A model of culture and human relations based on hierarchy, ranking, power, and control. Masculinity is equated with control, conquest, and violence: men dominating women and children. Opposite to Partnership Culture. In a domination system... Humans are flawed and dangerous. Difference is equated with superiority or inferiority. Power is used to control and destroy through hierarchies of domination. Competition means "dog eat dog"; "every man for himself". People cooperate to dominate others. Huge gaps between haves and have-nots Nature is a resource to be dominated, depleted and polluted. Morality of insensitivity, control, and coercion. (Based on the Center for Partnership Studies' summary of points from Riane Eisler's _The Power of Partnership_ and David Korten's _The Great Turning_)
