Ishmael's rules on how to identify people from different cultures is that they keep their food under lock and key, and they think their race is doomed to suffering and misery. When Ishmael talks about if people from different parts of the world are part of the same culture, I both agree and disagree. All people have their own type of religion and not every religion says that you are doomed and flawed.
I disagree with Ishmael about how Mother Cultures voice saying humans are inherently flawed. I disagree with him because if you want to discover things there are certain boundaries but once you pass it you can never go back.
How the Takers and Leavers relate to the American culture is that Takers like us take away things from the world like the world's natural resources. Meanwhile the Leavers like us leave things like pollution and trash in the world.
