3 topics that I interested in

  When Corporations claimed the rights of human, they owns the rights of free speech, privacy and the right of self-protection. this amendment which considered corporations as persons give them more power to dominate this society.
"Corporations today play a role that was historically filled by royal courts: they control most of the wealth and exert power over the lives of most citizen." (Pg 221)

The structure of a tribal or democratic group.
"Tribe are characterized by five traits:
1. Political independence.
2. Egalitarian structure.
3. Getting their resources from renewable local sources.
4. Having a unique sense of their own identity
5. Respecting the identity of other tribes." (Pg 194)

Our culture's growth has similiarities to cancer.
" It re-routes blood vessels intro it, and consumes the spaces and tissues of nearby organs in its orgy of growth. It takes over. It's called cancer."(P 160)
"So to return to the medical analogy of cells in humans, and humans as part of the Earth, historically the genus Homo has been part of nature, and has influenced its environment in ways that any other nature predator and modifier of the environment- from tigers to termites- inevitably do."(Pg 162)
