I am joining Mr.
Turnbull in Africa to study and learn more about the BaMbuti Pygmies of Africa;
while Mr. Turnbull is going to be observing the Pygmies as a whole, I will be
focusing on the religion of this culture. I chose this because religion is
significant in the lives of every person. It is an important part of any
culture, whether people are conscious of this or not.
Religion can
range from any type of superstitions, practices, or beliefs that a culture has.
Each culture has a different set of beliefs and a different religion; while
many cultures have similar religions, they vary from place to place. The BaMbuti
Pygmies are a fascinating culture with a unique way of expressing their
religion. While they live very closely with the Negroes in Africa, they are vastly
different and are not afraid to show it. This is why I chose to study this
anthropological theory while Mr. Turnbull and I will be living among the
Pygmies.
