rituals that I would like to observe from that individual’s view who have never been to Nacirema society before this. The “use of expensive magical charms and potions” and “spending quality time in shrine” would make me think of this society as a magic ridden people who are shallow and superficial with their appearance.

The Salem witch trial hysteria of 1692 may have been instigated by religious, social, geographic and even biological factors. During these trials, 134 people were condemned as witches and 19 were hanged. These statistics also include 5 more deaths that occurred prior to their execution date.

The use of the spectral evidence themselves was the central problem in the trials. Apparitions of demons were invisible to other people in the same room and only the afflicted girls could see the shapes, which was one of the problem with spectral evidence. The possibility that Satan could appear in the shape of an innocent person was another concern. Confessions were vigorously sought to overcome these obstacles.

While the film, The Crucible by Arthur Miller, depicts the overall history of the Salem Witch Trials, it does have historical inaccuracies within the characters and their relationships that change the way we perceive history. Witchcraft has been present since the Paleolithic period but it began to show up in colonial
