As a human being, convincing a cannibal chieftain that I am not going to taste good for their dinner, is actually a complicated situation to consider. Cannibalism is surprisingly not against the United States law. It is misperceived that cannibalism is illegal. In reality, the reason why cannibalism is seen as revolting is because of the thought of a person eating the flesh of another person. Cannibalism is seen by people just like haggis and liver is seen as revolting to most people. When it comes to ethics, there are different components that would claim the cannibal eating me is morally unacceptable. This can be compared to killing another human being for no reason. Both of these cases contain the same common thought that killing people no matter what the circumstance is morally incorrect. The majority of society believes that cannibalism and homicide are both incorrect. This thought comes from three views. The three views that can be used to describe if an action is morally correct are, the natural law theory, relativism, and moral objectivism. These three views are looked at individually and not used together. The natural law of theory deals with reasoning deduced from the nature of humanity throughout society. Relativism deals with reasoning that is deduced within a certain culture. Moral objectivism deals with reasoning deduced from universal morality. Cannibalism is not always seen as incorrect in all societies. Some societies see cannibalism as a valid activity.

The article "Of the Cannibals" from Michel Eyquem de Montaigne speaks about two major problems. The first one is the problem of men telling stories subjectively instead of objectively.

The essay also deals with the word "barbarism" and what can be meant by that.

The author, Basil Johnston, is trying to portray the connection between a mythical story from the Aboriginals and the way we are destroying the environment today, from his article Modern Cannibals of the Wilds, written in 1991. Johnston begins his article by telling a story about a habitat filled with many different species such as: fish, birds, insects and other wildlife. Then, Johnston continues to introduce a cannibalistic mythical creature called weendigoes, who feed on human flesh to try to satisfy his never-ending hunger. After Johnston introduces the mythical weendigoes, he transitions into introducing the modern weendigoes who care reincarnated as humans, depicted as industries, corporations and multinationals who dwells on wealth

Cannibalism was very familiar in 1729. More than a few in the world practiced it, even to their own children. Times now cannibalism isn't even in consideration. We call that murder. From then to now we have several different ways of a living style. People were not only desperate but very sickly back then. Love didn't matter then. Loving your children wasn't a decision. Cannibalism was a way to fight poverty in that time. Jonathan’s thoughts were to market the babies to stay economically independent. The “A modest proposal” is stated to be a coldhearted and gloomy proposal. The statement "I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children" was stated by Jonathan, insinuating that the poverty-stricken families of Ireland are slaves to their landlords. With the way Jonathan mentioned his cannibalism thesis, different people can and will

Cannibalism, before the witch craze, was associated with heresy (Roper, 2004, p. 72). As this era's events unfolded, so too did this era's fantasies. Cannibalism, like witchcraft, was used as a horrible venue for abstract cultural fears. Roper, writing on the Thirty Years War, states that "...rumours of cannibalism...expressed the terrifying disorientation and collapse of German society," (2004, p. 72).

The relationship between the kuru and cannibalism; within the Fore populations at it’s roots is the by product of a specific social pecking order within their population. The Fore population upon being exposed to a free market economy in which they could grow crops for money rather than substance began to grow coffee and other cash crops. This eventually led to an unequal distribution of wealth amongst members of their community, which created economic classes and social divides. During the transition to a community that produced for money, overall population increased, which eventually severely negatively impacted the population of local game.

There are also functional types of cannibalism, based on why someone is eaten: survival cannibalism, religious or ritual cannibalism, and dietary or gastronomic cannibalism.
