culturel anthropology

In the concluding article of the textbook, authors Lambin and Fagin discuss a series of choices and difficult decisions confronting humanity with regards to living sustainable lives, characterized by well being for all. This involves examining cultural values, beliefs, and behaviors. How might these choices and decisions intersect with the concepts of communitas and collective consciousness, discussed earlier in the chapter? Can we use those concepts to help inform our understanding of the choices confronting us, and to guide our decision-making process in moving toward the future?
