World

The world compared to the Bakhtiari culture life is very different from what most people view the world. Us Americans would not like to live the way the Bakhtiari people live. The communication is different than what we do in everyday life, people in their tribe do not use cell phones in their everyday life like us. In American alot of things are luxuries to us and alot of people do not take things for granted. For their cultures, they use everything to the best of their availability. Most of their people are nomadic meaning they work within their communities to provide for everyone. For example, they hunt for their food, they make their own clothes and cooking ware, and they farm themselves. They are self- sufficient for the most part and the stuff that they do not have, they trade for it. They live in a smaller state so they do not have all the resource just given to them, they have to fend for themselves. They do not have supermarkets on every corner like we do. People in America can go to any store and can find basically whatever they want to buy because we use money for an exchange. People in America do not make their own products anymore, their aren't as many farmers or people in the industry that provide things for people as much as they use too. Now a days people are relying more on other people to do things for them expecting things to get done. Unlike the Bakhtiari people which do everything for themselves to survive, we do not. We survive off of the people that brings the goods and services for us and use currency to trade for it. We both have trading that is an integral part of our lives but we use them in many different ways to survive in our lifestyles.
