The Nacirema

In re estimate of the article Body ritual Among the Nacirema by Horace Miner, this was a very satirical piece on how native-born Americans had a very ritualistic approach towards many religious ceremonies and how they interacted with each(prenominal) other at these ceremonies. Horace Miner brought up very appalling view points about the native Americans. The way he worded his synopsis of his studies was very macabre and oppressive. Almost making the foreigners to him seem animalistic.When in real life they were doing things such(prenominal) as going to the doctor and getting their teeth cleaned just now since he did not know the tools they were using it was foreign to him. This makes me wonder what I genuinely see in other cultures to be foreign or domestic. I may go to another country in a upstage place and see very odd things and maybe be ball everywhere but to those people it is the proven science to survival for them. Also in the satirical aspect of this paper it makes m e think of how we should look at people. subsequently reading through the article it seemed that the anthropologist went into this looking for something out of the ordinary. In canvas each person seems to look and key on the interesting facts, but if you look to hard and over exaggerate it seems to imbelish what was in truth happening. So rattling it seems that even though this article was satirical in its purpose it over eggagerated the tools and purposes of medicine practices then and made people appear to be something that they actually were not.
