Compare matrilineal and patrilineal cultures.
Answered by Lee
I know the differences but I can’t figure out the comparisons.
Matrilineal- term for a family organization in which kinship ties are traced through the mother.
Patrilineal- term for a family organization in which kinship ties are traced through the father.

This site has an excellent description of matrilineal culture from a feminist point of view.

Look at who has the power in each culture. Look at what is valued in each culture.

How are the cultures similar?
Answered by Zee
Ok read it but there is no comparison of the 2 cultures.
Answered by Ms. Sue
No, it doesn't. You need to take what you know about patrilineal culture and compare it with what you've read about a matrilineal culture.
