 INTRODUCTION

Neste trabalho pretendemos apresentar diferentes etnias e culturas e

formas de viver de cada ser humano, relembrando sempre que somos
todos iguais.
There are approximately 370 million Indigenous people in the world,
belonging to 5,000 different groups, in 90 countries
worldwide. Indigenous people live in every region of the world, but about
70% of them live in Asia.
There is a “International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples”,
celebrated on 9 August every year.
As quoted in the Article 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
“Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this
Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex,
language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin,
property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made
on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the
country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be
independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of
sovereignty.”. This article reminds us that everyone is different but she
should never discriminate someone or think that someone is less than us
based on any of the circumstances mentioned above.
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PEOPLE
People have different aspects and different races, however what really
distinguishes them is their CULTURES.
The culture of people can identify itself by different aspects, such as:
● Clothing
● Religion
● Traditions and costumes
● Language
● Habitation
● Alimentation
● Art

Clothing
Cheongsham, China
Cheongsham is the most popular traditional costume in China.

The cheongsam is a body-hugging one-piece Chinese dress for women. 

Changshan, China
In traditional Chinese dress, a changshan is the male equivalent of the women’s
cheongsam.
Kimono, Japan
The kimono is the traditional dress of Japan, and it is worn nowadays on formal
occasions. It is sometimes accused of being an impractical form of dress, but it has
the advantage of giving the wearer a graceful and elegant deportment.

Sari, India
Sari is another one of the traditional clothing for Indian women. It is a 6-meter cloth
that is wrapped to form a skirt and draped over the shoulder. Usually, it is
accompanied by a stitched blouse called choli.
Dhoti Kurta, India

Dhoti Kurta is a piece of cloth, usually 5 yards long, that is tied around the waist and
legs.

Poncho, Peru
Por conta de sua grande altitude, o Peru é um país ventoso. Para arrebatar o vento e o frio, a
população peruana passou a utilizar o poncho, uma roupa feita de lã de lhama ou alpaca. O
tecido é como um quadrado, que cai pelo ombro, e que conta uma abertura no centro. Costuma
ser bem colorido, com temas e figuras geométricas e geralmente acompanha a utilização do
chullo, uma espécie de gorro com um pompom no alto e duas partes que cobrem as orelhas

Flamenca, Spain

 flamenca Essa é a vestimenta das famosas dançarinas de Flamenco, fenômeno musical que

geralmente ocorre em festas na - ou sobre a - Andaluzia, a região sul da Espanha. Seu corte é
comprido, até os tornozelos, e conta com muitos (muitos!) babados nas mangas e na barra.
Frequentemente, é acompanhado por um xale e as mulheres sempre utilizam sapatos de salto
alto e cabelo em coque (iStock/iStock)

Throwing cinnamon to those still single at 25 – Denmark

In Denmark being unmarried on your 25th birthday gives people social license to pelt
you with cinnamon. It’s interesting because it motivates you to look for a partner
before you turn 25.
Carnaval – Brazil
Carnaval is Brazil’s most popular party and it’s a worldwide phenomenon.

Famadihana: dancing with the dead – Madagascar

Also called the turning of the bones, this festival honors the dead and celebrates
family ties. The living families dance with their dead ancestors to show them respect.
They even give out gifts for the dead.
Traditions matter
Some traditions may sound bizarre or strange, yet people hold them close to their
hearts and still practice the age-old rituals to this day. Because it’s part of their
culture and history, it shapes and defines them. In fact, this is what sets one
community of humans apart from the other. It is due to their deep-rooted beliefs that
these unique customs and rituals are still alive, and tie us to the unseen world of the
past. To witness these amazing rituals, make sure you plan your visits accordingly
and see at least one of them with your own eyes.
 Conclusion
Culture is what define us. We may have different aspects, different skin colours, etc,
but we are equal as human beings. What marks the real difference between
everyone is the culture they are in. Culture is the identity of people, ethnicity or even
a nation.
It is our job to respect every culture
