Compare/Contrast Friday questions

One cultural norm or belief that Bourdain covers in the Haiti video is the Voodoo religion of the Haitian people. How this compares to my culture of Alaska is the Native Alaskan Tribe called the Tlingit. The Tlingit people follow a religion with similarities of the Voodoo religion. They both believe spirits are in everything and everywhere and they also both have a great respect for the dead. A cultural belief or norm that if different between Haiti and Alaska is their food. Bourdain shares with us the food that was available to him while he was in Haiti. Such as, rice and beans, greens, chicken, and cabbage. In Alaska, the primary foods are different types of seafood as well as game such as, Elk and Moose. From looking at the pictures in “where children sleep”, you can see a wide variety of sleeping arrangements. In these sleeping arrangements you can imply what kind of environment the child may be living in. Some may appear poor, dirty, or just more of a simple life. Others may appear uptight, spoiled, or even dangerous. The state of each child’s room could imply that the belief of that culture was either the child was not very important, or the child was extremely important.
