Rituals In Tenretni Culture

1298 Words6 Pages

Rituals in Tenretni Tenretni culture is characterized by a sophisticated mystical society which has evolved in a bountiful natural habitat. Although most of the people 's time is dedicated to the practice of sorcery, a significant growing number of young people dedicates much of their time on perfecting human-efficiency. The focus of this activity is to capitalize time, the appearance and well-being of which engulfs the spirit of the people. While such an issue is definitely common, its ritualistic aspects and affiliated philosophy are remarkable.
The rudimentary belief underlying the whole system appears to be the human 's dedication towards capitalism as well as masochism. Imprisoned in such a fixation, people 's only aspiration is to …show more content…

awesome."
After interviewing the child, she undoubtedly supports the worshipping of the sanctum, and she is likely to embrace further enhancements of this sanctum. 2. In the second interview, a teenager responded the questions:
"The function of this sanctum enables me to communicate with my friends and family without physically being there."
"We are the dedicated and loyal worshippers. We spend most of the time discussing and assisting each other to ensure our sanctums continue to thrive."
"The most significant positive trait lies in its effectiveness, which preserves much of our time for other important matters. The negative trait lies in its ineffectiveness, which fails to preserve enough time for our daily schedule."
After interviewing the teenager, I finally discovered that this is not a sanctum, but it is merely an instrument for the Tenretni culture to extinguish their technological pursuits. 3. In the third interview, an adult responded the questions:
"The purpose of this sanctum essentially grants me inaccessible knowledge that other cultures can only dream of. It is to increase our intellect and …show more content…

Although the purpose and the function of this sanctum became more clear, the motive behind each interviewee for embracing or denouncing the sanctum remains as an enigma. Nevertheless, the Tenretni culture 's pursuit of happiness, typically amongst the younger age groups, lies in the sanctums effectiveness to deliver entertainment, knowledge, and message without the worshipper to physically be there. Whether it is a capitalistic perspective or an masochistic attitude, one element is for certain: the sanctum can be the rise of Tenretni and the demise of Tenretni. How long will this culture thrive? How long until this culture perish? As an anthropologist, I must objectively remain as a spectator until another

I highly recommend this book to everybody who wants to understand the plight of workers in a capitalist nation. Notably, this book is relevant today, given that oppression in the workplace is yet to be eliminated. When people read this book, they get a picture of the mess created by the capitalist

    I was very scared after reading Miner’s article because of the descriptive details he used. If I had to practice those rituals I would be contemplating my life because it would be better than having to go through pain. Throughout Miner’s article, he describes Nacirema culture as both a material and nonmaterial culture. An example that shows that the Nacirema is a material culture is the fact that all the households that are of the Nacirema culture have shrines, and out of all the rooms in the houses, the shrines are the wealthiest rooms. Miner described that the families who are poorer put pottery plaques on the walls of their shrines to make them look a lot richer and imitate the richer families.

    The first to fourth centuries AD saw a rise in the popularity of this mystery cult. The fact that Mithras worship comprised covert initiation rituals done in underground temples called Mithraea really intrigues me. Its attraction was heightened, especially among Roman soldiers and traders, by the picture of Mithras slaughtering a bull as a representation of his function as a mediator between heaven and earth. My fascination with Mithraism is its hierarchical structure, which includes initiation stages and promotes a sense of community and development among its adherents.

    Heavily influenced by Max Weber, Peter Berger was interested in the meaning of social structures. Berger’s concern with the meaning societies give to the world is apparent throughout his book The Sacred Canopy (1967), in which he drew on the sociology of knowledge to explain the sociological roots of religious beliefs. His main goal is to convince readers that religion is a historical product, it is created by us and has the power to govern us. Society is a human product. Berger made it very clear from the beginning, that society is a dialectic phenomenon; it was produced by us and in return, produced us too.

    For instance, the authors consider the neo-conservative marketist belief in a system of free and unregulated enterprise that is intrinsic to global capitalism to be “sadomarketism” (11) – a malapropism that suggests the system possesses a sadistic quality that derives benefits and gratification from the suffering of others. As evidenced by earlier parts of the poem, such callousness is a feature of capitalist institutions in that their success is largely predicated on practices of worker exploitation – and while the majority continues to bear the negative financial and mental burdens of such systems, the economic elites in the minority prosper greatly from the dominant, unfettered capitalist model. As such, the authors’ use of this malapropism to conclude the poem elicits an overt sense of finality that emphasizes the adverse implications of the capitalist

    Through partaking in interaction rituals, individuals become members of something greater than themselves. This feeling of being apart of something greater than oneself provides a moral community for the individuals, which then guides individuals in their beliefs and behaviors. It is similar to a never-ending circle; as individuals see the emotionally charged environment that this religion provides, they want to be a part of it, so they partake in unusual rituals, which furthers their engagement and emotional connectedness to their community. It almost reminds me a bit of an addiction. This community turns objects, such as poison and snakes as sacred, which in turn creates a sacred and profane world.

They are insane rituals that people in America wouldn’t seem to think about doing. They sound so different, and unusual. As one reads the fieldwork, it raises a lot of questions and concerns. To anyone from another country it would seem these rituals are excessive because of the way they are performed, and the things they use to perform them.

  • Karl Marx And Emile Durkheim's Theory Of Capitalism

    846 Words  | 4 Pages

    Capitalism is understood to be the “economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.” In modern society, capitalism has become the dominant economic system and has become so integrated that it has resulted in a change in the relationships individuals have with other members of society and the materials within society. As a society, we have become alienated from other members of society and the materials that have become necessary to regulate ourselves within it, often materials that we ourselves, play a role in producing. Capitalism has resulted in a re-organization of societies, a more specialized and highly segmented division of labour one which maintains the status quo in society by alienating the individual. Karl Marx and Emile Durkheim theorize on how power is embodied within society and how it affects the individuals of society.
