1. The first rule Ishmael has for identifying if someone is from your culture is whether or not your food is owned. He claims that if our food wasn't under lock and key that people would not work. His other rule is that people in your culture feel that their race is flawed and doomed to suffer. Do I agree? Yes I do. Why? Because we all live on the same planet - and whether we like it or not we all have to share it.
2. I agree with Ishmael when he says that humans expect certain things to be difficult. It doesn't puzzle or confuse or amaze them at all. Human's inherent flaw is not being able to overcome flaws. So no I don't agree with Ishmael because humans are not born without flaws, they are.
3. Ishmael's takers and leavers explanation is very relevant to American culture. The idea of all day labor to receive lock and key food originates from 1 small society a long time ago that spread it all around. Today in America we work all day to buy a surplus of food while hunter gatherers work a small portion of the day to receive just the food they needed to survive.
