History

Answer:

Body Ritual Among the Nacirema tells the story of a strange lifestyle and the rituals of this particular lifestyle. The first thing Miner writes about is every household having a “shrine room” where rituals that are secret from everyone else are practiced and how every shrine room has a box with many magical potions. The most important potions are described to be obtained from the medicine man but they don’t directly give them the medicine. The people get a piece of paper with the medicine written on it in a secret language and they take this to someone else to get the potions. Does any of this sound a bit familiar? It should, because Miner is talking about the American culture. Nacirema is American spelled backwards. The “shrine room” Miner describes is the bathroom and the box with magical potions is the medicine cabinet. This discription of that are common to the American culture are depicted throughout the article to add effect.

Horace Miner uses a unique approach to help us (Americans) realize different things about our culture. This story is trying to get us to look at our own culture from the outside sine we are always thinking we are normal but other cultures are very strange. When in reality, we are just as strange as other cultures are to us. I feel that Miner wants us to realize that we should learn to respect other culture’s beliefs, lifestyles, and daily rituals even when they seem odd to us. Body Ritual Among the Nacirema can also be related to the article from the Inquiry reader Shakespeare in the Bush in the sense that people are the same everywhere because of our perceptions but most of all because of our inability to see our own short comings.

(02.03 LC)<br> How does the executive branch provide a check on the power of the legislative branch?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Explanation:

Checks and Balances is a system most commonly found in a constitutional style of government , usually with three levels of power allocation … the executive branch , the legislative branch , and the judicial branch .

The legislative branch can `` check ‘’ the executive branch by rejecting the President's veto of a legislative action …this is known as an override . A two third vote in each legislative chamber ( House of Representatives and Senate ) is required to override a Presidential veto .

The Senate can reject a treaty that the Executive has signed ; a two thirds vote in the Senate is required to formally enact a treaty .

The Senate must approve Executive appointments to cabinet , and the Federal Judiciary .

The ultimate check for the legislative branch is the power to impeach and remove the president . The House of Representatives acts as prosecutor , and The Senate acts as jury . The House of Representatives drafted articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon in 1974 , but Nixon resigned the office of the presidency before he was formally impeached .

The override of a presidential veto has rarely taken place . Only ten percent of presidential vetoes have been rejected by the legislative branch in American history .
