I do agree with Ishmael when he says that everybody is from the same culture. When he says that everybody is from the same culture, what I think he means is that where we are from has a lot to do with who we are when we grow up. Like he mentioned to julie, if you are a baby, and you are given to another society with another way of living you would conform to that and that would become who you are. On page 48, he tells her,"Bring a farmer's baby up amoung foragers, and he'll be a forager. I would have to agree, because that even works out with races or how much money your family has.
Personally, I agree with Ishmael. I think that the whole reason why we're like this is because of our human flaws. Nobody can be perfect, no matter how hard they try. Everybody has their own idea of perfect and nobody could possibly cover all of those ideas.
The takers are, what in our modern world the men and women that work in big coorporations and recieve and handle all the money that is to be handled. The Leavers are more like the men and women who believe that we should be more like a community where people would each get what came to them and live on what they had.
