It's interesting to see how a given people in a given place at a given time may respond to certain ideas presented in certain ways. It's a sort of anthropological snapshot that raises questions of change and continuity of thought over time relative to circumstances of place and culture and historical trends.
"Man's force is so proportioned to his natural needs and his primitive state that the slightest change in this state and increase in his needs make the assistance of his fellow men necessary; and when his desires finally encompass the whole of nature, the cooperation of the entire human race is barely enough to satisfy them."
The Social Contract by Jean Jacques Rousseau
