    Danny Nazzaro Reading Response Paper 3/2/2014 Micah Mintz The Idea of civil forfeiture would seem outdated unless you were part of its sweeping experience. After reading such a story‚ I think it is unfair‚ obscured‚ and a way of America that people do not see. Although it seems ridiculous it does seem to have both negative and positive impacts. Civil forfeiture seems to keep law enforcement agencies running and fund their wants more than needs. The ability to seize money and use it for your

    Chinatown Reading Response The film Chinatown‚ directed by Roman Polanski‚ incorporates the image system of blindness vs. seeing to effectively increase the depth and complexity of how the plot is revealed to the audience. The effect of this is the audience feeling that they are not just watching a film‚ they are solving a mystery in time with the characters and what they see is not always the truth. This image first appears in the form of the bi-focal glasses seen at the very beginning

    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. I was shocked at the torture these people go through because of their beliefs in certain magic rituals. I’ve never had a cavity before‚ so just the thought of someone grinding holes in my teeth makes my mouth hurt. However‚ I guess if I was raised believing that these sort of mouth rituals could make help me

    Reading Response The Short Proof of Evolution Ian Johnston Humanity has watched the cycle of birth and death for generations after generations‚ therefore‚ it is logical for us to conclude that all living things on earth must have a beginning. However‚ for decades now‚ mankind has not come to an agreement on “the beginning” of everything‚ how and what caused all living things to come to life.

    Anthropologists define a ritual as an act of social practices that are repeatedly performed but are not always associated with religious beliefs or practices. These rituals are not the same as the day to day normal activity a person partakes in but more of symbolic gestures performed in a specific manner by a specific order in doing them (Lavenda & Schultz‚ 2013). The Nacirema culture performs specific ritual acts on a daily basis and as I quickly realized American culture is not that much different

    criticize on a backward culture‚ and others may judge on it fairly. Like the authors of “Body Ritual Among the Nacirema” and “Voodoo in Haiti”‚ they hold quite different attitudes and views to these exotic cultures. Broadly speaking‚ Horace Miner‚ the author of “Body Ritual Among the Nacirema”‚ criticizes Nacirema’s uncivilized culture. In the article‚ Miner describes how the tribes perform the strange sadism rituals to very extreme level. The holy-mouth-man uses a variety of tool to enlarge the client’s

    Hannah Olmstead Ashley Keyser Reading Response #1 The Real Meaning Behind “Boy” The poem “Boy” may be seen by some readers as a recollection of childhood memories entailing what it was like to once be a young child. The speaker of this poem describes the “internal wanting” to be a young boy again‚ and uses poetic devices to try and convey this in an innocent and simplistic manner. I believe‚ however‚ that the poem depicts a more painful and complicated series of emotions described by the

    In "Body Ritual among the Nacirema" Miner is ridiculing how much society cares about their appearance. He talks about the unnecessary rituals that we go through just to please society. An example the author uses is how people are never pleased with what they have. Everyone is trying to fit in with what society thinks is right. Since society has its own perception of what is beautiful women try and do whatever it takes to fit into that definition. This is why women get breast implants or breast
