6. Why do you think the Inca required everyone in their society to do a specific job? Do you
think this is a good idea for a society? Explain.
• I feel that the Incas wanted everyone to pull their own weight and to have a purpose in society. The Incans also wanted people to be functioning members in a society. That way they will stay loyal because they are an integral part of the society. I think this is a good idea for people to work together for a common purpose and it puts a value on their lives.
