Weaknesses Of Hunter-Gatherer Bands

Improved Essays
Weaknesses can be turned into strengths by having members of their own hunter-gatherer bands communicate with one another. Bands are small societies during the hunter-gatherer era that consist of approximately 30 individuals who may be a part of a larger tribe that contains many bands. This communication within one’s band could involve helping a certain individual develop his/her weaknesses into strengths. This will assure that one can overcome their fear of weaknesses. Although turning weaknesses into strengths can help an individual flourish into a “flawless” hunter-gatherer, those strengths may become one’s enemy during the hunter-gatherer era. If one is a good hunter, but has poor craftsmanship, how will this individual build his/her weaponry?

    Looking over the directions on how to complete the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment it sounded like another psychological analysis into our minds to track the way we think (Anderson, Clifton, & Schreiner, 2006). It reminded me of a test given by major companies to a candidate for an available position to see what made you tick or find out if you would steal from them or go postal on the whole company. But to my surprise I actually learned something about myself, things that came natural to me to the point of not really paying any attention to them. According to this assessment my top strength is Strategic which does make sense to me when I started to review the results printed out on my report.…

    Have you ever wondered why the modern world is so unequal? Why the United States is so technologically advanced while places like Papua New Guinea and places in Africa still rely on a hunter-gatherer way of life? Jared Diamond contemplates these questions through his exploration of geographic luck and evaluation of the first development of guns, germs, and steel. Among the various contributors to the initial progression of growing nations (and guns, germs, and steel) include: the cultivation of wheat, smallpox and malaria resistance, general continent shape and location, as well as the development of writing. Cultivation of wheat led those in the fertile crescent to surpass others who didn’t have the advantage of hearty grain to keep them…

    Every individual person in the modern world is innately capable of performing similar duties as everyone else, yet people differ immensely in cultures and beliefs. The levels of advancement and innovation are also unmistakably diverse, leading to certain societies dominating and seizing control over others. Recognizing the causes of these economic and social dissimilarities is crucial in analyzing and attempting to find an approach in dealing with world conflicts. Jared Diamond, an ornithologist, was posed a seemingly simple but very complex question by a local politician named Yali. During a casual conversation, Yali simply asks why the Westerners had already developed so much technology and goods when settling, while the Natives in New Guinea…

    Janny Scott and David Leonhardt stated that “… But if you persevere, you can overcome adversity. It has to do with a person’s willingness to work hard, and I think it’s always been that way” (4). It means no matter what level we are, no matter what the circumstances are, hard work can always help us all go on. Social adversity may cause lower people to lose their talents and limit their development because they do not have a lot of opportunities to show themselves. However, they should make constant efforts and never stop making progress in order to improve ourselves.…
