chapter 2

The entire chapter is taking about human being, why we are different species in this world. Human is animal too, they have a lot commons as human. They have mind, we just use mind to describe human, they have their character, we just don’t use personality to describe it, they have their social and life, and we just don’t live with them. In a word, human is an upper level animal, which has a different way to live in this society and also controls animal’s environment.

Everyone belong to the society according to this chapter, “A being who is social in nature, who survives through a dependence on others, who learns how to survive from others, who develops both human qualities and individual qualities through socialization, and who lives a life embedded in society; and 2. A being who is cultural in nature, who interprets the world according to what he or she learns in society, and therefore a being whose nature is not fixed by biology but is tremendously diverse.”(pg40) I agree with this point, because form an infant born, they need to be feed to grow up, then they need to learn a lot of live skills in the social. Everyone lives in society will effect by social events, no matter you stay at home, waking in the street, or working somewhere.

Women and men does same work, even they have difference in some parts. In fact, everyone is equal, god is fair to everybody. “By the 1990s, an acceptance of the idea that women can do almost anything traditionally reserved for men had clearly evolved, even though opportunities remained limited,”(pg29) the evidence proved women is able to do almost anything that men can do. Nowadays, women and men is equal almost in everybody’s mind, sometimes, women do a better job than men.
