1)The first way to identify people of our culture is that we keep our food locked away. The hunters and gathers only took what they needed. The second way is that we, perceive our self as born flawed, and that no matter what we do, we cannot change this fact. As for agreeing with Ishmael, I must say that I do not. Not only are there little cultures spread throughout the world, there also people living in the life of older cultures, like the peoples of Africa and South America. In my opinion, if one can't adjust to a new environment within a short amount of time, then they are from a separate culture. If I were to become a hunter and gather, I would have to stop doing everything I do. Like having a refrigerator, or using electricity at all. No more movies or TV or anything like that.
2) I disagree with Ishmael. Probably because I have listened to Mother Culture for all of my life, so that voice is simply there, constantly battling my differences. I also believe that although humans aren't doomed to fail, we are born with sin. This flaw varies, unlike the flaw that Ishmael described. This flaw also changes from heart, perspective, personality, and intelligence.
3)Ishmael's takers and leavers explanation is relevant to how the American culture developed and was made. The idea of all day labor to receive lock and key food originates from 1 small society and/or culture a long time ago that forced it's way around. Today in America we work all day to buy a surplus of food while hunter gatherers work a small portion of the day to receive just the food they needed to survive.
