American Culture

I think of the three cultures we learned about at school, the Machigeungas are the most similar to American culture. First of all, they value their families more so than the other groups and they thrive to learn more about the world outside their lives. The children go to school to learn Spanish so they can be more familiar with the outside world. The gender roles are also somewhat similar because they're all pretty much the same. The women aren't taken advantage of like the Yanomamos do. They also keep animals as pets like we do.
