New Cultures Exposed

After watching the videos about these other cultures in different countries, I have learned a lot. Just from sitting at my desk watching them for just about a sum of 6 minutes, I have opened my eyes to new cultures. I saw how their traditions both are done in order to show stages in each individuals lives. The first one about the women and the rings that they have to wear around their neck was very interesting. The way that they enclose their necks like that and leave it on for years on end was amazing to me. When the lady was washing her neck solved one question I had from the beginning of the segment, how do they wash in there? and it also answered my other question of what would it look like when it has been taken of? The other video about the men being cut and going through "initiation" into man-hood, i thought, was a bit much. Having a man be put through so much pain both physically and emotionally is unnecessary. But that is a culture that we have in this world and just like we have cultures that they do not like, they have cultures we do not like. The things I learned from this video were disturbing, how they would willing be put through such a treacherous process.
