The
new magical things which are being used in Nepali people's house.
Long time back Nepal’s
people had to live a difficult life. They had to live in houses made
of rocks and mud and their roofs were made of hay or tin they used too have a
lot of problem during monsoon when its raining heavily or while
strong winds as some times their roofs would get carried away or would
leak .They used to burn cow dung to make food , grow their own
vegetables . They dint have proper toilets and neither did they have
electricity . But now there is such a drastic change as Nepali people are
getting influenced by western cultural .As they have realized life is so
much easier and comfortable to live with these things in our house.Not all
the parts of Nepal but mostly people who live in Kathmandu as it’s the capital
of Nepal have or use these things in our daily basis.These things in our
house are so useful. They have made life so much better than before but
it has made us lazy too. Everyone now is so dependent in these things.
This
thing has the power to entertain
Firstly every house has a magical
box which shows colourful moving pictures and makes
different kinds of sounds .This magical box is so powerful it can attract
people to sit in front of it an entire day and it can also change
our emotions like it can make us laugh ,cry ,sad ,angry sing and dance
.This magical box consist of everything drama ,romance, music , horror .
This magical box teaches us both good and bad values and we should always
try to only learn the good ones . But it does not work every
time because of the load shedding problem in Nepal .
This thing has the power to freeze
There is a big magical rectangle
shaped thing makes us feel like we reach the north pole It is used to
store things and prevent it form getting spoilt . The rectangle
thing is divided in two parts . The upper part basically
freezes anything that goes inside it .No insects ever enter this thing if they
do the magic freezes it .
This
thing is so power to remove dirt or stains
This magical thing has magical hand
which removes stain . When we put something inside and add some
magical powder .this magical thing it starts spinning round and round.. After
the spinning thing stops whatever is inside comes out clean and dry .All
mothers love this thing as now they don't have to spoil their hands or nails
rubbing things .
This thing has the power to inflame goods and makes water disappear
No person can live without this thing
.It gives a powerful red flame and a magical pot is kept on top of
it . Different kinds magical potion, ingredients are added to the magical
pot and the results fulfills every human beings stomach. Anything that goes
inside the magical pot eithers gets burnt ,boiled , roasted.This magical thing
should be handled with care if not might explode .
This thing has the power to wash away .
But the most important thing which is
there in all the houses is the place where we sit and give out our waste
products .Which has only one button to press .And when we press it starts
raining . It washes away all the waste products. This thing has to
cleaned very properly otherwise it will give an awful smell .

What
is cultural relativism ?
- I think its a belief that all
cultural views are equally valid .A society might think some thing is right and
other society might think it’s wrong but still no society can pass
judgement to other society .





Kelly,
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay in getting back to you about your blog. I liked your take on the Nacirema, you took a much more materialist perspective than many of your classmates who focused more on rituals. This was good. Like always, the photos add to you posts.
Keep up the good work.
