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?
They perceive themselves to be members of a race that is fundamentally flawed and inherently doomed to suffering and misery.
& We keep food under lock and key, and we think it is normal.
I don't think that people from all over the world are part of the same culture though because the whole world is full of many people so I don't really think that we all have one same culture.

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?
Well I disagree when Ishmael says that we are not flawed because we are all flawed we were born that way and it's what makes us unique and not like robots. So many can argue about this but I really gotta say that we all have flaws and the evidence is all the bad stuff that's happening to the world.

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?
I think the Takers is our society so most of us and the leavers are the ones who kind of rebel and just decide to go there own way.
