What might the nacirema find strange about us? list three possibilities and explain your choices.?

Horace M. Miner wrote the paper about Nacirema back in 1956. The term “Nacirema” is actually “American” spelled backwards and the article was an anthropological article describing US American, predominantly Caucasian, culture of the 1950’s. Some of the themes that this 'tribe' would find strange are  1. the superiority of his own culture 2. the inscrutable exoticness and childlike primitiveness of things and behaviors 3. the self-image obsession.

Explanation:

The Nacirema are devotee and worshippers of nature, body welfare, and self-image. They are focused on their economical duties, however, they are really connected with their spiritual side too, so based on this the Nacirema would find strange about us:

-The way we live our daily lives, too stressful, extremely busy days and not having at all times to relax and connect with ourselves, mentally and spiritually.

-The way we eat is not a secret to affirm that the diets of the majority of the American people are not too good or healthy, they promote a natural life in all aspects, so they would find strange on us this aspect as well.

-The way we talk, the average person tends to express himself in the simplest way possible, they love elaborate and polite speaking, seeing the way to communicate ourselves as an art.
