Examining the many ideas that influence our worldviews and the complex fabric of human civilizations requires us to consider our own histories and experiences. Being a member of a distinct ethnic group, I have been formed by a variety of teachings and beliefs that have affected the way I view the world.

In order to shed light on how these endogenous teachings or ideas have shaped my worldview, I would like to discuss two of these below. Stressing ties to the community and family: The idea of family in my ethnic group goes much beyond the nuclear family. It includes not just close relatives but also distant cousins, members of the extended family, and even close acquaintances. 

For example, according to (Murdock 1949:71), if some behaviors of the other tribe have not seen before, there’s possibility of that kind of behavior exist in the other tribe. Nacirema is known as magical behavior of the extreme to which human behavior can go. This means that theme of “Body Ritual among the Nacirema” focuses on the other cultures extreme behaviors. Furthermore (Linton 1936:326) describe ritual of the Nacirema as the North American group residing in the region shared by the Yaqui and Tarahumara people of Mexico, the Canadian Cree, and the Carib and Arawak people of the Antilles.

This made me learn that what my culture does not practice as their belief, it is possible that other cultures practice it as their belief. Furthermore, this means that beliefs of cultures are different, depending on what the other culture itself practices or symbolize. Moreover , I learned that I should not stereotype other cultures that have different beliefs as my culture.
