When going on a date, some women ask the man what job he has. A person’s job is a part of the social status. A doctor receives much more social respect than a sewer cleaner. This judgment of status is evident throughout all countries except the !Kung San. The !Kung San have no set jobs or statuses. They simply live and work to help their tribe prosper. For each meal, they find a large animal and slaughter it for its meat. During Christmas time, a buffalo is either bought or hunted for the feast that is held. No matter what the buffalo looks like, the Bushmen tell the hunter/buyer that it’s no good and is too scrawny to be eaten. A person’s status can sometimes go to their head and make them too arrogant so in order to prevent that, the !Kung San tell their hunters/buyers that their meat is awful. They believe that arrogance can lead to someone thinking they are better than others and murder them. (Lee,
