The body ritual of the Nacirema

Initial posts should be at least 250 words long (indicate at the bottom of your post). A “golden line” is a sentence or two that you found especially meaningful, surprising, helpful, or thought-provoking. In your post this week, share one or two golden lines that stood out to you from The body ritual of the Nacirema in this week's additional materials. This piece from the 1950s may feel outdated in some ways, but it still has some important messages for students of anthropology today. As you read, consider: Would you like to live among the Nacirema? Why or why not? What do you think the author is trying to accomplish with this essay? Why did you choose that line in particular? How does the topic or concept that was addressed apply to your life? How does this line relate to the concepts/issues/topics in this week's lectures? Please only use the source I provided and do not use the textbook (use the terms, but no need to cite them as they are common to the field of cultural anthropology). Thanks! :) Post the reference/s at the bottom and please do not mention the complete title in the post. Cite the reference at the end using APA Style Guidelines Highlight or bold your Golden Line Include a word count RESOURCES: https://www(dot)sfu(dot)ca/~palys/Miner-1956-BodyRitualAmongTheNacirema.pdf https://courses(dot)lumenlearning(dot)com/readinganthology/chapter/body-ritual-among-the-nacirema-by-horace-miner/ Due to student misuse of Generative AI in this course, I am making some tweaks to a few of the research paper assignment instructions and dates in the upcoming weeks. Once published (by Wednesday, January 8), please take a look at the Final Paper assignment and work backward to understand the steps in the research paper process. Our professor has a AI detector.
