I need short answers for following questions
The excerpt by Gregor on the Mehinaku describes the institution of marriage, ideas about sexual attraction, and infidelity. (Since this was published, the Mehinaku have experienced a great deal of social change.)
a. Why is being married so important for Mehinaku?
b. How important in romantic love in marriage? How do spouses relate to each other?
c. What is the Mehinaku view on premarital sex? Illegitimate children? How do these ideas contribute the prevalence of extramarital affairs?
d. What is "alligatoring?"
e. According to Gregor, Mehinaku men and women have different sexual expectations, partly due to differences in socialization. How are the social development and expectations of men and women different?
f. Gregor concludes that the high level of extramarital affairs actually contributes to village cohesion. What is his reasoning here?
g. What similarities can you find between the Mehinaku example and Malinowski's description of Trobriand village life? What differences?
