BOOK RESPONSE QUESTIONS: NISA (Provide essay-style answers [e.g., complete sentences] to the following questions. Answers should be well above minimum word limits!) #1: (100 words minimum).

(b) Next, describe some ways that their practices and feelings about marriage, sex, and love are similar to our Western ways. (c) EITHER provide an example of !Kung patterns of sex/love/marriage that you like better than our own Western habits (and tell WHY you like it better) OR provide an example of !Kung patterns of sex/love/marriage that you find less desirable and unappealing compared to our own Western habits (and tell WHY you find it less
