Cannibalism

October 9, 2009 sayamwalia

    On Tuesday October 6th 2009 some of my class mates were doing presentations, one of the groups had four girls in it and they were talking about how Cannibalism still exits and how some types of cultures still practise it. I found that topic interesting so in this blog ill be talking about Cannibalism.

    I wasn’t aware of the fact that it still exists I thought it was something that people use to do back in the old days maybe like in the 1555, but after paying attention to their presentation I acknowledged it still happens in some countries. I find that extremely disturbing, I just don’t understand how  or why people  would eat human flesh. When I spoke to my friend about this he told me how in some parts of asia they actually sell human flesh, but it’s very expensive and only rich people can afford it.

    I have seen Cannibals only in movies such as; Hostel 2, The Silence Of The Lambs and Hannibal Rising. I don’t enjoy watching these movies but I don’t recall the reason why I watched them because these types of movie make me sick, I literally feel like barfing after watching a human being cut up another human and eat it.

    It is disturbing to most of us, I think – and there are even a lot of animals that won’t eat the flesh of their own species. I think the group did a good job of helping us understand why it is practiced, but most of us still feel revulsion! It just goes to show that our rational minds and our emotions don’t always follow each other…
