Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 8 page discussion of the societal
considerations of cannibalism. Approaches cannibalism first from the
ritualistic perspective of ancient cultures which in many case see the
act as preserving the connection between living and dead and the passing
of the attributes of the dead to the living. The author then approaches
the topic of cannibalism from the perspective of those who must resort
to cannibalism in order to survive catastrophic events. Provides
examples of the 1992 air crash in the Andes and the Donner Party in the
winter of 1846-1847 in which the survivors ate the flesh of those that
died in order to live themselves. Concludes with an example of the
psychological deviancy of cannibalism in such cases as that of serial
killer Jeffrey Dahmer who was convicted of killing and eating portions
of the bodies of seventeen of his victims. Bibliography lists 7
sources.
