Jordanian Culture

Despite the fact that all cultures have their own explanation for doing the things that they do, I believe the Jordanian culture is by far the most superior. This culture is known for its unique ways of life, and seems to be the right way of life when it comes to the debate of whether or not it is more preeminent than the Baka and Yanomamo cultures. When having to choose which one of these three cultures views clothing, religion and child rearing and ways of life the proper way, I would have to say that the Jordanian culture is with no doubt the most acceptable way that is more likely to be adopted into the society that we live in today. In the Yanomamo and Baka cultures clothing play an insignificant role. In these two cultures clothing is not a major concern because they barely even wear clothing. In contrast to the Jordanian culture, clothing is a part of what makes up the culture of Jordan. A Jordanian woman is usually first judged by the way she displays her image, the more covered she is the better her reputation in society is and the more she is looked up to by her peers. I believe that the Baka and the Yanomamos should start to think about the fact that certain parts of your body should not be visible at all times for everyone to see. They should start to think about covering themselves in a more acceptable way because no one likes their spouse to be seen by others. Which is why Jordanians especially woman are covered with vials and clothing.

Along with the fact that the Jordanian clothing is more appropriate and acceptable, their religion is also one of the most known and stable religions in our society. Jordan is a monotheistic culture that is mostly populated with people that follow the norms and belief of Islam. Although I am not Muslim I have seen how faithful these people are to their religion and I greatly respect the fact that in their culture religion comes first. Unlike the Baka and Yanomamo where magic, witchcraft and Animism play a major role the Jordanian culture believe in one God. The Yanomamo people believe that after a person is dead they should be burned and eaten which in my view is not the way a person gives respect to its dead. Along with this the Yanomamo believe that if you don’t morn over a loved one the spirit of that person one will hunt you, which is tremendously different in the Jordan culture where it is believed that a special ceremony where the loved one is buried into the ground takes place and no one is supposed to cry over the dead because it interrupts their peace and hurts them. Although in my religion it is not forbidden to morn over the dead I can see why the Jordanian cultures don’t morn over their dead but I cannot imagine the scene of burning a loved one and eating their ashes. I believe that it is erroneous and inhuman to burn a dead body and eat it just to feel the presence of them in your life. Along with all this drugs are a major part of the Yanomamo culture that shows how wrong their culture really is.

In conclusion the Jordanian culture is the most superior between the three cultures, not because it is where I am from but simply because it has good explanations to the way they do the things that they do. I cannot see any explanation in the belief that drugs and violence are a key ingredient in a person’s culture no matter what explanation the Yanamamo and Baka cultures have to back up this corrupt way of life. The Jordanian culture will always be the culture between these three that is favored the most in our society not just because their ways of life are similar to that of the society but also because unlike the Yanomamo and Baka where barbarism and cruelty is a major concern the Jordanian culture is full of rules and regulations that a per son must follow in order to remain civilized.
