Article 8 Life without Fathers or Husbands
By Clifford Geertz






1 The Na have figured out a very unique way to eliminate jealousy almost the people that are in the area by allowing the freedom to make love to anyone and it is not a giant ordeal and either man or woman could be the one asking the other out. While there are downfalls to this type of open sexual forum such as disease which is very prevalent in their society it does seem to be a very strong regulated system.
2 Na culture has rules that make it possible to exclude others that is true. But it is also true that the freedom of asking out members of both sexes are permitted to seek out members of the opposite sex. So even though it's different and not the same way that everyone has decided to live there still is order and balence within their culture.
3 The Na have a very different form for being intimate with each other. but there is no way of saying that one is better than the other. There is just as much abnormality in any other culture in the world. And I would characterize them as unique but they do not vary so much to say that they are not people.
4 Now it's not that I'm surprised to find that this altered style of living has eventually has been fought against. But the real thing to think about is that these people who so many deem to be incestuous or primitive have found away to take away from jealousy and increase genetic diversity within that culture witch as I find more and more out would seem to be a direction that we would want to pursue but we seem to be too stuck in our ways. Which doesn't surprise me but i wish we could change.
