This passage from Benjamin Franklin is about the social and cultural nature of the native Americans in which Franklin had experience. The line, "Savages we call them, because their Manners differ from ours, which we think the Perfection of Civility," intrigues me because this is true for all humans. It gave me the realization that we are quick to judge others that have a different mind set than we do.
A main theme in this passage is the relationship between men and women. Franklin states that woman are ordained to prepare food, nurse children and other hospitable jobs. Meanwhile, men hold the most influential positions in the community. Such as, hold councils and hunt for prey. I think that this view of the community is wrong. Woman have just as much ability to lead as men do. I believe this form of thinking is no more today, and this is why we have succeeded throughout the years.
