jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm sry idk, i thought it was math you needed help with?

OpenStudy (madhatter):

oh lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah idk much about anthropology

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

my best guess is C though because that's the only thing that doesn't fit

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but i would double check with someone who knows this stuff more

OpenStudy (madhatter):

ya same here lol i am studying it but its like french to me lol and ok

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oui oui...same here

OpenStudy (madhatter):

haha thanks do u have any suggestions for the other one

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well it depends which side of the fence you are on for that one

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which is more important: religion or government

OpenStudy (madhatter):

ok i think it can be necessary to have both lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes both are necessary of course

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but it's asking which one is more influential in shaping the culture

OpenStudy (madhatter):

hmmm well i think that it might have to be government but i ma not sure cuz i have been raised in a strong christain back round

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok why government

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it can't be a random guess, there has to be some reasoning behind it

OpenStudy (madhatter):

because if there is no goverment then there is no one to make the laws

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

true

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but what are the foundations of most laws?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

are the people making these laws religious?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure there are societies and cultures that are secular, but I think for the most part religion has shaped a lot of cultures in some form or another

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but of course, this is your opinion so don't let me sway you lol and as always, you need reasons to back up your claim

OpenStudy (madhatter):

umm ok hey i have to gocan we talk more bout this latter
