Comparison Between African and American Cultures


     Our culture has advanced so far and fast in the last decade. The thing
that has advanced our culture most is the technology we have. Our technology
has produced us with many new products and entertainment that we really enjoy
but don't actually necessarily need. The next few paragraphs will talk about
comparison of our culture and Africa's culture.
     The culture in Kenya is only advancing in certain parts, mainly the
bigger cities. There are also many very remote towns and villages that still
have some of the native people left in them. Since there are so many different
tribes they have lots of native languages. In America Spanish is one of the
only other languages spoken. Some of the different tribes in Africa are the
Sanburose, Omallose, and Turcanas. The people in these places use many of the
old ways and follow most of the traditions their ancestors did because they
haven't been introduced with very much of the modern technology we have.
     Instead of having an occupation like most of the people here in the
United States they grow up learning how to become worriers, graze their animals,
hunt for food, etc. The closest thing our society comes to hunting is using
guns, and other powerful weapons mostly just to hunt for fun.
     Even though most of the native towns and villages are not very advanced
there are still many big cities that are very much like ours. One of the things
that really shocked me the most was how much the average worker made their. It
was about 200 dollars. I don't think this applied to the city workers. 200
dollars is nothing to the average worker here in America.
