    Initially, after reading about Nacirema, I felt shocked by the rituals and ceremonies the people did, because of the magic driven forces that are the norms of the society. The diction used in the article emphasizes the ceremonies and rituals, because of the many steps. Nonetheless, I could not surpass the wickedness of Nacirema, with the emphasis of the shrine and potions, the article illustrates Nacirema as a place, no one wants to live in, but actually exist. However, I believe that the author is smart for naming the society Nacirema as American spelt backwards because it allows the reader to understand, the importance of the ceremonies and rituals in to the society, that shape the human being. However, I question why certain cultures do…

    At first I had trouble reading and understanding 'Body Ritual among the Nacirema’ by Horace Miner. Only after I read it through a second time did I really start to grasp the concept and the similarities to modern culture in America. I can identify with them because here where I live in Mississippi we are portrayed as a overweight state by most national media outlets.(https://wallethub.com/edu/fattest-states/16585/ (2017) These are blanket statements made by outsiders that see our state and culture from the outside, judging us through a lens that only focuses on numbers. For example, in the article it brings up ideas that some of the things we do to our body aren’t necessary but more a function of our ethnocentrism society “there are rituals…

    The Body Ritual among the Nacirema is an article written by Horace Miner for the journal American Anthropologists in 1956. There, he writes about the culture of a North American group called the Naciremans – how they are very obsessed with perfecting their physical appearance that they perform certain private rituals everyday of their lives. According to Miner, the people of Nacirema have a fundamental belief that the human body is ugly and weak, and so to counter this belief the people have made shrines in their homes to perform their everyday ritual of obsessively treating their vanity. These shrines are prominent in the homes of the families of Nacirema, and in their shrines is a chest or box attached to the wall containing “charms” used for their rituals.…

    In the ethnography “Doing Fieldwork among the Yanomamö” by Napoleon Chagnon, it is apparent that these anthropological tools are apparent in his case study of this primitive society. The tool of emic perspective is seen when Chagnon discusses the custom of aggression for the Yanomamö, a key behavior in their interpersonal politics and social interactions. The Yanomamö use aggression constructively, a behavior that we view as being somewhat taboo. Their cultural lens is shaped to encourage aggression, and without it, a person interacting with their culture is viewed as a distinct outsider. The etic perspective behind this aggression is to ensure that male members of their society have the self-confidence and strength to embody this aggressive…

    Nacirema Ritual

    • 5 Pages

    In the article, the author describes a variety of shocking rites among the Nacirema to satire as well as criticize the ethnocentrism of our modern society. I think one of the aims of anthropology is to reduce modern people’s ethnocentrism. He describes in this way, because he wants to make readers reflect that we cannot insist on the point that the culture we are immersed in are always superior and ideal. The author hopes we can abandon the thinking of examining other culture only from our own cultural perspective. In my opinion, we consider the behavior of alien nation is confusing while what we do also seems strange and bizarre in their…
