SOME DIFFERENT LIST OF CULTURES AROUND THE WORLD


The list of cultures around the world is quite vast. Still, it is always fun and informative to know how cultures differ and how they do things around their place. Just as the title suggest we are going to discuss different cultures around the world and of what it is yesterday that eventually molded it today.

The African Culture
Just a bit of know-how; Africa is really a vast continent which has as 53 countries. Though these are countries are essentially similar especially on the people’s traits there are still subtle differences which you can find in each culture in Africa.

There are quite many tribes that exist in Africa. The “Afar” tribes are found in Djibouti, Somalia and Ethiopia. The “Anlo-Ewe” tribes are once the inhabitants of Notsie which then roamed in 1474 in the southeastern parts such as Ghana. The “Amhara” tribes are in Ethiopia. The “Ashanti” tribes are located in the central part of Ghana. The tribes along the Atlantic coast are the “Bakongo.” Some of the other tribes which can be found in Africa are Bambara, Bemba, Berber, Bobo, Chewa, Dogon, Fang, Fulani, Fon, Kikuyu, Ibos, Maasai, Pygmies, Mandinka, Senufo, Samburu, Tuareg, Zulu and Yoruba.  As you can see the African culture also contains a list of cultures contained around it. This vast cultures maybe because Africa is really a vast and a large country and, to add, this continent has suffered many invasions through the years.

The American Culture
Another country to our list of cultures to be discussed. America, though it may not look like it, is not only composed of pure Americans but also immigrants from many other countries. People from countries like Germany, Poland, Ireland and Africa has settled here. Everybody knows that America has gone through racial discriminations in the past due to this but of course, today America is not anymore like that.

The Chinese culture
A “bringer of luck” or Fengshui as I would like to call it started all in the Chinese culture. FengShui revolves around the Chinese People even today. Whenever they start a business, open a restaurants or architectural design of a building, they almost always based it on FengShui to bring good luck the the people indulging on those businesses and establishments.

Of course, we cannot tackle all of them but for sure you now know a thing or two about some of the list of cultures around the world.
