marriage is one necessary representation of the society’s culture. Marriage regulates‚ organizes and legitimizes sexual relations. Human societies have many different marriage systems‚ and in my review of “Everyday Life in Southeast Asia” and “The Dobe Ju/’hoansi”‚ it seems that this recurring theme of marriage is always constrained by the cultures‚ or rules‚ that were built upon it. While we see illustrations of elaborate structures within culture that determine if a union between two human beings through

Complaining is an integral part of the Ju/’hoansi way of life—especially high among Ju/’hoansi elders since it elicits and ensures supportive behavior from younger people to care for their elders. Personally‚ I think that the Ju/’hoansi people do not follow patterns of caregiving familiar in North American society‚ and their management of care for the elderly differs significantly from ours. Within the Ju/’hoansi culture‚ a “stream of complaints” from elders towards caregivers is viewed as “custom

changes and challenges for the Ju/Hoansi. Modernization had both positive and negative aspects to the daily lives of the Ju. The addition of a new road greatly improved the travel time to their village where they had things like: a new water hole‚ a new soccer field‚ a new preschool‚ and more. Tourism became more prominent because of the new border guards on the Namibian frontier (L199).

This is particularly interesting because if every male human and mammal were to die what would the world be?

Bullying behavior seems to have been documented in the scientific research of anthropologists. Ruth Benedict notes in her mid-20th century research on the Japanese‚ and Canadian anthropologist Richard Lee notes in his contemporary research on the Ju/’hoansi‚ that children in other cultures can play in ways that sound like bullying. Clearly what is considered acceptable varies through time and in every culture. What is considered “right” is a matter of cultural and historical norms

The roles of each gender gives them certain responsibilities and tasks to perform‚ although it is not at all uncommon for men to perform duties that a woman would normally tend to. The women of this society can travel up to twelve miles
