Witchcraft among the Azande traditionally served as an effective means of social

Witchcraft among the Azande traditionally served as an effective means of social control. What are the
major institutions and beliefs in your own culture that function similarly? PLEASE provide concrete examples to prove that. Institutions can be: family, religious organization, employment place, etc… Think about the ways in which members of your culture/society are compelled to behave in socially acceptable ways. How do these differ from one another? There is a “logic” to the Azande belief in witchcraft and the causality of misfortune. Do you employ logic that is similar or different when explaining negative events? Are there multiple different “systems of logic” that may be invoked, depending on the circumstances? You MUST integrate at least 5 terminologies from the lecture to apply to your response. You are also asked to reference anthropological ideas or names of anthropologists along with their ideas that we have learned about.
PLEASE draw on concrete examples from recorded lectures, readings, and films
