Ishmael and Mother Culture

Mother Culture is the concept that everything we have now and in the future that is given moves our society forward.  "Mother Culture is a quiet voice that moves your whole society.  Mother Culture includes everything in your existence that perpetuates a mentality of domination and dominion."  This concept is important to Ishmael because it is to realize the differences between leavers and takers motivation and reason.

I would not like to consider myself as a taker according to this novel but in many ways I am.  According to this book we are all takers, one who takes what they need in order to survive anyone who are not hunters and gatherers are takers, not leavers.  So Mother Culture to me should mean that I go by the taking and destroying earth morals basically, this sort of talk in my head.  But I am not a fan of how black and white these two terms are so therefore mother culture for me would be giving back to mother the best I can, and showing respect to my home, these types of voices in my head.  If mother culture is that voice in ones head that tells them how behave in a certain place and time then i do follow the voices but most definitely not all of the time or often enough.   


How does mother culture inform how you make decisions?
Mother culture is everything i guess since the  beginning.  So here we are now and we can see how we have made our decisions from how poorly in shape our home is and how our fellow man lives his life now.  Poor decisions were made.

 How are you moral habits influenced by mother culture?
Well mother culture is everything, it is the voice in our head that tells us how to act a certain way to get by in society.  I don't like to think all of my habits are influenced by mother culture and yet they are.  

Mother Culture represents how things are going now, right now.  How everyone is caught up in their own shit and not so much worrying about everyone's shit as a whole, in togetherness.  This is a singular time period.   So by thinking this I think mother culture influences my perception of right and wrong as we are all in a time of wrong.  Some have the right idea, but most don't seem to grasp it or just don't have the strength or courage to grasp it.
