The author says that it was reported to him which makes you think that that was really true when it was not. Therefore the author twists facts to make it seem like this is true.

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.  ]]> 2017-09-11 12:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dvliet/mt5ebtqt58l0/wish/186339978 2022willettm https://padlet.com/dvliet/mt5ebtqt58l0/wish/186339992 Some words that Horace Miner used in this article to twist the facts is latipsoh, which is hospital backwords, and tsitned which is destint backwords. He also refred to things we use in our everday life as magical pastes, and shrines. Which are really tooth paste and mirrors. Doing this causes people to think that the Nacirema (Americans) are werid, but really this is what they do on a daily basis so they are looking at what they do but from a diffrent view, so there judgements are diffrent. ]]> 2017-09-11 12:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dvliet/mt5ebtqt58l0/wish/186339992 2022fackrellj1 https://padlet.com/dvliet/mt5ebtqt58l0/wish/186340065 There are many advantages to fake news such as using false headlines as clickbait in order to get ratings up, or to get people onto your website.

While reading about Narcirema comments about the cultural being packed with weirdos and crazy people who believed in witchcraft  floated around the room. When we discovered that the article was actually describing the "preening" routines of americans, we were quick to say, "oh, well that sounds far more normal." Knowing that it's actually US who follow these weird practices doesn't make the situation any less strange, this thinking just shows how highly we think of ourselves.
