Body Ritual among the Nacirema Nacirema culture These people spend a lot of time doing a ritual activity focused on the human body [appearance and health] They believe that the body is ugly and can pick up diseases There are several shrines in the houses for the ritual Focal point of the shrine is a box/chest which is built into the wall They keep many charms and magical potions in this chest They believe they can’t live without them Miner, H. (1956). Body Rituals Among the Nacirema. American Anthropologist, New Series 58 (3), pg. 503-507

Alienation Conformity A feeling that one does not share the major goals and values of society Changing one’s behaviour or attitude to follow the beliefs, rules or guidelines of other people in a group Bullying Individual feels like an outsider Having no friends at school Giving up your seat to a disabled/elderly person in a crowed subway

“Mean Girls”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_2zUjuKTpU

Conformity at School: Scenarios Before School At School After School Getting ready for school and your commute to school At School During class and lunch period After School After last period and into the night

Task: Write out your daily routine Answer the following questions: Why do you do the tasks you have outlined? Describe how others would treat you if you didn’t do the tasks. How does this example relate to ideas of conformity and alienation?

Subjective Validity The universal belief that our attitudes are right and proper Reinforced through belonging to a group with similar views Without it we feel uncertain (this is uncomfortable for us)

Two Types of conformity Informational Influence Desire to accept information that another, admired person tells us is valid Normative Influence Pressure to conform to the positive expectations of others

Consolidation: Exit Cards Name one thing you learned today Name one thing you are having trouble understanding Name one activity you enjoyed doing today.
