I did think this was a real tribe, and I believed that this was actually part of their everyday life. Just by changing the name, we easily went along with it, even though we knew nothing about it. This may be a different perspective , like someone from outside our everyday life in another country.

The author used the same words we use but instead wrote them backwards to make them seem fancy and make us believe they are real words. He described everything very precisely to make us really believe it's true. I would not like to write publishable hoaxes and fake news articles because I am not that creative to write something that descriptive.

I discovered this was a joke when we were done reading the article. The author made it sound so real I actually believed that there was a group out there called the Nacierma

In order to twist the facts, the author wrote different words backwards, so that the reader did not know what he was talking about. For example, the author wrote the word "America" as "Nacirema", "hospital" as "latipsoh", and "dentist" as "tsitned." He also twisted reality, like calling the bathroom a shrine, calling doctors medicine men, and calling medicine magical potions.

It is important because according to preconceptions originating in the standards and customs of one's own culture. Means that say that I am a native american and I watched the way that we live I would think that it was strange and confusing.

One advantage to satire is that it can allow us to view a topic from a different perspective. This could teach us that our misconceptions about that topic were wrong, and open our minds to new ideas. Living in a world were it is hard to tell what is fake news and what is real is difficult because many don't have the time to look further into suspicious reports, and end up believing something untrue. It also teaches those producing fake news that lying is a good way to make money. The positives of fake news are that it can teach people to not be so gullible.

The author wrote words that were sophisticated, and they made you think that it was true. Also, the author talked about anthropologists and other professionals, which lead you to believe that the information he was writing was true. He also slightly altered the words to make them backwards, and because we didn't have any background knowledge, we thought it was true.

I thought this was a joke when the author started talking about magic potions, and other rituals. I think the author was trying to tell show the reader how strange other cultures may look from other perspectives.

Satire can open our eyes to things around us that you would not have otherwise realized for example it opened my eyes to things like the dentist and how it does not make much sense. Also fake news can teach us to not click on everything that we see and if there is something that seems a bit far fetched then it probably is not true. In a world with fake news if people see that fake news is working they will make their own fake news and it will keep on happening until there is not more real news just fake news.

I discovered the joke after we finished reading the text and Mrs. Vliet told us and explained the joke to us. I think the authors point was to try to make people laugh and make a joke out of it.

I discovered that this was a joke when they were talking about "putting magic on their teeth" and "brushing their teeth with hog hair"

i new it was a joke when Mrs vliet told us at the end

I found out that this story was a joke at the end when Mrs.Vliet told us even though I knew something was wrong  when we were reading it. I think the authors point of reporting this kind of information was to show you that there are these kind of articles out there and that you have to be careful

The author used words that were backwards so it seemed like a word that a certain culture used. The author also made it descriptive because it would make it more realistic like he did research on their culture.

We thought this was a real tribe until the "magical paste" and dentist talk. It sounded like fake "magic" in a religion or what not which sounded a little sketchy. Also because it sounded off, we didn't think that back then they would care so much about "magical" things making them look better. I think the point of this to make you realize how we act today. While reading this, readers may think that these people are crazy and very odd. But when you find out this is just an interpretation of Americans, it changes your perspective on what we do on a daily basis.

I figured out that this article was a joke when we figured out that Nacirema is American backwards. I think that the point of the author reporting this information is to make people laugh, but also to help people realize not to trust every article you see. The author also wants the reader to realize that we shouldn't judge other cultures because they are different than what we are used to and our culture is different itself when seen from an outsiders point of view.
