The Outsider's Perception Of Another Culture

Decent Essays
What does the article tell us about the outsider’s perception of another culture?
This article shows us how odd it can be viewing someone's culture when you have a different culture. It may be hard to understand or adapt to something you are not used to. Even when it is your own culture described differently it may seem out of the norm to us.
How does the “scholarly gaze” affect our perception of another’s culture?
I think coming from a scholar we tend to trust their opinions and perspective more. They have more credibility compared to someone else that could be making it up. Just by using different words and labels he was able to convince us that he was describing a completely different society.
How did Miner convince the reader about this

    In the article, Racism American Style and Resistance to Change: Art Education’s Role in the Indian Mascot Issue, by Elizabeth M. De La Cruz, illustrates the negative effects of non-Native Americans organizations from using Indian mascots. She points out that such organizations that use Indian mascots place a negative label on the Native American reputation by imposing ignorance of their culture. She provides various examples in which Indian mascots leads to negative stereotyping and misrepresentation of the Native American culture. In full agreement to the author, I believe that Non-Native American organization that use Indian mascots have negative consequences. The use of Indian belongings or images without proper acknowledgement of their culture can lead to disrespect the Native American culture without meaning to, misrepresenting them, and creating a negative or false stereotyping.…

    Brushing Away Bias In his article "Body Ritual Among the Nacirema" Horace Miner analyzes the exotic practices of the tribal society Nacirema, developing an intricate persuasive social commentary on the prevalence and effects of cultural prejudices and ethnocentrism on the sociological imagination. In addition to utilizing kairos, ethos, pathos and logos to exhibit that language shapes perspectives generated by cultural relativism. By writing from a different cultural perspective in a traditional manner of an anthropological study, Miner attempts to divulge the consequences of stereotypical American viewpoints on humanity’s ability to see from the outside in and bestow upon the reader a broader understanding of one’s own ethnocentric judgments…

    As a child I always had trouble fitting in. I was never the popular girl due to the fact that I’m really quiet. My classmates would always refer to me as the whitest black girl they knew due to the fact that I was and still am a very quiet person, I didn’t speak slang as often as they did, I didn’t dress like them in and going into high school I was never one for parties, drugs and alcohol. I felt isolated within my own community. So most of most of my adolescence and teenager years have been spent with me being an outsider.…

    Our culture defines us at a young age and it is engrained within us without choice. With the help of understanding this and evaluating how this affects our perceptions of other cultures, we can also understand how other cultures look at us as well. The writing Body Ritual by Miner puts into perspective of how we view our culture or how other cultures may view ours. There are different practices and rituals that can seem odd and our norms dictate and affect our understanding of them. We can examine different cultures such as the one in Madagascar to truly relate how much our norms affect how we think and perceive others that are different from us.…

    Through the essays, “Us and Them”, “Matrimony with a Proper Stranger”, “An Indian Father’s Plea”, and “Dave Barry Does Japan”, the authors prove that a person’s culture informs the way he or she views others and the world through traditions, marriage, education, and communication. The way a person views the world can have a lot to do with their culture, and cultural background. Tradition for example, can have a major impact on the way someone views the world around them. In the essay “Us and Them”, David Sedaris goes into detail about how the concept of going trick-or-treating “...was one of the things you were suppose to learn simply by being alive…” (75).…

    Often when you see something in a culture that is so starkly different from your own you often shudder at the thought or the actions. But often when it involves things that we notice as part of our own culture we are left even wondering more about it than if it was something of its own. This is seen a lot with religious things since we often think that everyone should completely submit to our way of thinking and our ideals. So when we see those same ideals mixed with people’s original ideals we are often left scrambling. We see this in Jamaica Kinkaid’s poem Girl.…
