    Initially, Faye Westover is characterized as a meek woman, even describing herself as a “pleaser,” and is fairly apologetic (27). A transformation is evident in Faye’s character as she begins to take more of a vigorous interest in midwifery and formulating herbal remedies. Her knowledge of the different uses for certain oils and energy work becomes of value, with everyone wanting her opinion on what oil should be used for “their burns, their heart tremors, their underweight infants,” which catalyzes the formation of a family-owned herbal remedy business (275). However, Faye’s deepening of holistic knowledge, as well as her capitalization of it, makes her increasingly devoted to Mormon doctrine. She believes her own treatments are more functional than pharmaceuticals due to the trust that many place in her medical opinions as opposed to real doctors, including her husband.

  • Summary Of Body Ritual Among The Nacirema By Horace Miner

    382 Words  | 2 Pages

    Horace Miner’s “Body Ritual among the Nacirema” has many rituals that seem bizarre but are a reflection of their beliefs and what they think is the proper way to address their imperfections be it the way they look, the condition of their health, or their beliefs in attaining luck or fortune. In my opinion, these rituals are, to some extent, similar to our own daily practices and rituals. Their daily rituals seem strange but these rituals and practices are somehow similar to our own daily rituals in terms of what they are trying to achieve. One similarity is how they believe that the human body is ugly so they use the powerful influences of ritual and ceremony. The more powerful members of the society have many shrines in their homes and

    This problem dates back all the way to women’s rights, and it’s almost like Mormonism has that own problem inside of their church. As previously mentioned above, Mormons are very strict with their rules and boundaries. While this may be a strength, it can also be a weakness. Yes, it allows the church to be together and the same; but at the same time it allows for no differences at all. Lindquist mentions that, “if you stray too far, you will be prevented from going to Temple, and possibly face excommunication from the church.”

  • Amish Stereotypes

    1493 Words  | 6 Pages

    In the 1500s, after Martin Luther broke off from the Catholic Church, more people wanted to create their own reformed church (Nolt 11). Some of these people, called the Anabaptists had created their own church that had to meet privately in order to escape persecution. Eventually this group of people would split off into Mennonites and Amish communities. To this day, the Amish have stayed humble in their spiritual lives, while outsiders still see them as ‘weird,’ since they do not fit in. The Amish people have a wide sense of spirituality, which is difficult to comprehend as an outsider; therefore, outsiders meaninglessly apply stereotypes to the Amish to try to understand their lifestyle.
