I was on snapchat and on snapchat there is a place where it gives you news updates and blog posts that these news people make such as “Daily Mail”. So I happened to be reading the articles as I usually do and I have been so caught up with he corona virus outbreak because to me it seems so interesting so everything that is associated with it I tend to read. As I was reading this article it shows a bunch of animals that In China , Wuhan specifically it is very common for them to eat these animals. As me being American cultured I see all these animals such as beavers, rats, snakes, etc and I get disgusted and my first thought was how do people even such things as that . After I processed that in my head I took a step back and realized how much I am judging this society by the society I live in which is me being ethnocentric . I had no idea that some of these animals that where in this blog where a delight but my first instinct was to judge and assume that it has to be the grossest thing ever. Then I thought other countries must look at us this way as well such as with us eating cows, pigs, chicken on the regular and I realized why do I have to judge them on there eating when we eat crazy animals over here but I never really saw it like that until after our lecture in class.
