zach fauver Aborigine film

In class last Thursday we viewed a fascinating film on the Aborigines in Australia. There are very few of these people left, but the rest of society can learn a lot from the way they interact and completely depend on nature for survival. It is interesting to note the correlation between our lives and the life of the (I can not remember the birds name so I will call it the Zach bird) Zach bird. This Zach bird dedicates its life to attracting the best female mate possible. It builds an elaborate lair with decorative shells, grass and twigs. The male also puffs out his colorful feathers in order to attract the female. Zach bird goes through all this effort and show so that he can win over and reproduce with the best female possible. Now take a look at males in our society, they work hard so that they are able to afford nice things like cars and houses. They also go to the gym to improve their body and beef up their muscles. The main reason men put forth this effort to have nice things and a nice body, is to win over an attractive female so he can have a family, reproduce, and carry on his family name. Although humans and the Zach birds are completely different entities, they have dedicated their lives to the same pursuit.
