MY opinion
You must kick butt on life!!
Don’t make excuses.
None of you have messed up so bad that you cannot recover.
What do you think the expression “Youth is wasted on the
young?”
Get in the faces!
Are you going to get an A? Why
not?
ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
We can do a concept map about the native
Americans. Put native Americans inthe
center?
Take a tribe. Write
about 5 of the things that we have up here.
Get in a group. You are going to
make a power point presentation together.
Each person will be responsible for one portion of the power point. The power point. Each power point section should have one slide with at least Two
facts on each related to the title.
Intro
2 man
Imagine that
we are talking from 100,000 bc till 10,000 bc. This is 97% of human history.
Somewhat like the bible,
where the first person is a murderer., we killed neandrathals 30,000 years ago.
Man all came from a trbe
about 100,000 years ago that had around 100,000 people.
There have been three major modes of survival
ways for humans. They are tribal,
agrigultural and industrial.
People lived in groups called Tribes.
Gathering
means gather food Hunting means hunt food
What
percentage of mans time on earth was G and H?
Explain what hunting and gathering means. Into men (G) and women (H)
We are now
trying to do something that has never happened in the history of the world
(WHAT ARE THE THREE epochs of man?)
Men and women are trying to be the same.
But do men
and women have differences?
Go into pods
and list 5.
Divide the
board and do a group thing.
Can we be different? Can we escape our old tribal. Man is the warrior, woman is the care giver
ways? Do we want to?
Would it be better if women
led?
There is always competition
between groups. Would we get our butts
kicked by a culture with real men?
Economics- food-
The tribe
controls the way your body works.
Tell of the story of Thai land
What are some things that you would never eat?
That is eaten somewhere.
What would
your tribe eat and how?
-tribe
religion-
For 97% of
human history, things have been 1st Spirit and 2nd Solid.
Religion is
universal.
What is the
central organizer of the society?
Animism: All things have a
soul
Since all things have souls, or contain hidden
gods, the objects of worship are numberless. Here we must look at the gods in
the ceiling and the chalk god that deliveredt he chalk to us.
Their customs would be to control the
animism. All acts would be to help a
good spirit or hurt a bad one.
Talk of deja vu, ghosts and dreams that are
premonistion.
Totem: Animal spirit that
is special to you or your tribe
That animal
would give you power and guide you.
Magic involved making deal s with the deceased or
caught animal.
The Toronto blue jays or the Eagles or the
Michigan wolverines, the atlanta
falcons
This was probably due to the need for protection
from such animals. As fields were
cleared, animals became less frightening and the gods went from animals to
humans.
How would their totem help them?
They must
also write on how the wind, bird, tree and water gods helped/hurt them on any
particular day.
Play the begining of the mask
Shaman is the priest / leader.
The chief does the political and the shaman does the religion.
Shaman does
the totem for the tribe.
He uses magic for the purposes of curing the sick
(when the women can’t first do so), divining the hidden and controlling events
and a belief in an unseen world of demons, gods and ancestoral spirits
responsive only to shamans.
The job of education is to socialization: the process by which a society prepares you for that
society.
They must
write 10 lines on what society needs its citizens to know to survive today.
Schools teach us what we need to know to survive
in our society. What is that in this /their society?
Not for mental agility, but for courage and
character.
Usually this was done through an Initiation: A month long training
As a youth both men and women were with the
mothers.
The primitive father put his trust in character,
as the modern education has put its in intellect. Initiation rites were to test courage, not knowledge.
The cultural values, tribal religion, myths,
philosophy history , rituals and other knowledge are taught. After they are full members of their tribes.
At ten they take you away . Nigerians make a house at 9 to move in to.
Usually at puberty one was a full fledged adult. What would you need to know to
survive in a gathering and hunting society?
Usually you get some permanent marking that
showed you were part of the tribe.
When you come back you are a man
You’d go off to find your totem.
In Omaha tribes this education would end at
12. Boys would know allthey need to
know .
Even tribal societies would die a sudden death
without education.
We spend much more time in schools than they do.
The
value of life
Now I’m going to tell you something really sad.
Are elders
considered great to have around?
What does an
honorable person do?
Where food
is scarce life is valuable?
This varies from place to place.
But for the most part elders, 40+ are
considered a nuisance. They are often
left behind with a ritual. There is the
indian saying “this looks like a good day to die”.
But prior to such a state there is respect for and authority for the elder. Whose opinion is valued, as they are the person with the most experience.
infanticide,
abandonment is a means of population control.
In the immune system, those
that attach and help kill get lots of food.
Those that don’t die.
Common theme: When food is rare, life is cheap
In really poor countries
people don’t name their kids until they are five.
