Body Ritual Among the Nacirema and Chapter Two

There are so many people around the world and they have different ways of living. What might seem normal for them may be disturbing for us or what makes sense to us can be confusing to them. Horace Miner did a research article about the culture of Nacirema and educated us with their way of living. They use magical materials to cure their sickness and they preform rituals for every single thing they do. The Nacirema culture is obsessed with their mouths, so they try to keep it as clean as possible and they also preform rites on the month.

 

They say that the month is the key to all social interaction and relationships, so if there was something wrong with your month they believe that you would not have any friends or companionship. This is kind of their socolgy among their own soceity. I believe that this research paper followed every single one of the qualifications of a well written research paper. Looking through chapter two I see the elements of social science reseach, where in this culture used the different magical charms to worship as well as heal them from any pain or desieaes. 

 

This article was well explained and well thought out, there was no way in the article where I was confused because everything was well written. The methods of collecting data was excellent, in the article there were different words that had to be translated in english and it was done. Many questions were answered, there was a fair amount of interview that were very helpful to the article. Horace Miner was witnessing rituals which was like looking at experiments taking place because sometime the elders of the culture will preform rituals but don't know the outcome of it. I enjoyed reading and learning about another culture and also reading an amazing research aricle.
