One possible explanation to why this process started on different dragons in the islands is based on Gause’s principle of competitive exclusion as two species that have…

In chapter 1, Cohen discusses a capitalist society as one in which individuals hold ownership privately and utilize their skillsets/good fortune for personal gain rather than working towards the benefit of the common body. He seems to paint those operating in capitalist societies as somewhat selfish and self-serving, as illustrated by the example of Harry, who claims he deserves the better fish since he is better at fishing. Furthermore, Cohen illustrates the strained relationships which, in accordance with the text, might potentially develop as a result of the capitalistic market system and private ownership qualities, as other camp members become annoyed with whoever demands to have more benefits based on their skill sets or other predisposed factors.…
