Tribal society was communal. This makes the
transition from their society into an economy
that is competitive very difficult.
(TRUE) or
(FALSE)
ANSWER:
Some people feel that sharing and being helpful
to one's relatives is a kind of divine command.
Others feel that competition for goods and
inheritance, and accumulation of goods, is a
divine command. Perhaps both groups have the
right to think as they choose, but the
difference in thinking does make it difficult
for the Indian to move into non-Indian
society.
