Cultures

I think the Machiguenga is the culture most similar to American culture out of the three cultures we learned about. I think of the three the Machiguenga have the most similar values to Americans. The people show respect to each other and have morals like most Americans. Also, they are very family oriented which I think is prominent in the U.S. People get married and start families and those relationships are the ones that are usually the most important ones in their lives just like with the Machiguenga. Both cultures use the land to the best of their advantage although the Machiguenga are much less wasteful than Americans.
