(Outside Reading #3) culture

I read an article about african culture. I learned that much of Africa's culture activity centers on family and the ethnic group. 3 main aspects of their culture have to do with art, music, and oral literature. African governments foster national dance and music groups, museums, artists, and writers. The people that populate africa speak many different languages, practice hundreds of distinct religions, live in different types of houses/ shelters, and have many different economic activities. I think I would enjoy traveling to Africa one day to learn more about their culture. I feel like africans really focus on dance and art which would be cool to learn about. I know also that life is harder for them there and that there is much more poverty which also would also be interesting to learn about and experience if I traveled there.
