The piraha’s culture and language The Piraha culture avoids talking about knowledge that ranges beyond personal‚ usually immediate experience. The Piraha are apparently uninterested in art or fiction‚ not to mention the lack of grammar has generated.

One part of the Piraha language that fascinates me the most is how they don’t have no past tense

when the middle-class began to rise and a significant incentive to educate women surfaced – notably the creation of the concept of marriage as companionship and the successive need for a wife with whom one may have an intelligent conversation with – Daniel Defoe (1660-1731)‚ one of the most influential writers of his time‚ was a firm activist for women‟s education.
