1. The two general rules in my opinion are : You have a culture if the food is all owned and if it's under lock and key. They perceive themselve to be members of a race .

Yes, I agree with what Ishamel says that the people belongs to the same culture, because we're

the same and we live in the same planet and we believe in one thing.

2. No, Ishamael is in complete agreement with Mother Nature.

Yeah! I agreed with him because he says all the reasons there could be with the examples he

gives her about human culture and mother culture.

3. Ok, the Takers were the people who had to dance a lot of hours to stay alive and the Leavers

they thought of themselves as living in the hands of God. In my opinion, the Takers where the

bad guys and the Leavers and other groups just wanted a peaceful and easy life.

The connections with the American culture is that not everybody wants to be ruled by someone.
