Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging<\/strong> Life in a Stone Age society doesn’t seem like it would be easy. But Sebastian Junger sees it otherwise. The author is probably best known for his true-life adventure story on the high seas: The Perfect Storm<\/em>. In Tribe<\/em>, he turns his story-telling ability to an anthropological subject that seems a little curious at first. He shows how tribal societies create social bonds that are incredibly powerful, contributing to a sense of allegiance, purpose and belonging — something often lacking in contemporary societies. Although life in primitive cultures can be dangerous, it’s actually less stressful than in industrialized societies.<\/p>\n Being in the military in many ways mirrors tribal life because of the experience of shared purpose and communal living. Being in combat takes it even one step closer — and Junger discusses how these experiences create a deep sense of bonding against a common enemy.<\/p>\n Check out Research@UWW for additional Sebastian Junger<\/a> titles.<\/p>\n
