In order for human beings to be fully developed in all regards, they must first understand how to respect all things, both living and inanimate. This is a very wise statement. Indigenous education, at its innermost core, is education about the life and nature of the spirit that moves us. This quote closely relates to the previous quote I selected to write about.

He further states that people, in essence, are turning themselves into the most lucrative cash-crop of all due to this pulling trend of a single money centered culture. I believe that some of what Jacobs is saying about people being able to bear much of their own cost is true. The argument that people, though they require certain expensive inputs reproduce and bear much of their own costs, holds some bearing.
