Culture observed: Blood letting initiation rites

I use these kinds of video to teach about cultures. It is an interesting approach to the discussion of what cultural anthropologist Renato Rosaldo would say as "the truth in each culture".

Watch this and think of the idea of subjectivity and critical sensibility as we move from the world of analysis based on the classical norms to a world of reflexivity.
