Margaret Mead studied three different cultures along the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea: the Arapesh, the Mundugumor, and the Tchambuli.
The Arapesh were a peaceful and cooperative society, where both men and women exhibited nurturing and gentle behaviors. The Mundugumor, on the other hand, were known for their aggressive and competitive nature, with a focus on warfare and dominance. The Tchambuli had distinct gender roles, with women being the dominant and practical ones, while men were more emotional and focused on their appearance.
Out of the three cultures, the Arapesh seems most familiar to me. This is because their emphasis on cooperation, nurturing, and gentle behaviors aligns with many of the values and behaviors that are often encouraged in Western societies. The focus on peaceful coexistence and the lack of aggressive or dominant behaviors are more in line with my own cultural background and personal experiences.
