Question

The theft of a few head of cattle from your herd by a neighboring group of herders from whom members of your family had rustled a few head of cattle in the past would be an example of which mode of exchange?

Answer 1

Negative reciprocity

Step-by-step explanation:

Reciprocity is a form of exchanging goods on mutual terms.

There are two types of Reciprocity- positive reciprocity and negative reciprocity.

Negative reciprocity is the form in which, an exchange of things is done. But in this, an attempt is made to make someone exchange things that one does not want to give up or exchange.

In the given case, the head of cattle rustled by the family in the past was reciprocated by the other group of herder. The other group of herder also theft the head of the cattle.

This is an example of negative reciprocity.
