Answer:

So that they will not be accused of any form of sorcery in relation to the sickness of Mr. Welsch.

Explanation:

In the book "Cultural Anthropology" Robert L. Welsch and Luis A. Vivanco discusses the various and different approaches to sickness and diseases, depending on the environment and culture of the people concerned. For example, when anthropologist Robert Welsch contracted malaria while doing some field work among the Ningerum people of Papua New Guinea, the villagers want to take him to the health center that was miles away. Even though he tried the American way of dealing with the sickness, by taking fluids and medicines, seclusion and lots of rest, the villagers, as is their custom, did not let him be alone. Instead, they have a completely different perception of their sicknesses. They believed that illnesses are caused by sorcery, and so they tried to comfort Welsch and stay with him for long hours. They were scared of being accused of doing some sorcery on him so rather than being wrongly accused, they would rather send him to the health center where they won't come to any sort of harm.

Immediacy-The state, condition, or quality of being immediate.Whenever it is time to prepare to talk  in class the first thing I think about is how you can connect with the audience. I do this first because I feel that any audience member should feel a connection between them and the speaker whether or not they agree or disagree with the speaker. And the way I display this connection with the audience is through the types of immediacy such as verbal immediacy, nonverbal immediacy, technological influences on immediacy, and cultural influences on immediacy.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about the article “Why Literature Matters”.

Answer:

In her article, Dana Gioia reports on the points of society that are reached by the decrease in reading among young people in the society we know. To reinforce her argument, she shows evidence of how the lack of habit of reading, any type of book, has impacted Americans not only on a personal level, but on an economic and civic level as well, since reading provides a strong knowledge in these areas. According to her, when these things are affected in an individual who is not in the habit of reading, the whole society suffers and the whole nation becomes weakened.
