For example, they “are somewhat loosely related and yet complexly interconnected” (Siebert 355), we have our seemingly perfect social system where people have their roles and their private lives; and a social network, which connects people regardless of distance. “When an elephant dies, its family members engage in intense mourning and burial rituals, holding week-long vigils around the body, carefully covering it with dirt and bushes” (Siebert 355) . Sound familiar? We too bury our deceased loved ones and organize events to say goodbye to them. We used voice, tone and gestures to communicate with each other, they "employ a range of vocalizations, from low-frequency growls to higher-pitched screams and trumpets, as well as a variety of visual cues" ( Siebert 355-356). So now, with all these similarities, the connection between humanity and elephants is too obvious to be mere coincidence. This is the moment where a question arises: if we are so similar, could the things that happen to elephants also happen today or in the near future to humans? Will we all one day turn into beastly creatures and kill other species, as well as our own, and become extinct? It seems scary to imagine, but we are not very far from it. We've been killing each other and hunting animals for thousands of years. So what is the one thing that still helps us stay sane and exist? In the case of elephants, we owe a lot to the older women in our lives. Charles Siebert's essay believes and scientifically proves that alien elephant violence is largely attributed to the disappearance of the matriarch and experienced female from the herd. We too would have the same reactions in the absence of these women, as shown by the living example of the Citadel in “The Naked Citadel” by Susan Faludi. The male students of
