Directions: After reading “Body Ritual Among the Nacirema,” discuss what we can learn about ethnocentrism and cultural relativity from this article. Possible directions you could take in your comments include: How did the article lead you to feel about your own culture? How did the author’s approach help you to be less ethnocentric? What is one other aspect of our culture that we could examine in a similar way? Elaborate on your choice. Are there elements of our culture that might strike an outsider as positive, negative, baffling, or odd, and why? How could the article help you when you encounter cultures other than your own? Does the article reinforce the importance of cultural relativism? (Keep in mind that culture consists of such elements as language, beliefs, values, norms, and behaviors.) What do you think about the culture of the Nacirema?
Assignment should be between 500 and 650 words unless otherwise indicated. Make sure you provide full references at the end of your paper.
