There are many cultures that fascinate me and I always loved learning about them. It fascinates me how some of them do not have the technology that we have today and how some of them live completely different lives. For instance some people in Africa still live the tribe lifestyle, which means that they do not have technology and basically live off the land. I learned a lot about these people in my Anthropology class I took last quarter. I learned that they are mal nourished because they do not have a balanced diet and some of them have not learned to use animals to their fullest extents. This means that they have learned how to use animals for labor or even for meat. Another culture that fascinates me is the Chinese culture and how they live. It surprises me that they live in such small spaces and that there are so many people in one area. I just do not understand how they live like that. Also it amazes me how they are only allowed to have so many children and so many baby girls that they have to kill some of them off. I just cannot imagine being a mother and having to give up one of my babies because of the law, but it makes sense since there are already so many people there. Also their diet amazes me like for instance, how they eat cats and dogs. I find that very odd. I mean I guess it keeps them fed and gets rid of extra animals and unsanitary issues, but still I would never eat a cat or dog! I do not know, but every culture is different in its own way and I would love to be able to learn more about them.
