animism

Write about animism. What is it? Do you feel that it is a useful description of many tribal religions? How would you see things differently as an animist? What might this lead to a different idea of morality, respect, compassion, or empathy? How might it change your behavior? What is personhood under animism? Is the outlook compelling? How is a shaman an animist, and how is this significant? Use definitions and examples from the readings to defend your argument
