much more than we need this leaves us no free time because we are constantly working to pay off for everything we buy. Compared to the hunters and gathers before agriculture, they only worked for a small portion for the day to get just the right amount of food that they need.
