In this next section, we look at choices, and entitlement and possessions. These are all, arguably features of society in the 21st century, for some at least. In the assignment Tanzania hunter-gaterers we have read that the Hazda don’t have the concept of possession, they share everything.
But of course, they don’t really have objects. What about you? Do you have a lot of things? Do you think the possession of objects is a feature of the 21st century? Is it a good thing? Or not?
