Body Ritual Among the Nacirema

I found the body ritual to be very weird, yet interesting. I thought that that is so strange how it so close to here because i would of never thought it was basically border line or USA. I found it also strange how they have shrines in your house today i think if someone had a shrine in there home it would be like a "haunted house". I realize that in this tribe the men have dominance. They also have this religious thing going where they use the temple as a place to basically but to rest the sick. TO me i think it was almost like a witch craft how they think women curse there children teaching them the body ritual.  at the end it kind of reflects how things are today, for example, people who are fat becoming thin. This article definitely caught my attention.

Video on the Stanford Experiment

The video on Stanford Experiment was very interest. At first i thought it was weird how people were volunteering to actually be in jail or be the officers, which i think on either part is hard. But at the same time i thought that this experiment was kind of cool because not everybody is aware of what happens behind those bars and i think people should be informed. The experiment got intense after everybody actually got into there roles. It was very weird how they became their role, they weren't playing it any more they were the role. It was very informing and even the family and friends that came to see the people who played the prisoners were affected. This experiment became a very efficient one because it became like a real prison. In the end the experiment had to end early because it became so real and everyone became apart of there roles and this was a lottery experiment it wasn't to become so much like real life and people were getting abused. I think this experiment was cool but scary towards the end.

Who Am I?

Who am I?
Well I will start off by saying that i am the person i am today because of my parents. They have raised me to be the outgoing responsible young lady I am. My mom would be the biggest influence in my life. She had me when she was 17 she finished high school in 3 years went to college and nursing school and worked to take care of me and set an example for me. She is such a smart person and i look up to her. I am headstrong,stubborn,strong minded, outgoing, confident, and i love to smile. If i have a strong opinion about something there is no changing my mind. People love my bubbly personality but i can be serious at times. My goal in life is to become a Detective in the Special Victims Unit. My purpose in life is to help people. i love to help people and see people happy.
