The essay you read about the rituals of the nacirema isn't speaking about some foreign society. Miner is actually writing about Americans (nacrimea is simply american spelled backwards) and how outrageous, eccentric and obsessive we are over these cross-cultural norms and values which we hold in such high regard.
Try reading his piece again now that you're aware of who he is REALLY describing.
4. What do you think of these nacirema people? Would you want to go and live with them if given the choice? Why? Again, give reasons...
