The ¡Kung San is a society of hunters and gatherers of Africa, which survives in several African countries (Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa), whose society and culture are similar to the Eskimos, where women have a role very important because they are the harvesters of fruits, roots, while men hunt with arrows to obtain meat. Riches are collective because they depend a lot on each other. The ¡Kung consider the Earth, the first mother of all the inhabitants of the tribe, and gender roles are not immutable, being able to hunt women and collect men.
- Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan inspired the "Unalienable rights" outlined in the Declaration of Independence.
Thomas Hobbes's <em>Leviathan or the Matter Forme and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiastical and Civil, </em>written in 1651,<em> </em>became one of the most influential written masterpieces on politics and philosophy in the history of humankind. His ideas about the <u>fundamental rights of individuals </u>and the need of a <u>Social Contract </u>(laws and regulations) for a society to thrive were deeply influential in the writing of the Declaration of independence as well of the Constitution.
It is interesting to note that not all of Hobbes's beliefs were agreed upon by the Founding Fathers, for example, his belief in government with absolute power over individuals. Nevertheless, his ideas were complemented along with John Locke's ideas regarding unalienable rights (Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness) and limited government.
