Culture of Exellence

I would say an example of a culture of excellence could be an indian tribe. One reason is the way they were always rewarded for their tasks with status and respect. They were motivated from within, which you don't see often today, and they took their responsibilities seriously. Maybe thats because they would starve if they didn't hunt or gather crops, but I still think it is a good example. Also the raising of children was seen as a community thing. The entire village would spend time with a child teaching them the specific traits and skills that they knew. So, instead of just learning from their biological parents the children learned from everyone. It was like a shared knowledge between the village. I think this could be a culture of excellence because of the rewards and values system they had and also the community work and shared knowledge.
