Super Inuit

One thing that I think is being overlooked in discussing the ways of the Inuit, is the comparison of their culture to ours.

Of course things they do may be far opposite from the things we do as Americans, but keep in mind, Americans are weird people as well. At least just the way I see them.

The Nacirema article we read in class that one day helps back this up, actually it fully supports my point. Our "practices" and "rituals" are looked upon as very very different if an Eskimo were to see us on our daily routines.

We are not "better" people because we have a higher value for life in America, we just have different morals. No race or culture is better than another, just different about how we go about things.

People may be disgusted with how Inuits go about their lives, but to be honest, looking at the practices of some Americans, I am disgusted by the things we do, and the things we idolize, it's ridiculous some of the time. Of course this does not apply to the entire population, but in no way are we allowed to say we are "better" than anyone else, because this is a common misconception among many Americans today.
