You was introduced to the anthropological study of religion. One of the first anthropologists to examine religion in Africa was Edward Evans-Pritchard in the early 1900's. You will explore what he learned about the Azande by watching the first 23 minutes of "Strange Beliefs: Sir Edward Evans-Pritchard".
Instructions:
When you are done watching the video answer the following questions by referring to specific information from the video, NOT outside sources:
• How do the Azande people featured in the film explain unfortunate events and what do they do about it?
• According to your textbook, what is religion and how would Azande religious beliefs be classified?
• Do you think Azande beliefs are any more or less rational than other religious beliefs like Judaism, Christianity, Islam, or Buddhism?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
