Look at the following descriptions of different cultures. Decide for yourself whether you think that they are true or they are false. Use quantifiers such as majority of, minority of, a great deal of, a great
number of in your speech.
Example: In my opinion, the first statement is false. The majority of people agrees that beauty is a
state of being healthy, but people, who are fat, are not healthy at all.
1. There were some Arab people who thought that to be really beautiful, a
woman should be so fat that her thighs would slap together loudly as she
walked.
2. Some North American Indians have huge parties with all their friends
where they give away almost everything that they own
3. The first Europeans to Tasmania thought that Tasmanians were not real
humans so they hunted them with horses and hounds because there were
no foxes on the Island.
4. There is an African tribe where it is against the law for you to marry
anyone with the same name as one of your parents.5. In some societies, men can only get a wife by stealing her from another
family

это совершенно нормальный психологический фактор, без которого, увы, не было бы эволюции. фактор "быть лучше" в чем либо, соревноваться с соперником, не только в спорте, но и в жизни, так сказать "мериться размерами своего достоинства", заложен в нас ещё с тех самых дальних пор, когда мы лазали по веткам и кушали бананы. в природе выживает сильнейший. так заложено для того, что бы менее приспособленные и более слабые сородичи не оставляли потомства. должен выжить сильнейший, что бы в дальнейшем род был сильнее, выше, быстрее. но если в природе все логично и понятно, то в современном мире, у homosapiens соревновательный фактор выживания работает немного иначе.совсем не обязательно, что слабый, не способный человек не сможет продолжить своего рода. фактор "быть лучше других" нам уже не на столько жизненно необходим как в дикой природе. однако, согласитесь, у человека, который чего то добивается, больше шансов при успеть в жизни.   но так же, фактор "соревнования" нужен нам не только с целью стать выше других, но и с целью стать выше себя самого. поднять самооценку, утвердиться. таким образом мы выяснили, что существует три причины соревнований людей. природный, выделяющий и самоутвердительный.
