Question 3
I enjoyed reading about the long list of taboos in the article. Mainly because it put some perspective on the culture. I was a little confused by some of the norms like not touching a menstruating women, even to touch her hand. I realized that I had a very ethnocentric point of view and should try and see the tradition behind it. I enjoyed learning about the different cultures though and think it's very interesting that a child's uncle is in charge of its well-being since that would be very unusual in America.
