Diversity, or rather the lack of understanding of diversity, is perhaps one of the most prevalent problems in the world today. Although the World Wide Web has bridged the cultural gap to some extent, it will never reveal the truth completely or accurately, simply because it is difficult to fully understand cultural meanings from an outside perspective. Before the Internet, careers in anthropology and similar fields made information available through reading and ethnographic study. A key question that anthropologists seek to answer is the distinction between and the role of sex, gender, and sexuality within each distinct culture. Y The Last Man and other ethnographic texts connect culture, its language, and the formation of gender roles, sex, and sexuality in a given society. Y The Last Man begins with Yorick, a young man who lives and works at home and talks to his girlfriend, Beth. Yorick works out while Beth wears short shorts and a bikini top in Australia (Vaughan, 6). We learn right away about some gender differentiation in culture. Y The Last Man is a unique graphic text filled with examples of what could happen during extreme gender imbalance. It is interesting what can be learned from a culture when normal elements and frameworks are manipulated. In the case of Y The Last Man, Yorick is the last male on earth (not counting his pet monkey Ampersand). Gender roles change as women attempt to take on the roles abandoned by men in desperation to cling to something normal (Vaughan, 68-75). Food and resources become scarce and women resort to selling the bodies of dead men for food (Vaughan, 47).
