An interesting perspective on the world map. Interesting things to make note of: 1) The US, Brazil, Yemen, Ireland don't move. 2) North and South Korea are still next to one another.
Questions to Ponder: Why do some countries move and others don't? What does this tell you about the population sizes of the "West" vs. the "Rest"?

I think it is a pretty good idea, that not all the poor countries are squashed together. That somehow some of the rich countries that have big population can live beside the poor. They can help each other. The west needs labor, the rest needs money.

Written by Harold Miner, the Body Ritual of the Nacirema was written in part to parallel an early 20th century cultural anthropology report on a culture this can be used to discuss culture and different perspectives of culture groups. This could be very fun, especially waiting to see when the "aha" moment comes and they understand just who the Nacirema are (the SPOILER will be embedded in the comment section). It is lengthy and written as academic paper, so for K-12 use, I'd recommend using snippets and having them work in groups to analyze the seemingly bizarre cultural rituals of the Nacirema.

**SPOILER ALERT** The NACERIMA are is modern American society (American spelled backwards). This little bit of information drastically changes the reading.

The "Nacirema" are "American" spelled backwards (or interpreted backwards).
