In
"Body Ritual among the Nacerima", the author makes a good point of
exaggerating the circumstances under which the Nacerima live. When the reader
finds out that the article is actually about Americans the perspective adds new
light to the situations these people put themselves through. Why, though, would
the author make these exaggerations? The extreme changes people make to their
bodies these days is just as questionable. Depending on how things are
perceived by the world, ultimately defines those things. In this article I
found myself slightly repulsed and thought most of these rituals were bizarre
and unnecessary. Although knowing what I know now I still believe some rituals
of Americans are ridiculous. People must be careful in how they perceive others
because they could be completely missing the reason behind their actions and
lifestyle.
