!kung
Out of all of the three cultures that we have studied in class i believe the !Kung related closest with american culture. my first reason is the !kung has had more cultural diffusion in their society. this has caused them to celebrate holidays and have a small conection with the outside world as oppose to other cultures like the yanomamo. Another way i would say their culture is similar is their likly hood to take down errogance and power. This is much like us in that if someone gains great power they will always be scrutinized and under constant media harrasment.

I completely agree. I think it's really cool that they have their own version of Christmas. Although it's a little different, they still take ideas from outside cultures. The way the demean others is also very similar to our own. We like to bring those down who don't deserve it because they boast and brag.
