One day while walking through the HCC quad, you come upon a time machine. You step foot inside, and find that you are immediately transported to the year 1515. You step outside of the time machine, and your keen sense of geography and history makes it clear that you are in the valley of Mexico, in the land of the Aztecs. As you walk around, you realize that locals are on their way to observe a ritual mass human sacrifice, a practice common in this culture. The people are content, and there is a strong sense of unity among them. How do you react? Why did you react the way you did? How would you explain the consenting behavior of the locals? In your response, use at least five sociological terms/concepts from the readings on culture.
