See the natural forces as outside of their control and thus understand that their vulnerability as. Formally enacted laws have not always been used to settle disputes; some communities do not rely on them, and in the past, disputes were settled privately, between families (main goal was to restore harmonious relationshsips) In hunter gatherher societies communion with the group was essential to survival and cooperation, mutual aid, and kinship were essential to preserving order.
