The rent man
Someone is knocking on Amandas door. Amanda is home, but she does not answer. It is the man who
owns the house where she lives. His name is Mr. Campbell. Amanda calls him the Rent Man. He has
come by to get the rent money Amanda owes. Amanda does not have the money to pay him. Amanda
lost her job at the auto factory three and a half weeks ago. I worked there for 15 years, Amanda thinks
to herself. She is bitter. But it took them just one day to take my job away. Amanda has no idea when
she will find another job. Lots of other people from her factory lost their jobs three weeks ago, too. She
looks for work every day. She looks for work at a restaurant. You have never worked at a restaurant,
the owner tells her. This job is not for you. She looks for work at the bookstore. We dont have any
jobs right now, the clerk tells Amanda. She looks for work at the grocery store. I will call you to let you
know, the manager says. Amanda is worried. She is running out of money quickly. There is another loud
knock at the door. Amanda sits quietly in her kitchen. She hopes the Rent Man will go away soon.

The Brenner
The Brenner family has a mom, a dad, three boys, two dogs, a hamster, and four frogs. They are very
happy. Their house is very small. Mom and Dad share one bedroom. The three boys share one bedroom.
Their names are Billy, Bobby, and Brad. All the pets sleep in the living room. Mr. and Mrs. Brenner came
home today from the doctor with news. It is very big news. There are going to be two more of us, Mrs.
Brenner says with a smile.
I am pregnant. Billy, Bobby, and Brad cheer. We will have a basketball team, Billy says. And do you
know what Dad and I have decided we need? asks Mrs. Brenner. A coach? asks Bobby. No, Mr.
Brenner says with a laugh. A bigger house. Over the next week, the Brenner family starts looking for a
new house. On Monday, they see a brick house with a big front porch. It has three bedrooms. Mr.
Brenner likes this one. On Thursday, they see a wooden house with a big backyard. It has four
bedrooms. Mrs. Brenner thinks this house is great. On Saturday, they see a house with four bedrooms
and a pool. The boys like this house a lot. They dream of having their friends over for a swim. But its
smaller than the house we live in now! Mrs. Brenner says. All of the houses cost a lot of money. I think
we need to save more money before we buy a bigger house, says Mr. Brenner. Mrs. Brenner agrees.
Soon, two new babies arrive in their very small house. Their names are Brandi and Brooke. The two baby
girls sleep in a crib by their parents bed. Mr. Brenner buys a basketball hoop and puts it in the driveway.

Pesticide suicide
Most of the farmers are extremely poor. Attracted by cheap loans from pesticides traders and the
prospect of a quick buck, they borrowed heavily to raise cotton on small plots of land.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the crop losses and destruction in Andhra Pradesh arose from
the repeated application of excessive amounts of chemicals - a practice actively encouraged by
pesticides traders.
The suicide of Samala Mallaiah in Nagara village grabbed media headlines. He owned one acre of land,
leased two more and grew cotton on all three. After making a loss in the first year, he leased yet more
land in an attempt to recover. Confronted with falling prices, mounting debts and pest attacks, he
committed harakiri. Cotton has given us shattered dreams, said one old farmer in Nagara village.
As many as 60,000 small farmers in the region of Andhra Pradesh, southern India, have taken to farming
cotton instead of food crops. Some 20 of them have recently committed suicide by eating lethal doses of
pesticide.
Whitefly, boll weevils and caterpillars multiplied and destroyed their crops, despite the constant
application of pesticides. The average yield of cotton fields in Andhra Pradesh fell by more than half in
just one year. Now the farmers are in no position to repay the loans or feed their families.
Nearly half the pesticides used in India go into protecting cotton, the most important commercial crop
in the country. However, pests have shown increased immunity to a range of pesticides. Last year there
were heavy crop losses due to leaf-curl, which is caused by the dreaded whitefly. This nondescript,
milky-white fly sucks sap from the cotton leaves, making them curl and dry up. The fly struck first in
Pakistan and north-western India. Then it turned south.

Natural science
But modern anthropology stands opposed to the view that anatomy is destiny. Men are taller, heavier,
and stronger than women; hence it is "natural" that hunting and warfare should be male specialities.
Men have higher levels of testosterone; hence they are "naturally" more aggressive, sexually and
otherwise, and are "naturally" dominant over women. Since differences in the anatomy and physiology
of human males and females are so obvious it is easy to be misled into believing that sex-linked roles
and statuses are primarily biological rather than cultural phenomena. As the underlying demographic,
technological, economic, and ecological conditions to which these sex-linked roles are adapted change,
new cultural definitions of sex-linked roles will emerge. Moreover since women menstruate, become
pregnant, and lactate, they "naturally" are the ones to stay at home to care for and feed infants and
children. Nor are women born with an innate tendency to care for infants and children and to be
sexually and politically subordinate. Rather it has been the case that under a broad but finite set of
cultural and natural conditions certain sex-linked specialities have been selected for in a large number of
cultures. Males are not born with an innate tendency to be hunters or warriors or to be sexually and
politically dominant over women.
