Questions for discussion:

1. What does morality mean to Mongolian and Tuvan people, and how does it shape their ideas about love and adultery?
    
2. What part do traditional and new ideas and practices play in their conception of gender, love and adultery?
    
3. How do Western moral rules differ from Mongolian and Tuvan exemplary morality?
    
4. How does Mongolian and Tuvan morality differ from its Western counterpart, and what implications does it have for negotiating social and political change (for groups of people and for individuals)? (This leads to a discussion of flexibility and symbols, dead and living bodies and Verdery's book.)
