My Ishmael
1. What are Ishmael’s two general rules on how to identify people from our culture? Do you agree with Ishmael when he says that people from all over the world are part of the same culture? Why or why not? Ishmael's two general rules of how to identify the people of our culture are... Our culture is a culture in which our fool is all locked up and owned. Our culture thinks ourselves of a race that is "fundamentally flawed." We expect wisdom to be rare. When it comes to the people all over the world being a part of the same culture, it all depends on which culture you're talking about. When you talk about the way a place lives and religion and how they go through their lives then of course our cultures aren't all the same. But when you talk about our corporations and businesses plus adding in our human flaws then it does seem as if it is all the same in our business corporation. I wouldn't completely know, though -- not being complete in all the people of the world. 2. Ishmael disagrees with Mother Culture’s voice that says that humans are inherently flawed. After reading through page 66 of My Ishmael do agree or disagree with him? Why? I disagree. I do believe humans are flawed. Especially when we say how much we need to change but do nothing about it in our hypocracy. That in itself is a human flaw. Humans have many different flaws. So I will have to disagree with Ishmael when he says that humans are not inherently flawed. 3. Ishmael uses a parable of Tunes and Dancers to explain his idea of Takers and Leavers. Who are these Takers and Leavers and how do they relate to American culture? When Ishmael references to the Takers and the Leavers I believe he means the people who joined in the Agricultural Revolution and the people who "dance" (as in work) for their food and pay for it and join in locking their food away as the Takers. The Leavers are the people who continued to do thing "the old fashion way" and grow their own food and work only so they can eat their own food and live off of the things they need. This picture is called "Dystopia" If you can't read the caption it says: The pervasive, enduring, and widespread acknowledgment that man's most steadfast potential is the ability to completely screw everything up.

About me
Konbanwa. My name is Brendon -- and I am a girl, mind you. I'm gluttonous -- I eat a lot... but sadly I've had to cut that down for weight purposes and the sake of my braces (Owwies!). I like some healthy stuff, apples are my favorite. Celery is good too. Specially with peanut butter. I have a really big sweet tooth, specially for chocolate but sadly if I eat too much my throat starts to hurt and I get a bloody nose. If I eat TOO much candy my teeth start hurting too.
