Why is it incomplete to call pastoralism in Maasai society only an economic activity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it was also linked with social status and identity

Pastoralism among the Maasai was more than a way to earn money. Cattle were closely connected with food, wealth, social respect, family relationships and community identity. A person’s position could be influenced by the number and importance of cattle associated with the household. This is why the activity had economic as well as cultural and social meaning.

Option A is correct because it recognises the connection between cattle keeping, social status and identity. The other choices are incorrect: Maasai pastoralism did involve animals, it was not sea trade, and the Maasai were well known for keeping cattle. A complete answer must explain that cattle supported material needs while also expressing belonging, honour and the accepted way of life of the community.
