Making The Family Strange Essay

This essay should be no less than 700 and no more than 1,000 words long (about 2-3 double-spaced typed pages in 12-point font, but USE WORD COUNT as a guide for length). It should focus on some aspect of cultural behavior, practice or belief that you see around you (in your family, among your friends, in your social surroundings or in the media you read). Your task is to think about this culture or behavior that is familiar and natural to you and to write about it as if you were a foreign anthropologist observing primitive peoplewrite in a way that makes a familiar aspect of behavior (for example, sports, grocery shopping, a certain job/career, going to the bank, a holiday celebration, the doctors office) appear strange, exotic, unnatural, or barbaric! Go back and look at Horace Miners Body Ritual among the Nacirema as an example. You should describe, interpret, and analyze the cultural practice AS IF it was completely unknown or foreign to you, and strange or disgusting or barbaric in some way.
