My initial views of the Nacirema peoples in Body Ritual Among the Nacirema by Horace Miner were that the Nacirema are from a backwards society in a third world country. ... I also realized that Nacirema is simply “American” spelled backwards. ... ”(Miner, 1956) The “shrines”(Miner, 1956) of the Nacirema are parallel to our American bathrooms. ... Enlargements and reductions of certain parts of the body are made through unnatural means to climb closer to that sense of perfection. ... There are hundreds of magazines and newspapers that advertise such enhancements of the body and these advertisements can be found at any street corner in America. ... The Nacirema truly makes me think twice about Americans’ everyday life and behaviors.
