Why the African ancient culture is less interesting than the other cultures?
Q. People have an interest or love the Europeans, Middle East, Southern Americans, North Americans, and Far East ancient cultures. You see them on TV, books, and other media. But people just don't have an interest in the African culture. This makes me so upset. Remember the Lion King? People love the movie. It have many of ancient African influences but people love the story and the characters, not the culture. Why?

A. There is no single "African culture". There are many African cultures, the number of which are greater than the number of countries in the continent. There are 53 countries in Africa. There were Kenyan influences in "The Lion King", and there were some Swahili words or phrases used, like "Acuna Mutada". People did seem to like that phrase even though most didn't realize its origins. You're right that most people seem more interested in Europe or Asian cultures (this includes Arab cultures as there are Arab countries in Asia).

Why do different cultures eat the meat of some animals but not others?
Q. I am a meat eater myself, and do adhere to the cultural habits of meat eating within my own culture. I am just curious as to what has made the eating of certain meats taboo in some cultures but not in others. Is meat not just meat? And I even find that it is not just a rule against a certain type of meat i.e. birds, or vermin or mammals. Many cultures will eat the meat of one animal within a group and be aghast at the idea of eating another animal within the same natural group. Any ideas?

What cultures throughout history had the most equal treatment of women?
Q. And which cultures glorified women? I know that many Amazonian tribes prided women as great warriors. Many women even cut off their right breast to improve their shooting ability. I also believe (though I may be wrong) that early Japan had much respect for women. What other cultures am I missing?

A. No culture that I have ever heard of has given women equal rights with men before the present-day Western society. The Amazons are a myth, and anyway why would chopping off your breast improve your shooting ability? You don't shoot across your breast. That makes no sense at all. However, some cultures in the past gave more rights to women. Ancient Egyptian women had more rights than the women of ancient Greece for example. Medieval European women had more rights than women in the early modern period.

What inspires the traditional clothes in different cultures?
Q. In my Fashions class, we chose and are researching 4 cultures, and their traditional clothes. I've decided on Japanese, German, Mexican and Maori (an aboriginal tribe from New Zealand). Yet, as I attempt to research it, all I find is mostly the actual culture. Nothing explains why they wore what they did. Does someone have some insight they can share, or some directions to try? Thank you!

In some cases the climate and/Or environment dictates the clothing. for instance the traditional mexican hat is the sombrero which can be translated as shader. or that which provides shade. and the mexican sun is something if you have ever been there you know what i'M SAYING. so try from that angle.

But trying to answer your question...I really don't think there is any type of counter-culture that is similar to straight edge. And that is concerning anything with music as the cohesive force in bringing like-minded people together. The closest you will get is probably church youth groups or Alcoholics Anonymous, but that has nothing to do with music of course.
