Horror Of Cannibalism: The Reasons People Eat Each Other

Meiwes admitted that he had chopped and eaten Bernd Brandes after meeting him through a advertisement on the internet. Through his unconscious mind he said that he felt much better and stable after consuming the victim. He also reveals that his English improved after consuming the victims. He was later diagnosed with Psychiatric disorders. It is a mental illness that greatly disturbs the thinking, moods and behavior and increase the patients risk of pain, death, disability or loss of freedom (Salters, 2018). Before this, Meiwes has agreed to be eaten after that Meiwes chopped off Brandes and they eaten it together, Meiwes desire to consume more of Brandes grew stronger. As a result I am able to conclude that Meiwes has a lonely and neglected childhood, since young he had fantasied about consuming human, he and his long term girlfriend used to have a strong desire in their sex life and after his mother passed away, his desire to consume human grew. He was under an unconscious mind and wasn’t thinking normally due to his psychiatric disorder.

In the past research, Goldman did a survey in 1999. He conclude that Meiwes admitted that he had chopped and eaten Bernd Brandes after meeting him through a advertisement on the internet.

In the past research, Goldman did a survey in 1999. He conclude that research on the discourses and act of cannibalism has become a more accepted, the Anthropology of Cannibalism, was a watershed moment for the discipline. In Goldman’s research he conclude cannibalism in three categories, survival cannibalism, exocannibalism and endocannibalism (Goldman, 2014).

In survival cannibalism a study by, Kolina J. Delgado (2009), humans consume humans in emergency situation. Human may consume each other in emergency situations. For example the famous plane crash at Andes mountains in 1970, which is a 70-day ordeal chronicled in the film Alive (1993). 23 survive among the 48 were forced to choose whether to die slowly, excruciating death or eat the frozen bodies of their dead friends. In order to survive they are force to consume the frozen dead bodies of their friends and family (Worall. 2016). They have to make life and death decisions in order to survive, to survive the research has proven that they has used several primary social psychology to stay alive. After they were found 70 days later they were glued to names saying that they had eaten their friends to stay alive. They overcome tasks and maintains group cohesion. They are faced with psychological consequences including cognitive dissonance. Although, the group’s ability to work productively as a team, effectively manage conflict, and to work toward common goals that resulted in their survival. (Delgado. 2009).

Next, exocannibalism, in a study by Chun Wang (2012). For example, Mianmin, a mountain-dwelling group in Papua New Guinea. The group was well-known for practicing exocannibalism, the result of raids on neighboring villages (Clark, 2008).

Lastly, endocannibalism refers to “the consumption of flesh from a member of one’s ‘insider’ group and seems usually associated with ideologies about the recycling and regeneration of lifeforce. (Goldman, 2014). For example, the chief of the West African Junkun tribe eats pieces of the hearts of the predecessors. By doing so, he maintains his place outside of the normalized society over which he rules.

When people are forced to choose between surviving and death, in order to survive people are willing to go to the extreme including survival cannibalism. In rural tribes and villages they are exposed to it for centuries and they are not as well develop as other well develop country, in order for them to stayed alive and continue their tribe legacy with endo and exdo cannibalism. has become a more accepted, the Anthropology of Cannibalism, was a watershed moment for the discipline.
