Document Summary
Ex: india has very sexist areas and some areas that are not so sexist. Harris argues that how sexist an area is relates to the form of traditional agriculture. Rice growing societies women are more equal because they were needed to help in the harvesting/growing process more equally with men. Wheat growing societies women are less equal because they weren"t as needed, men had to use heavy plowing equiptment. In today"s society, areas are less sexist with the ability of women to have jobs and therefore gather resources; industrialization leads to greater equality. Ex: equality in guests of the sheik. Evolutionary psychologists argue that they never expect. Cultural materialists argue that when resources increase, equality to develop in some societies equality increases. Western thinking related to the idea of thomas hobbes and his book the leviathan. Without a state lives are nasty, brutal and short. This is the founding notion in western government.
