| | Arrows - Myth & Culture: Gaia: The Mother of All |
 | | The name Gaia is used by all kinds of environmental organizations to refer to the planet earth itself. | | | Now that I’ve employed that binarism, I’ll admit that there are other people who study Greek myth, and that is the Jungians and post-Jungians, a category that I suppose I have branched off from. | | | I can see in this radical globalization of myths, the underlying, displacing policies of the United States as it exerts its ideas about democracy into the Middle East, disregarding the locality of cultural myths and customs. |

| | Mother culture establishes norms and those who violate these norms are looked down on by society as being deviant. | | | Another example of Mother Culture is seen when people violate norms of society. | | | I think that Mother Culture is reflective of society as a whole-whatever force it is that influences conformity within society. |

| | Mother Nature/Father Culture |
| | (As an aside, I shall purposefully avoid any massive attempts at defining culture, for anthropologists are notorious for their varied definitions--see the excellent work by Kroeber and Kluckhohn, 1952). | | | Though I have stated this before, it seems worthwhile in repeating it again when writing about "Mother Nature, Father Culture...." (Lest I be criticized later, perhaps I should at this point partially recant for an earlier paper, Roth and Urbanowicz, 1968.) | | | The same is true for an anthropological theory on culture: there is not only a "sex-less" anthropological view, concerned (perhaps) with universal processes of thought (vide Barnett, 1953; Lévi-Strauss, 1962, 1966), but there is also a feminine point of view as well as a masculine point of view pertaining to culture, a culture. |

| | The sister-culture concept argues that there was an active interchange of ideas and beliefs among various neighboring societies and that there was not one dominant society. | | | Another, smaller group of archaeologists insist that the Olmec were not the "mother culture" of Mesoamerica, but instead were one of "sister cultures" operating in the region. | | | The idea of a "mother culture" implies that there are child cultures out there that culture itself is a product of a rational order in which one idea naturally evolves out of another. |

They not only starve their minds, but they do it deliberately, and with a sense of self-sacrifice which seems to supply ample justification. | | | There is no sadder sight in life than a mother, who has so used herself up in her children's childhood, that she has nothing to give them in their youth. | | | Though some of their charms will be missed, they will gain respect from mother's time, and some self-reliance into the bargain, while mother's tired back gets a rest, if only for a short time, either on the sofa or flat upon the floor. |
