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.
