    the behavior of the Nacirema. Medicine men making potions and priests making sure water is holy are all things that I have heard about before. What really took me aback was the holy mouth man.

    Comparing the Nacirema culture to what I know to be considered "normal" from living in the United States my entire life gives you a whole new aspect of thinking towards why others act and feel the way that they do.
