The Azande
1. What are the major institutions and beliefs in your own culture that function similarly?
I am Mexican, part Spaniard and Ecuadorian, and growing up I was taught much about the importance of religion and the supernatural. I think in every culture religion is just as important, because it gives all of us a sense of faith, hope, and humanity to the world. I know not everyone believes in “other forces” among their eyes, but my culture does. We are strong Catholic believers, and we know there is more to this world than just what our eyes can withhold.
Much like the Azande, I believe that there are people who have gifts given to them at birth as well. The Azande people know that once they are born, they are given the gift of witchcraft. Just like some people in my culture have the ability to see, talk, and hear those who are no longer living. We both believe in the aspects and lurks about death.
2. Think about the ways in which members of your society are compelled to behave in socially acceptable ways. How do these differ from one another?
The way I see this is that in our society we are all mixed and in different areas. We are all forced to learn about respect, and cooperation towards one another. In our society men and women can play the same roles, have same work ethic, and children. We are such a diverse country others might see this as a dishonor or just straight up “unusual”. There could even be those who see our life style as a freedom.
The Azande people remind me as of being “old-fashioned”. Just for the fact that the men, play the big role in the family. They are the leaders basically the “big man on campus” but for the family. Now the women stand by their men and take care of their children. In their community they all stick together and marry within them. They aren’t so diverse like us; they even have websites so they could stay connected and together. In our society we do whatever we
