Totemism 

The recognition of a special relationship between a human group or an individual and a class or species of animals, plants, or inanimate objects. The ritual relationship is usually seen as mandated by superhuman forces for the mutual benefit of the human and the totemic objects.
Totemism is a system of belief in which man is believed to have kinship with a totem or a mystical relationship is said to exist between a group or an individual and a totem. A totem is an object, such as an animal or plant that serves as the emblem or symbol of a kinship group or a person. The term totemism has been used to characterize a cluster of traits in the religion and in the social organization of many primitive peoples. Totemism is manifested in various forms and types in different contexts, especially among populations with a mixed economy (farming and hunting) and among hunting communities (especially in Australia); it is also found among tribes who breed cattle. Totemism can in no way be viewed as a general stage in man's cultural development; but totemism has certainly had an effect on the psychological behaviour of ethnic groups, on the manner of their socialization, and on the formation of the human personality.

tottenville highschool

tottenville high school: located in huguenot even though it’s name is tottenville, so u can already guess how retarded this school is. the rest of staten island thinks the entire school is white, but we actually have future dropouts of all races and ethnicities. when there isn’t hoes infesting the place, u get bet that some disease is. that’s most likely why we needed a whole week of gym dedicated to HIV. i think the only reason all them boys wanna transfer here is cuz not less that two blocks away it is ensured u can receive a blowjob behind dunkin’ donuts from one of us thots. not only is the school infested by HIV and thots, but also white boys who think they’re black. it’s believed that only a total of two white students don’t say the n-word. surely u think it can’t get any worse right? wrong. cuz not only do u barely get service but u can always count on deans to say the infamous “WalK aNd TalK.” legend has it that to this day the ghosts of stressed students cry it out as they walk the lonely halls at night. but, somehow, we are in fact a school of national excellence where teachers are somewhat crackheads themselves.
