Nacirema

This is an article that rememinds me a bit about the Colonial Present. It shows how we tend to judge different cultures through our own backgrounds and culture. I first had to read this for my senior English class and then again for Dr. Levy's Principles of Sociology. It reminded me of this book. Perhaps it will make you think twice. (Note what Nacirema spelled backwards is.)http://www.msu.edu/~jdowell/miner.html
