I was able to establish sufficient rapport with the natives to examine these shrines and to have the rituals described to me

The daily body ritual performed by everyone include a mouth-rite. Despite the fact that these people are so punctilious about care of the mouth, this rite involves a practice which strikes the uninitiated stranger revolting. It was reported to me that the ritual consists of inserting a small bundle of hog hairs into the mouth, along with certain magical powders, and then moving the bundle in a highly formalized series of gestures.

Our review of the ritual life of the Nacirema has certainly show them to be a magic-ridden people. It is hard to understand how they have managed to exist so long under the burdens which they have imposed upon themselves.

Looking from far above, from our high places of safety in the developed civilization, it is easy to see all the crudity and irrelevance of magic. But without its power and guidance early man could not have mastered his practical difficulties as he has done, nor could man have advanced to the higher stages of civilization]]> 2022-11-16 12:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/uwcsea/69dq9dokw2d5dt3s/wish/2386536315 Read the quotes of the study and then give your opinion below.
