ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses different value systems and how they shape societies. It defines separation and connection, hierarchy and equal value, competition and cooperation. Groups with feminist women in them sometimes start with taking away women's property rights or introducing the men in the conquered society to the idea of violence against women. Other groups begin with introducing private property or racism or control of sexual and emotional expression. Children must be taught obedience. They must experience violence so that they will be angry enough to practise violence on others when they can. When they take this step, they must experience the rewards of controlling others through violence. English society was already stratified into classes at the beginning of the sixteenth century and subject to almost continuous warfare, but there were many remnants of the ancient, cooperative societies that had existed in much earlier times.
