In the previous section, we described a young man named Ngolo, coming from a country in East Africa. We would like you to describe in a sentence or two, what kind of traditions and customs you think people follow in the country where Ngolo comes from.
I think he probably does most of the traditions from whatever country he came from?
Ngolo is a young man who grew up in East Africa. He very much wants to come to America and embrace America's culture.
They have specific ways for dressing and food prep. They do not rely on technology and do things the old fashion way
not really sure about it. maybe he eats different foods that americans. maybe he is more respectful of people.
I picture a muslim dude from maybe Ethiopia. He's probably not all that different from me if we were to sit down and talk.The specifics may be different, but we're all people.
I am sure that they don't have access to simple things that we take for granted... running water, power, etc.
He probably east a lot of beans and vegetables. He's probably Christian or Muslim.
Extremely religously conservative and less women in public
Unsure, I'm not familiar with East African customs. I imagine they are different but likely not so different as to be unacceptable in society.
they follow traditional african traditions
They make their own clothes, hunt and kill for their food and eat alot of rice, meat and bread.
They are very centered around family being the most important thing in life. Also, traditions about meals and religion are very important for them.
I have no idea except that they are unlike US traditions apparently. Perhaps we are a little less friendly and conservative.
They are very close to their friends and family, and they live a simple life compared to the people in the US. They eat different types of food and make their own meals.
They most likely have different ways to treat their food, and depending on the region of East Africa, there may be more spiritualistic rituals or practices.
His traditions and custom may not be as refined, a little more rough around the edges. They might be more simple and older traditions that haven't evolved.
I really have no idea. I assume their foods are totally different, as well as their religion. I don't know what a typical family structure there would be, but I would guess that it's similar to ours.
For the most part, I think they practice similar traditions, belief and religion might be different, he might be a heavier believer in religion than most. Traditions would be family, but that's big for any culture.
Probably tribal cultures, traditional medicine, some superstitions, dances, rituals, lots of trade and bartering
They likely get food at local markets and by producing food on farms. Also, they probably listen to much different style of music than we do.
The customs are about each other. The traditions are unique to the country.
They celebrate didn't customs than Americans do. They eat different food than Americans do. They also live in different types of homes than Americans
They have their own religion and they make food from local sources. They probably think women are inferior to men.
The traditions and customs of people in East Africa aren't much different from the customs and traditions of other countries. I suspect they all want jobs, to have a family, aspire towards home ownership, and living a peaceful life. They respect their heritage and ancestors. They celebrate holidays together and some may ascribe to a certain religion.
I believe East Africa is to a large degree Muslim, so I imagine they would follow traditions similar to many other Muslim-dominated societies, i.e. more socially conservative than the average American.
They probably have a lot of family time. They probably like to dance to drum music to celebrate life. They value peace and human rights.
I think there is probably one or a few religions being practiced. I think the food is very different.
Cooking food differently, different religion, different bathing
I honestly have no idea. Perhaps they eat more homecooked meals, and are more resourceful than Americans.
I have no idea what traditions are in a random East Africa country. I'd imagine they celebrate holidays, but no American ones. They probably share a religion with some Americans. They probably have different cuisine. It's all guesses though
I cannot begin to describe traditions and customs from East Africa, it I know they would be much different from the traditions and customs I grew up in.
I think there are certain traditions such as specific Holidays and Celebrations that are regional to his homeland. There could also be some difference in our life event celebrations, such as meeting and marrying a woman, turning the age where you are considered an adult, and how the elderly are cared for and housed.
I'm not sure about traditions and customs, but I think they would be used to living their lives frugally and trying to avoid poverty.
They probably have fairly different traditions and customs.I'm not exactly sure what but I am sure they would be different.
they follow the traditions of their earlier generation family members
They would dress differently. Going out in public would be much diffeent. The food would be unusually falvored compared to in the US.
I would say they follow one of the three main monotheistic religions. I would also say their foods are similar to other African cultures and involve greens, spices, etc. I would say they are most monogamous.
Communities may be more close-knit in his home country. Practices such as arranged marriage may be followed.
The African culture probably instills much more local dietary structure. As well as a predominance of practitioners of the Muslim faith.
I have no clue. I couldn't even to pretend to know.
I think ritualized dancing would be an important tradition. Also, what spices are used in foods would be a tradition.
They eat different foods and work fewer hours.
He came to the U.S. hoping to find a better life here. In general, he feels that the U.S. is very different from his homeland. He does everything he can to live by the traditions and customs of Americans, even if this means that he has to abandon the traditions and customs that he was raised with in Africa.
When I think of East Africa the first thing that comes to mind would be the use of wet nurses or social breast feeding for a group.
Ngolo's customs were not discussed in the passage. I believe he may come from a country where there is more cohesion in culture and religion in his upbringing. He was surrounded by less diversity.
Sex without protection, disrespect of women
He likely prepares food with the spices of his homeland; he also prefers close friendships with those who speak the same language; he listens to the music of his native country and continues in a tradition of oral story-telling even though he now lives in America.
People in this country would like to band together and practice outdated social traditions
They most likely have specific religion and other holiday traditions they practice on a regular basis. They also have their own language and ways they interact with others on a daily basis
I think they are very close together and do not like the luxory of things either.
My guess is they value people over material items, and they are not as loud and obnoxious as some people in the US are. I would also guess he follows customs that were handed down from his parents
I believe Ngolo had customs in his country such as not being able to eat a certain food due to religion. Also, a custom might be that he wear a certain type of hat on his head at certain times. He also might have to pray at a certain time of day or in a certain way.
They likely are not christian and probably celebrate some sort of tribal rite.
I really don't know much about east African traditions.
I believe he comes from a region that holds more biases against people that are different
I think that it was recently a culture retreated from tribal lifestyle and they have a long way to go to become a developed nation.
I assume that they have strict customs when it comes to marriage and sex (no premarital intercourse or something along those lines) They also likely place a much bigger emphasis on family and all traditions that relate to it.
I would think that he probably has some type of religion or spirituality, possibly based off Christianity. I would think he is also very family oriented
I imagine they are not so different. He probably enjoy very similar things.
I think people from Ngolo's country probably follow a more traditional background and culture.
I honestly don't know much about east african practices, it may not be as secular as most american practices.
They enjoy national holidays; typically raised in family units.
They follow islamic religion and wear bright colored clothing.
different festivals, different religions, different culture, different than ours.
They follow customs which may seem quite barbaric such a female vaginal mutilation. They might feed on their own dead. They might eat the foreskin of men. They might kill albinos and slaughter them like animals for witchcraft.
I have no clue what they do in East Africa
I have no idea honestly. Maybe they are more religious and family oriented. Maybe they wear different clothes.
I think traditions and customs in East Africa are pretty much similar to the customs in America. Perhaps there is a bigger emphasis on family values but I do not know.
i would think they have strong family ties along generational lines. i imagine they celebrate important days much as we do although it always seems as if in some 3rd world countries they seem to cele3brate togetherness more.
They probably are very patriarchal. With the women doing all the cooking, and the men doing all the fighting.
I think that they celebrate different holidays and potentially are pagans or muslims. They also probably eat different food. I am not sure of any exact details of the way they do things in "East Africa".
Generally I would consider East African traditions to be heavily influenced by the Muslim population in those countries. People can range from somewhat modern cities to more triablistic customs.
I think Ngoako is deeply spiritual and makes wonderful homemade food.
They probably have a religion that Americans would not know much about. Men are probably dominate.
I am sure diet and food preparation is different I am not sure in what way. And social interactions and sociability are different I don't know how to guess how.
Oppose to premarital sex and sexual discrimination.
I really have no idea. Do they have multiple gods and stuff like that? I don't know.
They may celebrate kwanza and wear clothing that reflects their tribal heritage
I think people in the country where Ngolo comes from celebrate holidays that we don't have here in the US, they might also have traditional food and clothes, their way of socializing is probably different too.
I have no idea of any specific customs, but I would imagine that holidays and religious practices are very different.
I do not know. Perhaps they have a shared artistic heritage that is integrated into their faith. Perhaps they have certain social mores that people from the US don't have, or vice versa.
their customs and traditions are unique to their culture,religious rituals is most likely the biggest difference between his culture and america.in his country there is most likely just one religion that all people practice.whereas in america,there are many.
Farming, different ways to raise children, different friendship culture and holidays
Probably a lot of symbolic rituals, that included chanting and dancing.
They probably have diffrent kind of food prep. They do not now as much about sanitary conditions
He probably celebrates traditional holidays and cooks food that he grew up eating
They probably don't have much money there, so they probably are not a big capitalistic society where owning things is important. They probably have closer family ties and also feel a stronger connection to nature and the environment than Americans typically do.
The traditions are more family oriented and much more culturally specific.
The probably lived a very simple life, not alot to eat, no real technology. Very simple religeous beliefs. Sub standard healthcare.
They have totally different food and clothes basically everything. Music and spiritual effects are different too.
I would think the customs are very traditional. Family structure is likely the most traditional.
They are probably family oriented and highly responsible people.
Speaks Swahili likely as well as a practicing Muslim, wears bright colors, maybe some Arabic influence
I'm sure they have different religious beliefs , and are more tribal/uncivilized.
Food choices would be different; fresh foods would be seasonal. Gender roles would be more sharply defined.
East African traditions, probably based on the town he is from.
When I think East Africa, I think Egypt or Syria or something like that. So I would think of Islamic traditions and customs, specifically dealing with how they worship and the food they eat. Also how they dress. But otherwise I am kind of ignorant about what people from East Africa are actually like.
I am sure they have different beliefs when it comes to relationships, eating, spirituality, and most likely different morals,
They probably eat different foods, they eat whats available there. They also probably dress differently, and they view marriage differently and speak a different language.
Eating with hands, wearing not a lot of clothes, speaking a completely difference language
I would imagine they are very conservative in his country much more restrictive than even conservative americans. I imagine that family is of great importance for Ngolo as well as working hard.
I think they eat different types of foods, different in preparation, and what they actually consume. Also while religion is pretty universal, there are different ways of practicing it, also the places have different standards of living.
More people means more human interaction and slightly less stable life stocks.
I think that they would have a strong sense of family, religion is important, the are resourceful and use resources efficently
Differing practices regarding family life, religion, and customs
I would assume either Islamic or poly-theistic beliefs that have cultural traditions in family life and food preparations.
I imagine life is generally similar to life in the US but that a lot of the details are different. Both countries have the same social structures (government, family, educational institutions, cultural traditions, etc.) but their religion(s), form of government, the type of food they eat and the holidays they celebrate, family dynamics, etc. are different.
They are probably very community focused and have different holidays and festivals that they celebrate that Ngolo would miss.
I think people from his country would celebrate a lot differently than we do in America. I think they would have a lot less rules for married couples. I think he comes from a male dominated society.
Food is eaten communally more than not. Everything else is pretty similar; the most American tradition is running away from American traditions.
I think people from Ngolo's country are into polygamy. They are ok with having more than one spouse. They eat food with their hands, no utensils.
I think they obviously follow different religious practices and traditions and their culture will be different
I’d imagine Ngolo’s come from a more village and hierarchical type of environment where the customs are significantly different from those of America. He might go through initiation ceremonies when going from boyhood to manhood, have certain rites and exchanges when picking a wife and getting married, and certainly he’d have very divergent religious beliefs and practices if he grew up within an environment that practiced a native religion.
I would imagine a very patracal view, most lilely practices Islam, hard working
I think they are probably very primitive and use open fire to cook everything and have arranged marriage and that tribal leaders make all the decisions. They also probably have no technology or proper plumbing.
There practices would center around the traditions of their ancestors which would involve nature and family.
probably strong family values that are rooted in religious beliefs.
I believe that in east Africa, the population is somewhat tribal. They have somewhat different language, traditions and even religions that are delineated along tribal lines. I think that these people have the same basic family and moral compass, and that they are generally the same in their attitudes as we are in this country. The tribal background may make them somewhat less willing to assimilate into to our culture in the United States. However, if they are willing to immigrate here there should be some willingness to adapt.
I'm not sure what kind of traditions come from East Africa, but if I had to guess I'd say they have very split gender roles such as having the man do hunting and the woman cook, and maybe some music rituals including djembes.
Men and women are not treated equally. Many different languages and religions are practiced in his home country.
They practice a religion that is true to East Africa, they dress in garments from the region and eat foods that are common to their areas.
I wouldd assume the traditions and customs are more tribal than they are here. By tribal I mean each group has own beliefs. I see these people as being concerned with having a better life and probably educated to a decent extent. Religion will be that which is passed down from previous generations which means they are prbably similar to us just on diffferent levels of the spectrum
I expect he comes from a rural area where most practice farming. They may follow historical customs and religious practices about families and interactions. I expect that they are generalists who do many household functions themselves
People in East Africa value and respect their elders and often hold ceremonies to honor them.
The "traditions and customs" are probably a less consumptive lifestyle, which certainly clashes with the average American's lifestyle.
Conservative views towards the world. More religious, against secularism and women's rights.
I imagine he eats very different food, and my assumption is that his views towards women are more conservative. I would guess he is more quiet and reserved.
I think at this point he would have a lot of the same traditions as someone born here.
I think that he is born in more traditional society with tribal rules. He is probably from somehow poor country, where respect authorities and have traditional values and their religion believes are stronger.
I would have no idea what kind of tradition he is trying to follow, but I don't mind him doing that if he also has some american traditions in his life. He can completely shut out american tradition when he is in america.
I feel like he is very religious. He knows how to value money better than most. He probably loves his own music and has his cultural dances also.
I imagine there's specific cuisine that's unique to his culture that he prefers. There might be holidays he observes that Americans don't as well.
He would probably have far different social traditions and culture norms. Probably less sanitary overall.
They have different food dishes. They have different music. They do not shake with their left hand.
Everyone is probably responsible for contributing to the society, from the men to the women to the children.
I believe that people from Africa tend to be very religious and family oriented
I think they have very strong family connections with fathers yielding considerable power in the family. I think their sexual attitudes are very conservative.
Gathering/farming more food themselfs. Spending long hours in a very hot sunny environment.
I think Ngolo practices some tribal traditions that most Americans would find strange. The traditions might not be the most sanitary nor safe at all.
I am not aware of traditional customs or traditions unique to East Africa
I have no idea what traditions are practiced in some random region in East Africa. I imagine the food he eats, and how it is prepared is different along with religious matters.
They probably have a traditional rural lifestyle where things have been done the same way for a long period of time. They are proud of their traditions and lifestyle.
I believe Ngolo had the same traditions as we do but in different ways, Am sure food is different and religious practices could be different.
they are religious usually muslim or follow some indigenous religion. they follow customs that are much different to america's
I think they follow tribal traditions. Have the same sort of hierarchy as a tribe. I think he follows a different set of moral values.
Could have muslim practices of restricting women, and having unfriendly views towards gays, atheists, beer, pork, and freedom of speech
Might be different religious practices, or different food. Honestly, I dont really care
If I had to guess I'd say he comes from a place where living with family is traditional as well as not asking for more than he has.
I went to a college where about 35% of the graduates were African. In addition my town receives a large number of Congolese refugees. I am not sure if this experience is supposed to influence my answer. I will assume yes. People from Africa are very conservative, and religious. They value education very much. They are very social and like big gatherings (church, parties, etc.). They are quite frugal when it comes to things like food and prefer home cooked meals.
I would assume someone from Africa would be more inclinded to respect their elders than people from the U.S. Perhaps he comes from some sort of tribe, which is a way different style of living than in America.
I think people in East Africa observe different holidays, practice different religions, have different attitudes toward relationships and eat and prepare foods differently than we do in America.
Most likely, Ngolo practices a traditional African religion and consumes food native to his home country. These customs are unique in the United States because very few Americans do the same things.
Probably some old archaic and arbitrary traditions based on religion or similar.
I think there would be certain customs for greeting people, and perhaps talking to strangers would be more normalized.
They wouldn't follow the same hygiene standards that Americans would. They also would have a backwards view on women's rights and civil rights.
They probably have different preferences in food, clothing type and patterns, specioal ocassions and holidays. In short - non-European traditions, but rather ones derived from historical African culture.
I think some form of traditional clothing would be worn no matter how large or little. A strong family relationship. I would also imagine music is a large part of their traditions and culture.
I think a person like Ngolo eats a very different type of diet than someone who grew up in the USA.
they are religious and celebrate holidays with colorful costumes
Ngolo probably follows African traditions.
African people may have more familial customs. Some may be Muslim.
It sounds like ALL of Ngolo's traditions and customs would be vastly different from that of Americans. So much so that it's difficult to come up with specific examples. I imagine they eat differently, dress differently, have a different religion, etc.
I think his traditions would probably include lots of religious dogmatic texts. They might eat certain types of foods depending on the days of the week.
I think that they definitely have very different traditional foods. I also very much think East African religious customs are very different.
I have no knowledge of the traditions and customs
I think they are similar to most countries, who value their families and culture.
Probably family traditions, food and the way they do things, religious beliefs are probably much different.
He likely comes from a country without much equality between the races and genders. He also comes from a country that likely has little individual freedom
Create new traditions in the environment they're headed to.
I beleive that there would be multiple differences in religious practices. I also think how his family would interact would be different than US families.
Probably some kind of sacrifice. Also, something to do with fires
I made an assumption that Ngolo lived in a rural town among people of his same color (from East Africa) I imagined that he ate wild foods, and liked to dance as a way of expression.
Traditions may include conservative views on women and arranged marriages.
Their kinds of traditions and customs would have more value on spending time with family and friends rather than on their smartphone or the internet with social media.
Traditions completely different from the ones here in America. He most likely has different views on religion and society, as well as business and miscellaneous things.
More tied to family and community than the average American.
I really cannot answer this because I am not familiar with their traditions and customs.
He probably has more traditional views on things. He also probably eats foods that are unlike what most U.S. citizens eat.
Use to living in tows with dirty streets and trash tossed about.
I have no clue about East African customs and traditions. I'm sure they are different from people that grew up in the US but that is all i can really say.
I really don't have any idea of what kind of customs people from that area would follow. They'd probably have holidays that are somewhat different and have different social mores, but I couldn't say what in particular.
I have no idea. I'd imagine that it leans towards Arabic styled traditions, but I don't really know much about that either.
He practices american traditions and does american things, and goes to american cafes and such.
Mysogny would probably be a big part of it. Treatment of girls in general too - seen as objects and possessions.
They eat only certain foods, dress in traditional clothes, speak only their language and maybe a bit of English.
They probably mark the same milestones as other cultures
I think he probably has a different religion than the majority of Americans, the food he enjoys is different, and what he likes to do with friends is different.
They probably practice arranged marriages and genital mutilation of young girls.
I would assume that they don't follow Christianity. I also think they eat different foods than typical American food.
I think for the most part that most traditions and customs are more strick the the ones we have here.
I don't know what the traditions of east Africa are.
I would say they buy their foods in local markets rather than supermarkets, they rely more on the land, and they are outside more.
The traditions and customs in the country where Ngolo comes from will be have the same basic values as American's have as far as family values are concerned. There will be some differences based on location and food choices based on geography but no difference just as across different states in the USA
I would imagine people in East Africa are more religious and take that extremely seriously with multiple prayers a day. i would imagine the food it more vegetable based, with lots of spices.
Traditional families that have jobs of fishing, craft-making, traditional dance and colorful clothing attire.
More conservative in style of dress and when discussing intercourse.
They celebrate African traditions like food and dance.
I would think they follow pretty strict religious customs, and many customs related to marriage and relationships as well as dietary needs.
I can't even guess, but I assume they're typical customs from East Africa.
More a tribal ceremonial culture with a more traditional sense of dress and regular ceremony and rituals
They probably have more opinions on what the roles of male and female should be.
He probably is very into his culture, I'm guessing it's male-dominant. Storytelling is probably a custom, there is probably some sort of passage to manhood custom. Marriage is probably view differently (younger women, perhaps a forced marriage, perhaps even multiple wives)
People seems to be very religious and have a good traditions where they spend time with family and friends
Well, I'm guessing he's Christian. He probably eats fairly different foods (specialties from his country). I hate to stereotype, but he probably like soccer (either playing and/or watching). I don't know, he's probably a regular guy.
I think accustomed to types of jewely and tradition could be dancing.
There was much more labor involved for Ngolo back in his old country. He was a more active person to get through the day.
they would be more outdoor related activity, more hunting wild game, and similar. Recognizing holidays or customs from his country.
I don't know that much about African culture. I know the music and food would be different, along with some holidays.
Their religious practices are probably more similar to that of rural Americans than Urban ones. Their food preparation is no doubt different, utilizing different spices and seasonings, as well as local produce.
Very traditional customs that are native to his home country.
I think that many of them were hunters, farmers, and gatherers back in East Africa. Some people hunted for food, some gathered food, some prepared food, and the rest contributed in other ways to daily life. I imagine that they have very different beliefs and traditions there than we do here in the US.
I think that his country is more traditional and has more focus on their own culture and family and not really focused on changing or adapting to the present. So they are more interested in following in their ancestor's footsteps.
Probably more conservative moral/sexual/religious practices. Somewhat less individualistic and technology-driven.
I believe they are mostly Christian and observe Christian holidays. They have drastically different food preferences, however, and how/when to eat certain things.
Different Gods, women are repressed, different foods
praying throughout the day, dances around the fire and making sure family is cared of
They probably have strong family ties, and often eat meals together. They probably cook a lot of basic, indigenous foods but in a spicy, tasty way.
East Africa could be Somalia or Kenya, Tanzania. They are very different countries so it's hard to say. By the description, I would guess Ngolo was from Somalia so probably a strict muslim which often contradicts our traditions towards women and Christian customs which dominate our country.
They follow traditions where woman don't have equal rights. They follow customs that are more heathen than what we are used to.
I would assume people eat with their hands and enjoy traditional African dishes. I think they value family and care for each other.
The country Ngolo comes from is more reserved with relationships and family values.
I would guess there's a bigger emphasis on community and a more communal way of living.
I think the people from the country Ngolo comes from customarily wear African costumes very different from American clothing. I also think they have different social traditions of multi-generational families living together, whereas that doesn't happen much in the U.S.
I believe that they have religious ceremonies that are very different than ours, more dancing worshiping . They have a low respect for women,
They tend to be more religion focused and follow traditions set by their religious beliefs. They have more conservative traditions and probably see american customs as a little extreme.
He likes his traditional ways. The food preparations are probably much different as well as religious practices.
They have some religious practices which require prayer and dancing. Maybe candles. They have holidays they celebrate that mean nothing to Americans. They are not bound by marriage in order to have sex,
People in Ngolo's country follow old fashioned traditions and customs. They follow conservative beliefs.
Very old traditions. Passed down from generation to generation. His people are very proud of these traditions and customs.
Different foods different religion different dress different jobs different economy different holidays different medical treatment
I think in his country that there might be more focus on family. I also think that they would have cultural traditions that I am unaware of.
He might be Muslim so he might study the quran or he could be christian. He might eat certain foods that are traditional in his homeland.
I think their tradition is to associate themselves with their people ( people from their Continent)
There's really no telling, but they probably are very tradition-oriented.
Probably has some different "holidays" than people who were born in the US. He probably has a bunch of small traditions that most are probably unaware of.
Possibly more traditional community roles and dress.
He doesn't have the culture we do and so his practices will vary from ours. Most people would probably think of them as more primitive.
I think his country would be more likely to follow traditional gender roles . I think the food and music would be a lot different.
I think about traditional African dress which is colorful and vibrant. I also think about how they are stricter in their marriage arrangements and when it comes to music.
Their traditions and customs value hard work and friendliness among their neighbors.
The food that they eat is a bit different as far as eating goat and things that Americans dont typically eat as a main food. Their language and traditional holidays are different.
Maybe they worship and revere something over there that we wouldn't over here, like cows over India. Also things like the way people dress or marriage.
Ngolo's customs may include a tight-knit family, with multiple generations living with or within close proximity to each other, as well as certain foods, music, and holidays which are regularly celebrated.
Depending on what country or tribe he hailed from, it was likely matriarchial to one degree or another. If he was from a more ubran area, he is likely to have either an Islamic or a Christian set of beliefs. If it was more rural, likely some mixture of Islamic/Christian with Pagan-influenced beliefs.
They probably have a different religion they follow with possibly some different ways of dressing. They probably also are very close to families.
I think people from Ngolo's country follow polygamy and have many generations of the family in one living arrangement.
I think it is very different. Many African communities are based more around family, because it's a necessity.
In the country that Ngolo comes from, traditions such as religion (Christianity, Islam, etc.) and certain traditions pertaining to marriage are most likely followed.
They probably have certain customs for like how they dress, how they interact with family, and what kind of meals they prepare.
I think people in Ngolo's country are more family-oriented. They are closer and friendlier than people here.
I think that they live life differently there and have different morals and traditions
Religious beliefs are sure to be different, although I can't say I know for certain his religion . Family traditions and customs when it came to marrying or child bearing are probably very different as well. I am just not knowledgeable as to what they might be.
I think that people like to eat food prepared with spices that are important to their cuisine. I also think that they enjoy dressing with vivid colors and they enjoy their local music.
They probably eat different food. They probably also practice a different religion.
When I think of East Africa I think of Somalia and the religion there is Muslim so I picture him being muslim.
Females are second class citizens. Laws are probably based on religion and keeing men in charge.
I think people in Ngolo's country have different religion and beliefs. I think that they are accustomed to their own food and the way they think is different.
I think that they have certain foods that they eat, clothing that they wear, traditions that they practice and implement in their daily lives.
From religious and superstitious to generally non-religious and with little attention to superstition etc.
I don't know because the description simply said they were very different than that of customs in the United States. I'm sure one of the customs is subjugation of females.
they want to make money like we do they want clean food and clean houses too. The why they make food maybe different and how they dress
In his country I am sure they have a much stronger sense of community. That is why he finds comfort in associating with people of the same culture.
I think they have traditions surrounding special days in their lives, just like Americans do. They're just different traditions. They may eat different food or have different rituals for particular times in their lives.
His traditions and customs revolve around his family and religion.
They might speak swahili, and wear traditional, colorful clothing. They are probably very family/community-oriented
The people in the country from where he migrated probably dress differently and eat different food.
I would think they are not that different from us. Being they celebrate holidays and birthdays. They eat different foods and dress differently. They might look different but still hold the same human values.
Misogynistic with traditional views of roles for men and women. Socially conservative and unwilling to adopt and adapt to American customs and social mores.
I don't know much about East Africa, but I know different ethnic groups have their own histories and traditions. Additionally, since we don't know where in East Africa he came from, who knows if he grew up in a city or a small town or somewhere very rural, all of which have different impacts on what kinds of traditions or customs he might have. Africa, even just East Africa, is way too diverse to try to guess what kind of traditions or customs he might have.
They probably have diffrent religious practices than most people in the United States. I also feel like there relationships are a bit diffrent so it may be hard for him to date. He also may want to celebrate certain holidays that his friends dont practice so it would be hard asking them to participate.
It's difficult to describe what traditions and customs people follow in his country because there was no information in the article regarding traditions and customs.
I believe that in most of the countries in East Africa, the religion is Islam or of pagan descent. The people of East Africa follow tribal style lives, where the women are the hard-working members of the tribes, and the men are the political and religious leaders of their people.
Perhaps they eat certain foods or pray to certain religious figures. They may celebrate different holidays or may celebrate similar holidays differently (like birthdays).
If he came from a country with a large Christian population, then at least some traditions are rather similar to those in USA. If he came from a Muslim country, then the story told before about him is likely not to be true
Cracking open the heads of albinos and those with bald heads - thinking they will find gold inside. Raping babies, believing that is how you can cure HIV/AIDS.
I imagine that Ngolo has very dated ideas about gender issues and equality, and his customs are probably centered around the land and harvest
They are probably more conservative in regards to social and religious traditions. Also, they are likely to be less consumerist.
Like Sudan or something. Very traditional.
They probably have the same traditions and cultures as Americans do, but just have their own way of following through. The United states is considered the melting pot, meaning that Ngolo (East Africa) culture and traditions are probably already a part of the United States but a more civilized version because our laws.
They are family friendly with there own religion practice. And they have different food cultures too. And the dress different to.
I feel the traditions and customs put great emphasis on the family and local community. I think his beliefs are more rooted in ancient tribal customs, perhaps with polygamy and worship of African gods.
I think they are probably very family oriented. They also value close ties and music.
I would guess that women are not treated as equally in Nigeria as they are in the United States. This probably goes for LGBT people as well. There is probably a greater emphasis on family in Nigeria.
Compared to American traditions, I think that his customs are backwards. People from these countries often have low opinions of women.
They probably eat in a communal style and raise their own animals for food. They celebrate with dances, songs, and clothing native to their region.
People from his country are used to dealing with even more corruption at all levels of society. They are also used to a smaller amount of daily consumption choices.
I would only be guessing. I would hate to assume what someone else's traditions and customs are just by knowing what region of the planet they were born on.
Iwould think that his holidays and celebrations regarding important people would be vastly different than those from the US.
Traditions and customs people in the country Ngolo come from are shown in the type of food they eat and the way they prepare it. Also, the music they listen to differs among the two cultures.
The follow different religious ceremonies that celebrate with different foods.
I think people marry young and they are expected to hvae kids for a healthy marriage
Probably certain religions and certain traditions in marriages.
Traditional clothing such as wraps are often worn. Music may be different.
Cooking their own food all the time, travelling on foot, large families
religious share everything with the community
I think Ngolo would have more older traditions. Out of touch with today's society and world.
In south and west Africa, customs and traditions have been mostly Christian. In north and east Africa the customs and traditions are centered around Islamism. So, it's likely Ngolo follows traditions and customs based on Islamism since he is from East Africa.
I honestly am not too familiar with East African traditions. They obviously have different traditions and culture but I am not sure in how they are different
I think they follow a more home cooking style where they don't eat out a lot and everything is made fresh. I also believe his customs involve more social interactions when it comes to gatherings rather than watching TV or eating out.
They survive on very little food.They dance around and bang drums.
I feel like they don't really have religions they all do. I think they do celebrate holidays just like we do in the US.
I think they would celebrate different holidays, which would include customary food being served and prepared in a certain way.
I think they do things a lot differently than the U.S. Women probably do not work there and are not as accepted as they are here. We probably have a lot more than he did in Africa such as stores, shops, and such.
I'm not sure, given that I don't know what country Ngolo is from. There are many different traditions and customs on the African continent, and I don't feel as though I can generalize.
He probably takes part in large communal dinners. Probably celebrates Kwanzaa as well.
They probably follow the rule that the man is the head of the house and the woman adhere by their rules.
Going to church, cloth dressing, eating goat
They probably don't grow up in as nice of neighborhoods as we have here in the U.S. The food is probably a lot different and how it's prepared.
They live very simply without much technology, they live in poor communities with no basic healthcare
I think the kind of traditions and customs in the country where Ngolo comes from they might have a slightly different religions then we have and I think they may have a somewhat different variety of food to eat and
It depends where he is from, but he might be Muslim, and he defintley would eat different foods and keep house in different wasy
I would imagine they have comparatively strict sexual mores compared to in the United States, along with hygiene practices that we would probably consider bizarre. I picture East African countries as being either Muslim or animist, and so they would have cultural beliefs reflecting those religions, largely dissimilar from American attitudes.
I can only assume that their dress, food, and possibly religion is different, nut not necessarily. Decreased chances for higher education, clean water and easily accessible food.
They probably follow Christianity. They also probably meet up periodically to do family things and activities.
They are probably very family oriented and hard working. They celebrate holidays and are religious.
i really don't know not having visited east africa but i imagine that they speak a different language, have different religious beliefs, eat ethnic food and have their own traditions that are different from mine
I think people may have higher morals and standards in Ngolo country when compared to the US.
They follow traditions passed down through aboriginal culture.
Their holidays are different, the food is different, the way people run their lives is different
Its a much less accessible country, so i imagine its much tougher to provide food and protection. So im sure he comes from working very hard for what comes easy to americans.
The eat specific foods and have their own religious beliefs and practices.
Shew. I assume East African nations are pretty poor, so they may follow some more primitive traditions than we do in the West.
They do not value treating women as equals. Also, they would prefer to take free money from government handouts as opposed to working.
I would think he has more earthy traditions that rely less on material things
I think people follow very different customs in East Africa. I imagine that people from East Africa are much more communal, and far less individualistic than in the United States. I also believe that society in East Africa is much more patriarchal, and women there enjoy far fewer freedoms than women in the U.S.
East Africa is a somewhat generic description so it's hard to say since each country has it's own traditions.
I think those people in Ngolo have a very strict tradition and custom there. I also feel if a person breaks a certain rule or tradition, they would be punish.
I think it is customary to marry young. I think that growing and farming your own food is more commonplace there.
Im not sure the traditions in East Africa but since he wants to follow our american customs Im assuming there nothing like the traditions we have here in the US.
Ngolo likely follows some of the same tradition and customs that people born in the US follow, since most people in the US are from or have ancestors from other countries.
I am guessing that dance is common and certain types of cooking are common (e.g. picking up foods with a special bread instead of silverware)
Probably comes from a place where there is less equality between men and woman.
I believe they are probably more in touch with spirituality and respect for their elders. They eat traditional meals and take religion moe seriously
I think they follow strict food preparation rules, certain courtship rules, respect for elders and authority, and probably some misogyny.
Praying multiple times a day/ turbans, etc
Possibly keeps to himself and a small group of people. Maybe used to working a simple job and not spending a lot of money on anything except food and a place to stay. Maybe a little more religious
they follow the african tradition. They are more intune with their spirit self than americans.
I have no idea of the traditions of East Africa.
A large focus on family and ancestors being important and possibly in charge of his life decisions
I would imagine they are used to more primitive ways of life - catching food, cooking it. Also he probably wears traditional clothing
I would imagine them as very backwards people with silly superstitions and poor hygeine.
In an african country the customs can differ greatly even from one part of the country to another. As someone who has been there it could vary widely from people who practice witchcraft and all sorts of things to people who's traditions are not so different from americans. I would guess his idea of cleanliness and health are a little more fluid than that of the average american. His general sense of right and wrong is probably somewhat similar with the exception of views of women. African nations tend to be a bit behind on the equality front.
I would think the country where Ngolo comes from is more conservative and not so technologically advanced.
From my experiences with coworkers from Kenya/Somalia they are very family oriented. The only weird thing that I remember is the "dowry" where when marrying a woman a cash gift is provided to the parents of the bride. This struck me as odd as almost like buying the bride. However, overall most of my coworkers from this region were largely the same.
He is traditional. He tries to keep his history alive and not follow US customs.
If Ngolo was to marry a woman from his country he would be expected to come up with a bride price or dowry.
they are probably more religous and live off the grid
I imagine they follow same customs like holidays. I imagine they value friends and family.
I honestly can't even guess. I'm guessing not very hygienic and not great
There is a much different sense of personal space, the people are more comfortable standing close together and touching each other. There is a greater ease and friendliness there, where people help each other in day to day life, rather than ignoring each other like they do here.
I would think more naturally prepared foods, and maybe more tribal beliefs
I would guess that he might be Christian. He probably comes from a more communal society, where one is much more concerned with the larger group than just the personal self or immediate family. He probably eats fresher foods and less meat than a typical American.
I'm not familiar with the traditions or customs of East Africa. I would be interested in finding out though.
I don't have any idea. I'm sure food, families, relationships are all different in many ways. Who knows what the traditions or holidays or customs are where he comes from.
I am not familiar with traditions and customs in Africa
The people would follow the custom of arranged marriages and marrying girls who are under 18.
They probably have a vastly different cuisine. They probably do not have the same conveniences as developed nations.
I think there is a focus on family and keeping close to those who are in your inner circle
I know that there is a high esteem for family and traditional marriage in many African countries, and I admire this.
I honestly have no idea because there is no info given on where exactly he is from. I assume he is from a religious area.
I'm honestly not sure. I imagine they have different religious traditions. I also imagine that they live in extended households. I know its custom in a lot of African nations to live in the same house as your extended family.
They have high respect for their elders. A regimented time is less valued.
They are a lot of people living in villages with their own smaller religious ideals. They also have very different practices for handling their deceased people.
East Africa is a huge region so it really depends on what part of it he comes from. If he is from a rural part he is probably not going to treat women well or treat those different from him well. If he's from a less rural area he might not be that much different from us beyond religious differences.
I expect that certain expectations about sex and family are very different, for example marrying at early ages, potentially beliefs around human sexuality that are quite different than your casual American citizen's.
I think they follow traditions where they should get married young and raise a family with lots of kids.
I think they are very family oriented people and would eat a completely different kind of food from normal Americans.
I think people like Ngolo follow similar traditions and customs as people in USA. They maybe differ in a religious practices, but that may be it... I think people coming to the States want to live better lives. I think that conditions of their lives in Africa are much worse...
I would think that people from East Africa have certain traditions that are exclusive to that area. Certain tribes have their own traditions for marriage, etc. that differ from that here in the US.
They probably have religions different than our typical christian sects. he probably also prepares different foods than what we would have.
He values family and has different holidays and meals.
They probably celebrate different holidays and eat different food.
I think people from Ngolo's country are accustomed to the women staying at home as oppose to joining the workforce.
I have no idea, since I have never been to any country on the african continent.
I don't know the traditions that East Africans follow but i would think that they would do things that derive from their ancestors.
Family food preparation would be important. Dancing traditions to appease gods.
I think he follows basic traditions, he celebrates Christmas and Easter. I think he spends time with his family on holidays as well.
I would expect it to be a much more relaxed pace with food choices different than the US norm, probably different beliefs in male/female roles and relationships. Different clothing and slightly different hygiene routines.
I believe the traditions and customs are deeply rooted, more strict, and less tolerant than ours.
They probably wear colorful clothes and accessories. I assume instead of Christmas, they celebrate Kwanzaa.
they are selfish and only like to be around their own people, they come to this country to suck the resources we have
I am very unfamiliar with African culture; if Ngolo was able to migrate to the United States I would assume he had a higher standard of living than the typical African American. Thus, his practices were more modern and closer to western culture but most likely still much less advanced than his African heritage.
I suppose that in many ways those traditions are similar to American ones. I think religion for example is probably important in his country. Family and family traditions are also probably very important.
They like to work hard. They care about their family very much
Perhaps they follow a type of coming-of-age ceremony or arranged marriages. There may be traditional dances. There may be a non-Christian religion.
Although I am not quite sure what traditions people follow in East Africa, but possibly festivals are a tradition.
I would think that he would be immersed in Muslim culture, with a diet restricted to that prescribed by the Koran. He would be family oriented and interested in the natural world.
I think Ngolo comes from a restricted background with traditional eastern african custom. There may be poor quality of life in terms of food and hygine. He
They likely eat different foods and drinks at possibly different times of the day. They likely have different religious observations and traditions. They likely weare different clothing and have way different views on what clothing signifies when it is warn.
They may observe Ramadan and eat food different from typical “American” food.
Different cuisine and music, sports interests (soccer). Not sure what religion he is; even if Christian probably not practiced the same as in the US. Probably traditional gender roles.
He probably comes from a more interdependent culture compared to a rather individualistic culture like the US
I imagine the place he came from has a very different social structure, so many of his practices could come from his social position. I imagine people in Ngolo's country are more open and friendly with each other, and have more of a sense of brotherhood and camaraderie with each other.
I imagine that they are more traditional- they do not believe in gay marriage, for example. They may also believe that women are responsible for childrearing while men are in charge.
Difference in how they prepare foods and not having certain amenity.
I believe Ngolo comes from a large family where it is traditional to live with one's extended relatives. I believe his family places a high value in hard work.
His culture will be vastly different depending on w here exactly he grew up in East Africa. Very different customs and ways of life.
Probably Ngolo lived in a more cohesive community with many relatives nearby. His traditions, and his ways of living were the result of centuries close associations and traditions.
They probably have a common religion and eat food typical of their country.
I really do not know what kinds of stuff they do differently but made it clear it is different from the USA and that is why he is uncomfortable around native born Americans. I am guessing they feel differently about marriage, maybe multiple wives or mistresses. I think maybe the eat different animals that is not come here like horses or something. I think that they probably have different religious options too like may they do sacrifices or something.
It didn't specify what country Ngolo is from, just that he came from somewhere in East Africa. I don't know anything about the customs he came from.
Birthdays and weddings are family celebrations.
They probably eat different foods than we do here and live in poor conditions without much money.
Traditions with and including family. Traditions of hard work.
Ngolo may follow tribal customs or traditional indigenous practices. Or, he may come from a much more urbanized and Westernized part of Africa.
They pray several times a day and family lives together.
When they eat they eat with their hands instead of fork and spoon.
I think the customs and traditions these people follow are different in that they do not value material things. I think that they have traditions that have to do with family and more cheaper things that are not expensive and cost a lot of money.
I think they follow traditions of their culture. I would imagine they have religious beliefs that are vastly different than ours. They have completely different food choices and probably speak in a different language.
They are people just the same as any other. Their lives may be a little more difficult, but I know they love and feel.
I'm sure he comes from a place that has differences in religious, dietary, and ceremonial practices.
In terms of traditions and customs, I think people follow the practices that are associated with that particular culture.
Hencomes from a place where traditions are living in a neighbourhood surrounded by people. The help each others. They all are also familiar with each other and they help each others.
In his country people are probably very strict and conservative and do not give a lot of freedom to do what you would like to do.
He is probably from a small village, so he is used to a community of people caring for him. He might come from a village or culture that had arranged marriages. His food is probably rice based.
idol worship, lawlessness, violence, mutulation, rejection of medical and science, animal sacrifice
more social people, they get together more, dancing in streets, happier
I have no idea. I know most countries there are very poor so they would probably have different hygiene practices. There are also a lot of tribes in Africa but the passage didn't mention if he was from one of them, they have many odd traditions.
It's probably a masculine society and more hunting/gathering than technological.
I think they are very similar to our own traditions because everyone is more alike than they are different.
Although they are integrating into the U.S. and probably practicing any traditions or customs we have that they find they enjoy, there are probably traditions and customs that Ngolo has that he still practices. Certain foods, African holidays such as Kwanza that comes after our Christmas holiday in the new Year, various types of Native dress that we don't have here might also be some things that he still has, and practices. It would also be hard to learn our English as Ngolo;'s native tongue was something he would have learned as a tiny child. Relationship customs and practices might also be different. Here where medical professionals are used, Ngolo may have even grown up with folk medicine, witch doctors, shamans, etc.
They are more rigid and conservative than those in the US
Each country varies, just like on other Continents, but I would imagine food preparation is different and, unless raised by missionaries, his religious beliefs will probably be different. He may have different attitudes toward the opposite sex and to marriage.
I think his traditions and customs were simpler than those of the average American.
The traditions might include what kind of food people eat and what time of day they eat, how they conduct business transactions. They could also include family relationships, like how close or far apart families are.
I have no idea. Some places in Africa still practice trial by ordeal. Regarless of that people are people and our basic needs are the same. There is always some common ground.
My overall understanding of africa I would think he comes from a more traditional tribe but he could be from a bigger city. I would think they would participate in ceremonies and spiritual gathers and the like that would be unheard of here.
I think he most likely practices Islam and adheres to Islamic tradition.
I would guess that his community was very tight-knit, and probably tradition and religion-oriented.
Religous traditions followed would be muslim or christian. valuing family and neighbors would be a custom.
they would not be as clean as us in america nor would they access to even cook healthy.
Many people in East Africa are Muslims, but Ngolo is not a Muslim name (or at least not one I have ever heard before), plus he doesn't seem to be part of a Muslim community in America. So I am guessing his religion and culture are specific to a certain region or ethnic group in East Africa. The culture probably has a strong sense of kinship. Some kind of animal spirits/symbolism may be present. Gender roles are probably well defined. It is possible that polygamy is (or at least was) practiced in this culture. They probably eat foods that aren't easy to find in most parts of the USA. The people of this region are probably still trying to overcome a history of colonialism and oppression, and perhaps internal strife within their nation.
I would imagine he's not very educated and well spoken, that his work ethic is strong and that family relationships are strong
Ngola would most likely speak a different language other then English. Ngolo might practice a native religion from his country but he could also be a Muslim or christian. Ngolo probably does not celebrate the holidays of America and has different tastes in food and clothing.
They probably have a religion very different from our normal religions. They also probably value women slightly less than we do. They are used to hunting for their food and living in poorer conditions which results in less than ideal hygiene.
I think they would probably be more religious and community oriented than your average American. I would also think they would have man different holidays and traditions that would make the US traditions seem odd to them.
They are very family and community oriented. Ngolo's people prefer to live communally amongst each other
Probably eating strange foods. Probably following a different religion than mine.
i am not sure but i would think that it is very different than in america a little backward. than here i this country.
I think they have large families where generaations tend to all live together, and they like bright colors, music, and dancing.
The traditions and customs people in the country where Ngolo follow is getting married young and steal.
I think people in Ngolos home country practice many of the same traditions we here in America practice.
I believe that people in the country that Ngolo is from are pretty similar to that of those in America. I believe they probably have different religions and prepare food differently.
Maybe growing up in a neighborhood where people did the same things, sportwise, custom wise. Like havinf dinners where people come over, similar foods, similar traditions.
I imagine that the people in Ngolo's community in East Africa are more family oriented with extended family living close together. I also imagine they live close to the land eating traditional foods and using traditional methods of food preparation.
I think they are probably friendlier and more helpful to their neighbors.
The would follow traditions based on religious beliefs of the nation. They would be quite family centered and conservative.
Religious practices are much more conservative/traditional, and have more impact on daily life than they do here. Life is based around a very tight knit extended family unit.
People from Ngolo’s country may see men as superior to women and that there are distinct roles by gender. Women do the majority of the work inside the home and men outside the home. Religious practices are most likely very different as in their prayer rituals and probably also have different food customs.
They may have multiple mates.And they my not eat pork
He probably has a big family that enjoys music and large dinners
I suspect Ngolo and his people worship very different gods or deities than do most Americans. I also suspect they have very different marriage customs, foods they eat, and tribal structures.
I think more like a long dress with a long scarf wrapped around them
I think they follow the tradition of the past. They live by what the older generations have done.
depending on the location he could be from some urban location or a smaller village, so he could be religious/spiritual.
I belive it is a slower pace of living. There is probably more respect shown and people are not so divided.
Certain types of clothing and food and have a nomadic lifestyle.
He eats foods that are atypical for most americans, likely has traditions that have him revere his ancestors, and is shy of technology
I am unfortunately very uneducated about life in general in Africa. I imagine the area is not urban, but developed to a significant degree.
I think he comes from an African country and probably does a lot of things in a traditional and or more "custom laden" manner
They are probably more family or unit-like, where everyone does something to support their village.
Many of the same, cooking dinner, attending a church, working.
Foods would be quite different from what is found here. Religeon may or not be different, but the way that they view daily life and posessions would be amazingly different.
I think that religion and faith are probably a big part of Ngolo life. I also think that family is probably also a big part.
I couldn't begin to guess. I would imagine they are religious based.
To make the difference and demonstrations of the different kinds of Maasailer.
eating certain types of food on certain holidays. Celebrating weddings
They probably trade livestock a lot more than the average American. Also there might be more tribal traditions in his homecountry while Americans have no tribal traditions at all.
I think they would have different hollidays and would probably have different things they like to do socially
They think about themselves first and prefer people with their skin tone.
I'm honestly not sure. I assume they are quite different from the ones we have in the us, but honestly I don't know for sure.
No idea. East Africa is a very large place and he could have a massive variety of different cultures and traditions
Their families and husband dominant where he has the right to do as he pleases. Women are second-class. They are behind technology-wise. Their households have multiple generations in them. They eat inexpensive foods.
I'm not really sure what types of traditions and customs are followed in East Africa, but I'm assuming the types of foods that are eaten are very different. Religion is probably very different too regarding the way it is practiced, and holidays and celebrations are likely different.
I think the people in Ngolo's former country do a lot of the same things we do, but they probably have a different religion, different foods, and probably different clothing. I'm sure they celebrate different events, but just for different purposes.
Honestly there was a few things that were pretty close to Traditions over here in America but their outlook on bathing and relationships are a little different and that makes me uncomfortable
They probably have customs that are much more stringent regarding taking care of their homes, practices like removing shoes before entering and conserving energy and water. His consumption habits are probably much different also, his customs are not grounded in commerce and the idea that more and bigger is better.
They have a much different way of life than we do. I imagine their traditions and practices value what they have instead of taking things for granted as many do here.
He is involved in the typical traditions of US citizens
He probably has different bathing practices compared to most Americans, and has very rigid views when it comes to gender roles
a lot more traditional and different when it comes to making food. I think relationships with the opposite sex is treated a lot more serious than it is in this country. I think the work is more labor based in the other countries whereas in America it is more intellectual based
In East Africa the food is most likely prepared differently than ours. There also probably not as much of a focus on economical growth as it is in the US. Ngolo probably has adopted a few of the american viewpoints that has changed his traditional thoughts from his home country.
They probably grow up in patriarchal households, and have arranged marriages.
People from this country probably retain tribal beliefs related to their area. People from this country are not expected to wear deodorant often.
I think because of access to water they shower once a week. I think they are likely to eat whole foods rather than boxed or frozen dinners.
to honor themselves and others of the same culture, and to uphold the values passed down by past generations.
I am not sure what customs this person is used to. There are a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds that are possibilities.
The communities are more close-knit and practices like arranged marriage may be prevalent.
Various tribes that each have their own unique characteristic from the continent of Africa.
Most likely muslim traditions and customs, I sadly don't know the details
They have customs of gathering where they dance and play instruments they made. They have family traditions of eating and cooking together.
African traditions. Dance, customs, food, for example.
I honestly have no idea as I am not at all familiar with that culture and I have never personally known anyone from there.
Depending on the region of East Africa, it is probably a former French colony, so there are some tribal traditions, but many of the traditions are from the colonists who forced them on the Africans.
They like to walk and be outside. The are proud of their customs.
How family is important or how people spend time together and what comes first.
Probably similar to my own. Food, family and work are important.
the dance around a fire are forced to believe in one person and have no privliges
The food, holidays, and the way people are raised is all different
They are a lot less materialistic. They work hard and have a lot of family values.
I'm sure they have some traditional food dishes, dances and dress that they use in celebrations and times of sorrow.
People from this country in East Africa would likely eat different kinds of food and would engage in different religious practices. Also, there could be things that they do that could be seen as "wrong" or not moral by US-born citizens.
They are more prosocial, value cosanguinity and have more joie de vivre.
People are probably more friendly and committed to a community-style life where everyone contributes to their neighbors, he might not be used to the "every man for himself" mentality of some places in America.
I think people in East Africa have different food preferences and are more in tune with the natural world. I also think that they place value in different aspects of society.

Closer families. Living together longer. Ceremonial rituals. Large extended families
They probably dress a certain way and eat certain kinds of foods.
I have no idea how they do things or what they believe in east Africa
Christian/Catholic religion, eats different foods. Believes in marriage before sex. Belives in respecting elders, and working harder than the average american.
I bet they dont use the same standards in food safety. Also imagine women and equality are viewed diffetentkt6.
I think they dance a lot.they will eat lots of rice and spicy foods.they are happy people.
I would think they have some East African traditions I don't know what those would be and I don't feel comfortable guessing. I would think that he might be overly Christian though due to missionairies going throughout Africa but I'm not sure if East Africa is where they go.
They probably cook with a lot of spices, wear colorful and baggy clothing, and smell a tiny bit worse than us. They're traditional and put a lot of emphasis on family
I think they have traditonal african practices differnt food etc.
They gather around, make big meals, and eat together. They send money and take care of the older members of their families.
I think people where Ngolo comes from wore bright colored clothing and simple type of wraps.
I think people from East Africa value family and friends above all. They enjoy food, drink and conversation.
Religious and cultural traditions different than the average American is used to. Perhaps coming of age, and harvest rituals.
Ngolo believes in his own traditions and not america traditions. He probably has different religious views than us and family customs
They probably value multiple generations living in one home and prefer to cook at home instead of eating out.
People in Ngolo's country are probably friendly and helpful. They are problem community oriented and deeply religious.
I can't imagine it's all that different than anything we have. It depends if he lives in more of a city or a rural area, but even still, there are parallels here.
given the state of most african countries i'd assume women are treated as objects. not respected, not trusted with anything and if they're white, probably seen as a whore.
Christianity, unless he's from Somalia (Islam)
They are more energetic and kind to eachother. The dont worry about others and what they think. They are true to.themselvez
They would be traditionally islamic and would vary based upon region. They could be more tribal or completely accoustumed to city life though generally they would be considered on the poor end of the spectrum in the US.
Same type of clothing as Americans, eat rice, potatoes, meat.
They may have different celebrations according to their local calendar observing different holidays. They may also have different traditions around coming-to-age ceremonies for young people in the community.
I think they respect elder and eat with their hands. I think it is even a tradition to like somewhat like a minimalist.
I think people from Ngolo's country practice polygamy; they are ok with marrying more than one spouse. They eat food with their hands and no utensils. They probably are not big on hygiene and do not bathe every day.
perhaps people where Ngolo comes from follow rituals such as; singing dancing etc.
I have no idea, I would imagine it's similar to most. Religion, celebrations, traditions.
They worship false gods. They probably wear funny looking clothes.
very family oriented and possibly a different religious practice
I AM SURE THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT CULTURE, BUT SIMILAR IN MANY WAYS
I think their customs are a bit outdated and do not have the technology we have.
I think there is a tradition to treat women as lesser people. There is probably a tradition of arranged marriages.
His culture is probably quite conservative in dress and relationships. His culture is probably very centered on their religion.
they don't celebrate the same holidays, they don't have the same religion or the same customs
I think Ngolo's country celebrates similar important times in people's lives, they just have different ways of celebrating (like different food or music, maybe some special events that are like rites of passage).
With the very limited amount of information given to us in the story, I would think that he follows traditions like those of Kenya , Somolia, or Ethiopia. That is what I think of as East Africa.
He probably wishes good fortune among the people he runs into and his family members. He also probably says a blessing before eating his meals.
I think nothing about his traditions because I know nothing about them.
I have no idea. I imagine they have their own types of food.
Different family traditions, religious traditions and celebrations, just the way how he celebrates a birthday is different in some ways, cuisine is different.
I would assume the food and the manner in which it is cooked is different. I would assume hygiene habits are different and possibly lessened.
People there could worship different deities than us and have different traditions with things like marriage.
I thinkn the customs and traditions from East Africa may be more family and community-centered than American culture. There might also be a large degree of male-favored sexism in that culture.
It sounds like he values his traditions, which were probably based on family, religion, and society/culture
I imagine that they have more traditional values and daily customs that they follow in an almost religious way.
They probably dress much differently wear colorful cloth. They probably also are way more conservative and find our behaviors weird.
I believe that people from East Africa have different fashion choices; they wear more bright colors. Also, they a enjoy different genre of music.
I have no clue what customs people from East AFrica have. Im sure they have their unique way of living but i am very uninformed
I think they may see women as a second class I also think that the grew up poor and probably have poor hygene
they are definitely not the same, their traditions are a bit primitive compared to ours, but seeing them from your point of view, our traditions are strange to them
Well I lived in East Africa (PeaceCorps), so my answers probably aren't the typical american answers. But he probably eats a diet that is mostly rice with small amounts of meat and vegetables, bathes twice a day, and
People from East Africa are mainly muslim. Alot of those places dont have the rights as we do in the US so its alot different.
I would imagine that there are certain foods that are popular that they might prepare. There probably are local holidays/festivals that are celebrated, maybe around seasons or local religions.
He might be very careful with the preparation of his food. He probably respects his parents very much and has religious beliefs that are very strong.
I think he follows more Muslim traditions, and tribal ones.
It would probably be based in East African tradition but ultimately, most people are very similar to the way they are
eat africa people I dont have a clue of their customs maybe loyalty
I have no idea. Probably hunting lions and finding blood diamonds. Maybe Kwanza
I really couldn't tell you without knowing what country he is from and the predominant religion in that region.
I really don't know but I would guess they are probably Christian but very poor. They probably eat a meat and vegetable diet.
Religion probally has dances and rituals that are done and the food prepared uses different ingredients and meals eaten at certain times.
I'm sorry to say I don't know much about East African cultures. I would guess they practice different religions than the common religions in the U.S., eat different foods, and listen to different types of music.
I would assume that people from East Africa are more communal than individualistic.
I don't think I have enough information to generalize Ngolo's customs and traditions. All I know is where he is from and what he currently does; I have no authentic background information.
Very traditional beliefs of their culture whether it be holidays or traditions.
Possibly scarification or piercing traditions, coming-of-age traditions, arranged marriage
People that have a strong traditional and family bond that includes strong family ties to generations back.
His customer are probably very western because he is exposed to western culture on television. Social media and TV are making people more a like no matter where they live on the globe.
I imagine they are native, and they rely on the land to find food and to survive. They don't celebrate holidays that Americans do. They believe in a different God or Gods than we do, and therefore follow a different religion.
I think the place he comes from is backwards from American ways. Often people from these places have low opinions of women
I believe his traditions would be village/tribal. I believe they would be people focused and based on consensus.
I would venture to guess that their customs are somewhat different to Americans' in general. I would think they are probably more pastoral and care very much about raising their children with a whole village instead of a single family unit.
I guess whatever traditions they usually follow in East Africa that are different from ours, like maybe gender rolls, cleanliness, and hospitality towards others.
I imagine the food is different and possibly prepared differently. I also imagine it to be a third world country where people are not educated and taught to be open minded. Customs are probably very old traditional rituals that have not changed in centuries
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
He may be used to arranged marriages/relationships versus American dating. He also may think our relational practices are too liberal.
birthdays and weddings are family celebrations.
I suspect that their lifestyle is more "tribal" and that they probably come from a place where the customs are very ancient. I suspect they live closer to the land and have a tradition of farming and hunting for their own food. I suspect a lot of their entertainment and passtimes are more basic and involve simple association with other people through gatherings and traditional celebrations that involve making music and dancing.
Probably likes to celebrate different traditions and holidays at certain times of the year. He also will have a different view on dating and where men and women should or shouldn't be.
There may be a different prevailing religion, different dress, less industry around, less technological advancement, and less racial tension.
Probably less conservative, i mean they probably wait until marriage for sex, but they probably have different traditions when it comes to food, and festivals and holidays.
Food product and the way they are prepared, as well as music choice is a kind of custom that people follow in the country Ngolo comes from.
Much stronger family traditions including generations of a family living together. Traditions surrounding cooking and eating are much different, using different prepartion methods and ingredients.
I would think that they follow more traditions of storytelling dealing with their ancestors and fables.
I suppose they would be very basic and not similar to ours at all. They would have much less technology so they would be much far behind in most things.
Strong religious practices , and hunting rituals.
they has different food likes, religion, and way they are raised
If this was a Christian country like Ethiopia, then at least some traditions are similar
What to eat, and certain aspects of language skills
I don't know much about East Africa, but I know African people generally have vastly different religions and food preferences than Americans.
I imagine men tend to have a more dominat role in society and women somewhat servient. They do likely eat a variety of food that we do not in the US.
He probably had a strong local community. Perhaps they shared feasts, work, etc. People probably marry young. Storytelling may be important.
He cooks differently and he has different religions.
Specific types of tribal dances. The language is different and the types of music and food are different.
I think that they dress a little different and probably prefer different types of food.
Probably religious traditions. I imagine they also have strict family customs.
no idea but im sure its more family centered
I'm not really sure, other than they are different than Americans'. Maybe he wears a different type of clothing and eats different food. He probably celebrates different holidays too.
They follow another God, eat with their hands and are not hygenic
They have a different religion and different ways of keeping house and eating
They may have arranged marriages. They might have different religious views.
they have a lot of ritual. they likely do not have many electronics
I think he is from a culture where women are not respected as equals.
I think they mostly eat grains with rice or bread and chicken and beef rather than pork because of the slight islamic culture influence
I couldn't guess, they all have such different cultures between each tribe.
I am not sure of any customs or traditions that govern the manners of life in East Africa, so I am not sure how to guess them here properly, perhaps they eat on the ground and do not take showers standing up.
I think he would be opposed to social aspects of US culture. Perhaps think the US is less welcoming and friendly.
I have no idea as to the traditions and customs from East Africa. If I had to guess I would think that they revolve around spending time with family and praying.
He would value family and work above all else and stick to traditions instead of thinking freely and adopting new values.
I dont know what kind of customs or traditions they follow.
I would imagine their food tastes, clothing, religion and language might be a bit different.
Rather conservative and observing their cultures
No idea as East Africa is a very large place and there are a variety of different cultures.
They are very tribe and family oriented. They believe in community and religion.
I think they would have close family traditions and african cultural interests.
I make the assumptions that food and clean water were not always available. Cars we not commenly owned. But still family and faith are likely very important
They have traditions that put people in tribes
I would think that the traditons of the tribes like marriage, etc. would need to be passed down to each generation.
I really have no idea, but if I were to venture a guess, I would say that there are tribal customs to which he adheres that might involve certain rituals. I do think there would be an emphasis placed on the family unit.
People in East Africa respect their elders and they hold ceremonies to honor them.
Probably put friends and family first. Probably traditionally hard working and don't complain much.
I have no clue what Eastern African traditions are. I assume they may still be more tribal and wear certain garbs. Their social hierarchy and celebrations may different from the United States.
It's possible that they follow a certain tradition as to when they eat or what they eat, also the way that they dress.
They eat together with family, they work closely with family and they enjoy hardly any free time.
I think they love their families,cultures and traditions just like all folks.
I think they have pretty normal customs.
I think they have very ethnic food that they prepare and live in a predominantly patriarchal society.
Their tradition are different like their religion is different and so their food preperation is different to. They also dress different than ares.
I believe that you never provided me with a secret key at the end of the last time I took this survey!
I'm not really too sure about their practices. I know they don't have much internet locally and rely on mobile internet. They probably spend more time outside and not inside on computers and watching tv.
depending on where he lived which could either be a urban or small village he could have similar traditions some westerners.
He would feel more open to being outgoing maybe in a neighborhood setting in is own culture and want to socialize more.
Women from Ngolo's country are probably expected to stay home and take care of the house and children instead of joining the workforce.
Assuming that their culture is more socially linked, with stronger values placed on family. Food would be nearly completely different from what Americans eat. Depending on his wealth in Africa, he may have come in contact with high levels of technology, but to the best of my understanding culture and traditions there have not yet been completely taken over by technology and social media the way Americans have. Assuming that this would be a less capitalist, materialist society.
I don't really know what religion is prevalent there, but I suspect it may not be Christianity which seems to be the choice of the "moral majority" here in the U.S; I imagine men's clothing would be somewhat similar though women probably dress quite differently than most here with long dresses and possibly head coverings. They likely celebrate different holidays in dissimilar ways than we do; I would imagine the staples of their diet could be quite different or at least prepared in ways we do not generally.
I'd assume that he has very specific notions about the roles of gender, where men fill a hunter/protector role and women are still relegated to household duties. I'd also guess that he doesn't think much of a hedonistic western culture, probably finding it frivolous and shallow.
I believe they are deeply religious, with some odd religious beliefs about sex and different stuff. I would also guess that East Africa is very 'tribal'.
Most likely wearing traditional African garb along with eating dishes with bread and rice. Also listen to traditional African music and speak in native language with others.
I don't know a lot about East Africa, other than it is a big place. I know there are modern large cities, but there are also poverty stricken rural areas and remote villages, so it all really depends on where Ngolo came from specifically. If he was from a major city, he might not find life all that different, whereas if he lived in a more remote location, he might have come from a poorer background where more of his time and energy was focused around meeting basic needs like clean water, food, and shelter.
I believe his traditions and customs are deeply rooted, more strict, and less tolerant than ours.
I think Ngolo is from an Islamic country and he practices the traditions and customs that this type of country would have; including sharia law.
THEY FOLLOW AFRICAN TRADITIONS AND CUSTIO,S OF FARMWERS AOR GRAZERS OPF THE LAND i WOULD ASSUME AND ARE OLD CUSTOMS OF THEIOR COUNMTRY
The people there probably have traditional holidays, traditional foods, and traditional dress that are different from the one here in the United States.
I think they're traditions are that of being very family like with their neighbors and others like them and trying to supportunity.
I think he follows traditional customs such as those present in his country. I do not know much about East Africa
It might be more of a tribal matrilineal society. I imagine there would be smaller communities within the country.
They follow deep cultural and religious traditions
The kinds of traditions and customs he that people follow where he comes from are probably much more conservative and may be considered archaic compared to ours.
They might hunt and have arranged marriages
People from East Africa are generally tribal in nature, and like to practice some of their own traditions. Their basic morals and attitudes towards right and wrong are similar to ours in the United States. Although these people may have some difficulties in assimilating to our culture here in the US. the fact that they were willing to immigrate here shows that they already should have some level of acceptance of our culture and traditions.
they keep to themselves, they cook differently, religion is different. Their family values are stricter and different than ours
Probably come from partriarchal households, have arranged marriages
Customs and traditions in Ngolo's country would be very different from what is practised in the US
They probably have different religious beliefs where they may pray to a different God. They probably have different views on relationships, money and culture in general
He lives in Africa so they probably have native dishes he is used too, prayers practices, and holidays.
Ngolo follows the traditional customs he has grown up with in Africa. His language may be different than Americans.
I think they do a lot of religious and spirit acts that are totally different from the United States.
Perhaps different clothing is worn from where Ngolo is from and perhaps different food preferences and religion.
I have no idea and dont want to assume anything. Ngolo will be exposed and embrace certain aspects of American culture in due time and still be able to stay faithful to his home country.
He probably had customs that had the type of food eaten and how it was consumed. They way he dressed was probably a customer of where he came from
Their traditions and customs are probably based around family, religion and music. Their food is locally sourced and meals are prepared fresh.
I believe the culture there would be much more reserved.
They probably mostly speak Swahili, eat heavy grains, meat, milk, butter and bread or rice, they probably wear western clothing but still wear traditional garb sometimes
In Ngolo, people have deep respect for the elderly. The elders in Ngolo are responsible for most religious and social policy in Ngolo. In addition, people cook with a lot of spices in Ngolo. It is a type of cooking that is quite foreign to Americans. As far as religion, the people are highly religious and try to live moral lives without all of the permissiveness and openness about sexual matters that we find in the US.
I do not know anything about East African cultures, so I cannot make that determination. I would imagine that they are very family oriented.
People from Ngolo's country equate age with wisdom and have little tolerance for theft.
Since Ngolo is from eastern Africa, I would guess that he was raised Muslim and was taught its traditions.
I think the people in his country most likely strongly value family. They probably spend time together talking instead of watching TV or being on their phones.
THEY HAV EA DIFFERENT WAY OF LIVING AS FAR AS RELIGION. THEY VIEW CERTAIN THINGS MORE SCARED THAN HERE.
i think that marriage traditions may be different. But overall, people want the same things out of life.
Hygeine sex religion housing medicine holidays dress foods
East Africa has several well-developed urban areas in Nairobi and Addis Ababa which are quite modern. However, if he's from the rural area he's likely very clannish.
Depending on which country, but if it was something like Sudan or Ethiopia, I would imagine he would of had a life full of rich culture and traditions. I can't really pinpoint anything but I'm sure a lot of it would have been family oriented and a lot of activities would have been community based
I would assume that they are also very family based. However, I would expect their customs and traditions regarding how people treat each other would be different, although it isn't necessarily worse, just different. I would also expect their customs regarding the treatment of women to be less progressive than in the U.S.
They help spread the culture within united states and ngolo
Probably a bit more tribal(not in a bad/offensive way) in their culture with some belief in spirits. Their food is probably amazing. Their religion is probably conservative
I think the people he knew in East Africa practice traditions based on their resources. Where he our customs are shaped by our enviornment, back home those traditions are likely shaped by religion and different resources like technology.
I have no idea what the Eastern African traditions are.
I imagine that it is very traditional and largely dependent on the specific nation. There is an enormous amount of cultural variety in Africa - so it's really impossible to say.
The food may be spiced a little differently because of what is available. The music may rely more on drums because that is what is available but people still are pretty much the same no matter where they come from. They have birthdays, dances, and schooling.
Without knowing much about East Africa, I would have to say that it is a more religious society than the US. Perhaps more emphasis is placed on family ties in the community and in the workplace. There would probably be more trust placed in people based on personal relationships than there is in the US, where things are more structured and less personal. More food is probably prepared in the home in this nation, than in the Western world, where prepared foods are often purchased.
I have no idea, but I will imagine: I think they greet and treat each other differently, perhaps with more courtesy and respect. Perhaps paying for things is different, with more credit and bartering allowed.
Different cuisine, music, sports preferences (soccer). If he's Christian, it is likely practiced differently than in the US. More traditional views toward gender.
Men and women have separate, specified roles. Religion is taken seriously, and people are expected to help each other.
They have special dances and cultural activities.
I have no idea, but it would be related to religion, food, and social hierarchy
Religion is probably extremely important and dictates much of what they eat and do
His pace of life may have been slower. There was probably a difference goal to daily living
They have a different kind of living. They are poor. They eat different food. They don't use birth protection.
He comes from a tribal atmosphere where men are at the top of the food chain. He feels entitled because of his sex.
I imagine that he might have a somewhat different diet, and he probably has a unique taste in media (but who doesn't?). That's about it
I'm sure they follow a traditional patriarchal country where the man holds most the power
I imagine people from his country celebrate different holidays than we do. I also think many of their traditions that revolve around food are very different than ours.
I think where he comes from the culture may be more close-knit and based more on togetherness. So there may be traditions there to help those in the community to connect with one another.
Different types of food customs. Different societal standards
I really can't say for sure, I don't know much about the culture of east Africa. I imagine that family and community are more involved in finding a partner. I'm sure their traditions and rituals are completely different, maybe a bit more tribal in some way?
I don't really know what traditions and customs his country has. I would think he cooks with different spices than I am used to and he probably dresses with more flow-y clothes than American men.
I think the people in the country where he's from make very different food from the people in the US. They may also have traditions where the male is the lead of the family. School may not be as important to them.
I would think some of the clothing he wore in Africa would be different and his religious views would be different.
Colorful outfits. Lots of singing and dancing in his rituals. Spicy food.
I think he may come from a place that is tribal and values ancestors.
They might have their own family traditions that are passed down from generation to generation.
It would depend upon what country he comes from- some East African countries have a large Muslim populations, while other particularly those that faced European colonial governments are mostly Christian. In general there will be local foods, folk music, dancing, some kind of oral tradition or other story telling. But I would suggest that the legacies of colonialism left their mark on many Afican countries so there is an awareness of European/western life
You did not specify which country in East Africa. They are different, you know.
I wouldn't know because Ngolo has left his traditions in the past and adopted US traditions instead.
Ritual filled traditions and very religious..
I'm guessing it's a more traditional country with not a lot of diversity.
I think they value family and respect elders like people in the US. I think their daily lives and values are similar to Americans, family and morality.
No sex before marriage women are lower class
People are more less talkative and more old tradition. They are less likely to act like Americans.
Compared to western traditions, African society value the physical environment more.
Traditional shamanistic rituals, Christian or Muslim customs depending on area.
They wait to have sex until marriage and they don'teat meat.
I would think that the traditions there are much like our own, but with small cultural differences. Including things like food, relationships, finances, and etc. Although different, I still think it's rather the same.
I think people are probably a bit more religious where he's from. I think his customs might involve prayer and family.
I think people may have very different ways of living in the country Ngolo comes from. They probably eat different types of food than in America. They probably have very different customs than us.
It would depend on which country they are from. In general, they are probably very family oriented, hard working and religious (in whatever their religion is) They probably have strict customs surrounding food and celebrations. They may or may not be political but they are probably more conservative than liberal.
He would follow his religious practices, food choices and clothing choices as one from Africa.
I feel that they would cook differently than US born Americans. These customs may involve the way he or she prepares meals. This may mean either raw, cooked, or other
Tehy would have thier own food, the way they interract with otheres would be different and the way they respect the woman would be differnet
THEY MAY TALK DIFFRENT, THERE HYGENE IS DIFFRENT, THEY EAT DIFFRENT FOOD, THEIR CLOTHES ARE DIFFRENT.
Traditionally I think they are hunters, for food. I think they are more simple people who value traditions, and work hard.
I think the basics are the same although religion and comfort foods would probably be different.
Food, family and work are important. I don't know his religion.
They likely celebrate different types of holidays and may have different religious practices. The mostly likely have very different idea regarding gender norms. They also probably have different views and experiences regarding science and technology. Their health-related practices and customs are probably vastly different.
I honestly have no idea about their customs or traditions except that I'm sure they're different than ours
I think that they have their own religious customs, for instance some African countries believe in VooDoo. I think that they probably follow certain rituals with their foods also.
Family first, very religious, do not practice american customs. They only eat their foods, speak in their native tongue, and rarely come in contact with Americans.
He will have a vastly better diet, albeit maybenot enough, he may worship god or Gods in a different way
His religion probally has dances and rituals and is outdoors. His food has different ingredients than ours and meals are eaten at different times than us.
They live a much more simple lifestyle and are exposed to the outside world much less.
Less food sanitation practices; family traditions similar to those in the US
I think Ngolo comes from a country where families are close just like they are in America.
It is something that many people do, and have done for a long time.
I would guess that they are very family and relgiously oriented. They probably care a lot about preserving and caring for their communities.
I think Ngolo probably practiced a muslim religion in Eash Africa which isn't as heavily practiced in American. He probably likely has different cooking traditions as well.
I do not know. There's not enough information in the dialogue to determine the answer.
Cars, water and food are not the same, but family and faith remain important to people
Ngolo is probably used to seeing women not as prominent in society as it is in the USA, he is from East Africa, so there is a chance he possibly came from a Muslim country where many women would be covered up with a hijab or similar dress.
He probably is more focused on the customs of small communities with tribal influences, not exactly tribes themselves. He was most likely involved in a strict social hierarchy with a clear leader of the community who directs religious and social activities.
I believe that he would be living in a hunting society where they didn't go to grocery stores, didn't have the items for sale we have and more of a tribe-esque life
I honestly don't know. Maybe slightly more reserved?
They are likely from a different culture where instead of individual focused it is very collectivistic. Everyone looks out for each other and depends on each other to survive, so they all operate out of their neighborhood and sell each other food and clothing maybe.
Similar holiday and birthday celebrations, as well as religious customs.
I imagine that some of the holidays are different, I do not know much about East Africa to know for sure. There traditional way they dress would be different.
They might have different views on man woman relationships.
I'm not really sure. it's Africa and I'm not completley familiar with African traditions.
they dont mourn the dead they celebrate them and they practice arranged marriages.
I really can't say for sure. I feel like they may prefer different meals and they are different religiously, and probably speak another language. But other than that, I don't know.
I believe people were much more strict where Ngolo comes from. People have higher moral standards there and they're less likely to have random sex, have on a whim marriages, or behave immorally compared to the US.
Traditional way of greeting. The way of dressing might be more modest in his home country too.
they eat different food than we do and prepare it differently. They also value relationships differently
I don't know, but I'm sure they're just people.
I wouldnt think they are very old world and afro-asiatic in origin but would fit within the variety we hae here in the US.
I think they are most likely very self-sufficient, courteous, and believe in the sanctity of marriage. They are probably quite frugal and don't take blessings of simple things like clean water, etc, for granted.
I feel like their traditions are very religious or spiritual based and more about the collective than the individual.
They are probably very religious but follow a completely different religioun than what is known in the US. Also their feelings about women and how they behave are very different. They are more traditional that women stay at home and obey the man.
Living in small towns with the same people and family. Most of your time would probably be spent on necessity like getting your water, growing your own food or helping build your neighbors house.
Like to walk to stores and enjoy the outdoors. Likes to stop and talk to people and visit.
I really have no idea but I'm sure they are unique.
I would think he is religious and may have different religious beliefs. His prayer may be different and holidays. His food he eats may be a different type of cuisine from American. He probably isn’t big into celebrities or tv
They would be African Christians who uses markets for work and food. Religion plays a major part of daily life.
Some people in Ngolo's country think eating bushmeat is okay and acceptable. Some people in Ngolo's country believe and rely on medicine men or witch doctors to cure their illness.
Very traditional roles that are native to his home country.
They may have different coming-of-age ceremonies for young people in their community.
I think he follows more rural customs. His country was not very modern. His traditions were probably not Christain. They have different kinds of music than Americans.
I think he might be used to different clothing as well as different kinds of food.
People most likely have a religious organization that might be christian (based on if they were colonized) or muslim. They probably celebrate birthdays and holidays based on their races history
The people from this country would not be as involved when it comes to education or furthering their knowledge. They would be more family oriented and about taking care of their loved ones in this country in Africa.
I believe they would have the same basic values such as family and work ethics. A bit more primitive, but still the same values.
Ngolo is probably Muslim, but there is nothing wrong with being Muslim as long as he is not a radical type. He eats different types of food and has different holiday traditions than European heritage Americans have.
I think Ngolo follows ancient traditions that have been passed down generating after generation from his ancestors.
I think people from Ngolo follow strict religious traditions and customs. I think they pray often, only eat kosher food, and only have sex after marriage.
They prac tice arranged marriages ad celebrate the dead not mourn them as us americans do.
I think some of the customs in his country are probably more family oriented than in America and I think they also have Christian customs in the country that he is from.
They believe in family above all and respect traditional values above all
They typically adhere more strictly to religious practices that are dominant within the society of their hom country. They also likely abstain from certain foods that are generally forbidden in their culture.
I don't know. It wasn't stated what country he is from. Based on the passage, the customs seem somewhat different from the U.S. Probably food, religion, values, practices, etc.
Probably canabalism. As well as some pegan religion.
I'm not sure what traditions and customs he would follow without knowing specifically where he came from. If he came from a super small village they could be wildly different if he came from a city they could be surprisingly similar.
I think they follow very different customs than the US.
I think that people from East Africa would be respectful of their elders. I think that they would also think that women should be submissive to men.
I am imagining customs that rely more on traditional values as opposed to more mainstream values.
His traditions and celebrations will be different. He will have a different view on women and relationships and their place in the workforce.
I think they follow most of the same traditions and customs, but not one hundred percent. I think that most of the cultural differences would be smalls like how they eat food, or the holidays they celebrate.
I don't know much of anything about the customers from his country or which specific area/country he is from. I can only infer from the description that he wishes he were surrounded by others who shared all of his customs/values/beliefs.
Tradition might be that women cook and clean in the home while the men work and don't do house chores. Customs might involve going out to cafe and drink coffee.
They probably eat different types of foods
I honestly would not know to be honest. I don't keep up with other peoples traditions that are outside of America so it would be hard to tell honestly. I just know the general stuff about other certain countries.
I don't know anything about African traditions.
I they they follow traditions closely associated with family, I believe they value multi-generational living. Also I believe that their customs include appreciating nature, and this is due to me reading about Nglolo going on walks with his immigrant friends.
I think that people that come from where Ngolo comes from have very strong family values, unlike a lot of us in the USA&gt;
I imagine that he might have a somewhat different diet, but that's really it. Everything else is quite similar
They live in huts, don't raise food and have sex with the animals that they live like.
I'm treating him as a Kenyan (Christian and English-speaking)
I think they would have religious beliefs and cultural beliefs that would be different. They would probably enjoy different foods, types of entertainment and music, and would likely celebrate personal and life events in different ways than typical Americans.
I am envisioning him as coming from Somalia, so he is probably used to a clannish family and societal structure. The men will likely be used to sitting around half the day talking and chewing on chemically active plants, and everyone will be Muslim.
In my imagination, I would say that people from Ngolo's area are more traditional or have means that are based in doing things in a traditional method and not necessarily with the technology that we have in America today. Whether that means it is old fashioned or just doing without convenience, I would say that these people are not practicing life in the same manner that we are in America in any way, shape, or form.
I truly dont know and find no need to speculate.
I believe people from East Africa follow different traditions and customs. Their traditions may be that his parents get to pick his wife, or traditions that may allow him to have multiple wives.
Very colorful outfits and a lot dancing in his rtiuals.
I think their clothing, food taste, religion and language might be a bit different, but similar, too.
I expect he has different views on religion. He probably also has different opinions about some moral issues such as homosexuality.
They probably have religious beliefs much like most people in the world, but they may be celebrated in a different way
They speak different languages, wear different clothing, have different religions, celebrate different holidays
Honestly I have no idea but they're probably not centered on capitalism and consuming random products like our traditions and customs.
Dancing in circles or some ritual like that.
I believe that family is fairly important and that they are just trying to make a living and taking it one day at a time. They have meal times and find someone to love just like anywhere else.
I am not familiar with the traditions and customs of Ngolo's home country but I am sure that his religious practices are different and his views on types of family customs.
Ngolo has a different way of seeing life.
I believe they would have certain food preferences/diets that they follow.
He might be a Muslim, which is different than most Christians in the US.He might not be familiar with freedom that the US has to offer, ie supermarkets or department stores, and might stick to local merchants from East Africa
I think people form East Africa follow traditions that are quite different from Americans and have customs that would be hard for most Americans to understand.
Ngolo probably celebrates different traditional holidays than we do in the US. Ngolo may have different rules for relationships, dating and marriage
people are family oriented and show respect for others
Different eating and cooking customs. Not leaving any food on the table. Formal speech and customs.
He left his past life behind and adopted us traditions
I think that in the country where Ngolo comes from, their people keep one of numerous religions and their associated traditions. I would expect how people are expected to act is different than that of the U.S.
Coming of age type ceromonies for both boys and girls and perhaps ceremonies that test mental and physical strength.
The traditions and customs in the country where Ngolo comes from are very different from those in the United States.
I think that those from the country that Ngolo comes from mainly operate different in regards to food and possible attention to detail/cleanliness.
I feel like their traditions are more centered around family and non-electronic communication. They likely gather together to celebrate in various ways like dancing, singing, eating.
They probably eat on the floor, They also have different religions over there.
They are probably more conservative and very family oriented.
I don't think women have as much as a voice where he is from. I also believe that our government is probably set up different than his home country.
Food is different, religion is different, and basically everything. Language, too.
maybe traditional dance practices, different religions, different food
He probably lived in a village in a shanty with a mud floor. His family somehow found happiness in destitute surroundings due to their close proximity to one another and the lack of availability to of technology used to fatigue and divide people. Although they were poor, and could not see much of a way out of their situation, they strongly believed their god was fair and just and this was the life they were meant to live. Except Ngolo, who wanted more.
He has differenent tradition in eating and socializing. I'm not sure the exact details but he misses these traditions.
They would have beautiful ceremonies and rituals for achievements and lifes moments unlike Americans, we do not have much culture.
they probably practice a different religion than people in the US who are predominantly christian or catholic.
I think that people who come from east africa are more religious and are less materialistic. I think that they focus a lot more on the experience and the present, not like how americans focus on the future and time. I think that he probably has multiple religious practices that he follows.
I think that the people living in East Africa would had traditions where they eat food with a lot of herbs and spices. I also think that some East Africa has traditions that follow the Islamic religion.
It seems like he comes from a comparatively primitive country that uses a more traditional approach to life that what we are accustomed to here in the US.
they probably wear traditional african garb and speak different languages
I think their religious traditions would mostly be different. He seems to have a lot of opinions and ideas similar to americans.
It would completely depend on which region he came from other whether he was from a rural or urban area what kind of traditions and customs he might have. The passage didn't offer any clues like that. He most likely eats a different variety of fresh produce and meat. Depending on his religion he is likely a lot more traditional when it comes to family customs.
as an east african country i assume ngolo prescribes to some polytheistic religion or some sect of monotheistic. probably eats a lot of food most westerners would not know of.
I would think it would family based and hard work within a corrupt government.
I am not sure, but I assume they are more primitive than Americans.
The traditions and customs might be somewhat similar, although the style of cuisine is different. The people are unlikely to shower with hot water every single day.
I honestly don't know. I assume things are different, but I can't really say how as I don't really know anything about East African culture.
They probably had different religion and customs. They probably treated women differently.
I imagine the people from the country Ngolo comes from are more conservative and more religious.
i think they come from a land that is not wasteful at all and probably eats a lot of seafood
I think that people celebrate different religious holidays in East Africa. I think they also are not mandated to the same standards that we have status wise based on the same things we do here in the USA.
I would guess their hygiene isn't as good. I think they probably believe another religion besides christianity.
They are probably a lot like ours only done in their own way. They have their religion, beliefs and cleanliness habits or he wouldn't have made it here.
They are very religiously motivated and possess ideals that are centered arounds family and heritage.
He does everything he can to live by the traditions and customs that he was raised with in Africa, even if this means that he has to reject the traditions and customs of Americans.
religious traditions such as dance, rituals and ceremonies, music and socializing are the traditions and cultures that Ngolo follows.
People from East Africa are more likely to follow the religion of Islam and be Muslim as opposed to Christian. This would lead to their society having much different religious and social rules and regulations than ours as Americans.
Eat different foods. Dress differently. Treat women as less than equal.
They are probably very family oriented and have celebrations with drums in a village. They probably follow strict religious practices.
It really did not say, so it is hard to answer. I assume that he has different food that he likes to eat, and probably his religion is important as well. And he may not treat people who are different from him as equals - but, more info is needed to be sure.
Religion and the types of food they eat are different.
I've honestly no idea. In Ethiopia coffee ceremonies are a big deal, as well as ceremonial dinners with injera.
I imagine in East Africa they may have different religious beliefs. They may cook food a bit differently. However, all in all, I think they have the same sort of moral wrong and rights as us.
I'm not sure of any African traditions, but I'd be willing to bet their rather different than ours.
They eat certain kinds of foods, they pray at certain times of the day, wear certain clothes and celebrate death.
Not knowing the exact country, it is hard for to think of what customs and tradition may be common there, especially since "customs and traditions" could be a very broad topic.
Similar customs like other immigrants from other countries.
I think they are likely very familiy-oriented with many generations of one family living in one household. I think people from his country likely have a more conservative outlook on how people should behave and dress in public.
I think he eats certain types of food only and wears traditional clothes that he would wear in his home country.
I believe East Africa is generally poor and there is a lot of violence there. I fell stereotypical answering this question, I think women are not treated well, their lives and traditions are more primitive than ours. I imagine they do have some similar customs, but they do a lot of manual labor and aren't material like us here.
Dancing around a camp fire with music could be a tradition as well as wearing bright clothing.
I think that they all have their own traditions. I'm not exactly sure of traditions specific to East Africa. Possible religion and food customs?
They may practice circumcision, as the Kikuyu do. Maybe they are cattle herders, like the Masaai?
They are more focused on religion and behave in a more conservative way.
They probably follow very traditional traditions compared to what we see here in the U.S . They probably have different views on marriage and family and life in general.
gosh I have no choice but to guess. I suppose poverty, showers once a week, poor water, limited food. They probably follow the Catholic faith since I believe the Catholic spread that toxicity over impoverished countries. Honestly this question is absurd because I have no idea so this is just my guess... frustrating being asked a question I cant factually answer
I would think that Ngolo was raised up seeing a lot of poverty and also lots of hardships in forming a living financially.
I'm not sure exactly what kind of traditions and customs Ngolo would practice. He likely prepares food differently and has religious practices not typical in the US.
He might have some tribal affiliations. Possibly a tribal elder. There might be a rite of passage he had to go through. It might be quite interesting to find out exactly what his background is.
They probably eat different food and have different views on women and such.
Ancient customs and practices that were passed down from generations.
I think they are very strict in their customs and follow religious values.
I think they are oriented towards their extended families and eat strongly spiced foods.
They have a more communal lifestyle, where families are less well defined. They practice female genital mutilation.
I'm not sure since the article didn't specify. But the fact that it says that he would reject customs from the US is what I'm going off of. I'm assuming customs would be head of household thoughts, gender roles, etc.
They probably mostly eat a plant based diet and try not to poke their noses in other people's business.
I think people from Ngolo's country dress in more colorful clothing, eat completely different foods, and speak at least two languages.
I think they probably have big families and are loud and rowdy.
To be honest, I do not know what kind of traditions or customs that are followed in East Africa. But what I don't understand is why Ngolo would want to live in the united states if he prefers the customs and traditions of East Africa. Why wouldn't he just live there?
They might have arranged marriages and women are not as important as men.
I'm sure they are just like everybody else , they may have a different religion but we all share the same aspects of humanity.
I honestly have no idea. I do feel like it is a world away and would be very different.
I think they are probably close to their other family members or people in their village. They will also dress in a much simplier form and eat less complex meals compared to people from the US.
Religious prayer, and eat food different from us tradition.
People from his country probably hunt for their food. School is also probably not as important as it is here.
They follow African traditions.They culture is exotic
He would likely follow Christian or Islamic religions traditions and customs as the religions are dominant there
Regular religious practices of worship, a good deal of cooking from scratch, and walking instead of taking a vehicle often.
They take pride in being able to draw resources from the land in which they inhabit. They are not wasteful, have few material possessions, and have a religion that praises more than one entity (or god).
probably the tradition of the man is the head of the family and makes all decisions for the family and individuals of the family
I think he probably places more emphasis on prayer and family than we tend to do in the US.
He may be a Muslim in which those customs are prevalent.
They have different foods. They also celebrate holidays differently.
It would be completely different from the U.S.
I believe that people from Ngolo's culture have a collectivist approach rather than an individualist approach that the United States has. They probably share their most intimate an important times together while eating.
They probably have less commercial traditions than we do. They probably have more religious traditions than we do
Well, I assume they treat women worse than we do in western countries, are more religious, treat animals worse, and tolerate more violence than we do.
They probably pray in certain ways different from Americans. They eat and prepare different foods on special occassions.
Probably different views on things when it comes to relationships and the working climate compared to the US
They are more traditional such as wearing traditional clothing to work.
People hold superstitious beliefs, they're not as open with public displays of emotion, different social structures compared to the US.
They are probably very close to their family members, keep traditions eat differently
People from Ngolo's country may have many superstitious rituals they perform. They have unique holidays and festivals as well.
Some traditions and customs would be how they prepare a native dish and how they conduct themselves to the public on a daily basis.
I think Ngolo probably comes from a custom of men having multiple wives and where men hold positions of power.
I think that people like Ngolo experience different traditions and customs than that of the US people. For example, he may not be able to pick his own wife, or he may be allowed to have multiple wives.
they probably have bigger families and more children, food is not like ours, religious beliefs are different
They may have different cuisine. They may also observe different dating rituals.
Food is different and the type of clothing they wear
I would imagine that his lifestyle back in east Africa was much more tribal. Ritual and communal activities would be much more commonplace than individualistic endeavours.
It's hard to say without knowing where he's from. They'd probably be based less on consumer/material interests, just because everything here seems to be extremely about that but even that is just me guessing.
There is more concentration on the family unit and community where you rely on each other.
They probably have there own customs like the way they cook and what they celebrate
the tradition of honouring nature like native american
I think his country is more tribal than here in the US, and people stay with their families much more and don't go off on their own.
They follow polygamous and less free democratic traditions
I would think there are likely more conservative and tribal customs. Marrying at a young age. Families all living and working together. Being very spiritual/religious.
It's such a vague question. I have no idea what types of traditions and customs that Ngolo practiced and followed. I am sure his list of wants and needs was fairly similar, in a lot of ways, to mine, but beyond that....
Different practices and work ethics as well as religion practices
I believe it is possible that a lot of Ngolo's customs are related to the traditions passed down from tribal people in Africa as well as overall city culture. I think he probably seeks to be safe, secure, fed, and fulfilled much like anyone else along with some preferences for things that make him nostalgic and feel comfortable.
The people in East Africa likely have different foods, holidays, beliefs and traditions compared to Americans.
Likely, less stringent and specific in terms of health and care. More focus on traditional living in the sense of tradition and customs, so less eclectic, more uniform in terms of religion, beliefs, morality and so on.
They might hunt for food and stay true to their traditions
East Africans probably dress in regular clothing, eat a plant based diet, might be conservative in terms of relationships with women.
I'm not really certain but I'd imagine they have their own religious ideals that they carry out in their life, and they have their own culture holidays and festivals that are quite different from those of western culture.
I believe they have a tribal lifestyle where men and women have their separate duties.
Some East African countries are influenced by Islamic traditions. Their diet is different. I think they stay away from pork. Their clothing is a mixture of western attire and their own style.
muchly the same as US just for different reasons. im sure they prey, just to a different god, sure they celebrate, just different holidays
I have absolutely no idea. I haven't made a study of the customs of random East African nations. I don't think I could even name an East African nation off the top of my head.
they probably have similar food customs and dancing
They would have different foods. They would probably also come from either a strength based culture or shame based culture.
I can only guess at what kinds of traditions people from East Africa practice. I can assume they value family and religion just as most Americans do. They probably celebrate holidays and events.
I don’t know the customs of east Africa at all, but I imagine there’s are some significant differences as well as some similarities with those in the US.
Seasonal and social practices. Even eating practices.
I think they are different but very similar as well. They may eat different foods but theuy likely enjoy family and celebrations.
I have absolutely no idea. I have not studies this area.
I think they probably eat very different food than people in the US. I think they are probably closer to their families than people in the US.
His religious habits are quite different from the average American. This, I think, would be one of the biggest differences.
He most likely has different living customs and food traditions.
It's very difficult to say since I have not studied those cultures. I would imagine he has different gender and cultural values.
I would guess that for one, their hygiene probably isn't great, they probably have pre-arranged marriages and celebrate different holidays than we do.
Very family oriented with a strong connection to neighbors, most likely they are hard working but not an early adopter of technology.
They probably have a certain diet and way of practicing religion that is different from people in the US. Maybe they practice sacrifices or something.
They are likely a collectivist society. They probably share their intimate moments over eating.
Probably more social traditions. I think Ngolo was in a more close knit community where there was more day to day interaction with people he knew.
I think the traditions are very similar to the traditions of the United States.
I have no idea I am not from there and no nothing about traditions and customs. I honestly don't pay much attention to the ones in this country, as most of them are ridiculous.
Ngolo comes from a country which is different from our country US, the food habits, dressing, sexual things are all differ from us.
Honestly, I really don't know. I would assume patriarchal, and some kind of religion and/or religious dress is probably involved.
I believe that they have older traditions and what's of doing things that date back before the 19th century and are considered out dated.
They don't eat as much food. THey don't listen to the same music.
People from a country like those of Ngolo would probably have different religious and dietary customs as opposed to those in America. People from this country would also behave differently but not necessarily in a bad way.
Similar in that they love to spend time together in groups and laugh together while music is played. They would be different in the types of clothing they wear and foods they eat.
I would imagine life in East Africa is much more tribal than here. Emphasis on ritual and communal activities would be views as much more important.
They are probably opposite of the values here in America. They probably also have heavy religion and ethics involved as well.
Some custom and tradition would be how they prepare their native dish and how they conduct themselves when they go out in public.
He probably likes flexibility and does not like to follow a schedule the way Americans do. He probably likes to think more about the present and the past, instead of planning for the future. He probably is less talkative than most Americans. He probably follows the tradition of eating with the right hand.
I think they have different traditions in for example the way they cook things, and the things they eat.
Islamic traditions, male domination, religious intolerance, harsh discipline and integration of church and state.
I would think they have communal living, a barter system, they may have a tribal religion, not really christian.
I believe his traditions are very much adapted to American life as he has tried to assimilate into the country. He has embraced the customs and values in order to feel more comfortable in his new land with regard to preferences and overall behavior.
I think they are mostly the same. I really don't think it is that different from the US. I think traditions are mostly meaningless.
More conservative roles within a tiny community where activities and customs are outdated.
He probably wears traditional African clothes and prays a lot.
family traditions like maybe wardrobe ot certain foods and belief systems
Typically, very different religious and cultural traditions and practices.
I think that in Africa, the people have strong family values and are hard working, just as Americans here are. The way I think they differ is that they typically only associate with those of their own nationality, which I feel is negative and results in a lack of understanding of other cultures. There may be some differences such as language, food and religion. But overall, they are not so different.
He follows the muslim tradition and religion.
They might value traditional marriage or be matrilineal, wear hand made clothes and live a more quiet life.
They follow traditions like whatever their religion teaches and what they learn from their elders
Headdrsses for woman. Family and good food.
The region may be known for agriculture. I imagine it being an impoverished region.
I honestly do not have even the slightest guess. He probably eats and likes different foods I am guessing.
I don't know if he is from a city or a rural area, but I assume he is Christian, used to living in a community, going to school, doing lots of normal things but on a less developed scale.
I think they are very religious and rely very heavily on traditions and customs
They probably have different religions and dress differently
I believe they have more traditions related to family and coming of age. I also would think that they have certain foods and ceremonies for those foods.
I honestly don't know what customs they follow there. Maybe less amenities compared to what we have in the States.
I'm not sure, but maybe they don't have running water and Ngolo has to go get it himself. Maybe they don't have the world wide web, and he has to access it at a government building.
I believe that someone from this country would be difficult to befriend because they would believe that Americans are the enemy. I think they would believe that women are not allowed to do anything without a man's permission.
They are more focus on their goals and know the value of money better than most Americans.
They probably follow traditions from Africa such as being very open around others and respect for elders
The customs and traditions are as diverse as the countries and regions that comprise East Africa yet there is a commonality among these groups due to a shared history. Islam is widely practiced in especially along the coast and in the north along with other religions such Christianity. I met a young woman living from Ethopia who emigrated to this country and she discussed the strict moral code for women in her country and the shame and punishments placed on women if they did anything to disgace their families. I would suppose that would have been the norm for most individuals but not the wealthiest or most powerful. In East Africa, there are areas that might have extreme poverty contrasted by the wealth of a minority.
Probably traditions and customs that are more orthodox. Like their views on marriage and social life is a little bit more traditional.
Really not sure, the article didn't mention that... I'm sure they value their history, great leaders. they respect their elders, etc.
In general, I would imagine that Ngolo's country has very strong extended family units.
Fresher food, sex equality is different with relgion being similar but not as free.
I"m sure they dress a certain way and have a different religion than Christianity, which was America's founding religion. Perhaps he is a Muslim, or practices some other form. He may not eat certain things due to his religious beliefs.
I would guess that family is the center of traditions and customs as well as food.
I had no thoughts about it. If he lived in a rural area the pace of life and complexity would be less and probably greater importance placed on community.
I am not exactly sure, but I feel like people from Ngolo's country probably don't eat the way that we do in America, so probably not as much fried food. Also, they probably treat their neighbors and strangers differently than we do here in America, probably more friendly.
East African traditions and customs are probably more conservative and believe that men are more dominant. The man would be the one who would be working and is in charge of the family and the woman would be responsible for the cooking, cleaning and taking care of the kids.
They probably have typical African traditions. My guess would be things to do with hunting, farming and fishing.
They live very basically, and are not used to all of the technology and culture and customs of the US. They probably do more things by hand than the average american.
Not sure but i can say they are not the same as americans
People in the country where Ngolo comes from are different in their way of life. For example, they are more likely to know each other and relationships are more valued. Also, they have different ways of eating and preparing foods.
I am sure Ngolo is very similar at the core to people in the US. He may believe in a different religion and eat different food, but he is probably very similar if he would get to know the US people.
Hard to say as I am not familiar with the traditions of people in eastern Africa.
They treat women as subserviant and disagree with homosexuality. They eat different foods and aren't trained in any professions. They wear conservative clothing.
Ngolo follows the traditions of his country, the traditions he grew up learning.
I think women tend to be subordinates, and men are more dominant.
I'm really not sure. Perhaps they have more traditional customs. I'm sure their diet is much better (healthier) than our western diet.
I know little of Africa. I must guess: there might or might not be Christianity; withchcraft might be practiced, or feared; homosexual activity is probably detested.
Perhaps there are more extended family traditions, such as having your entire extended family living together. Dance also seems more popular in African countries in celebrations and the like.
I would assume his traditions would be more religious and tribal in nature.
They may get up early in the morning and go to sleep early due to not using artificial lights and they may have a diet that is not nutritious.
I think that they might have some different holidays, but I think values are similar to ours in the us.
Ngolo might be Christian or Muslim and would follow similar practices to those practicing those religions in the US. I assume he would eat different food than standard American food, probably with different spice mixtures depending on where he is from.
The men are leaders/responsible for the welfare of the community, while the women are responsible for chores and tending to the men; having many children is considered ideal; they eat foods that can be mashed up into a paste; religion is important but is more like Mythology than Christianity.
they follow east African tribal culture and traditions.
They dress modestly. They prefer homemade food over fast food.
They follow the rules and are respectful and just want a better lifestyle.
THey probably were colorful clothes. I would imagine that church is very important to them as well. Their food is probably ethnic as well.
They probably have traditions that celebrate life through the lens of African dances and Gods.
I think their clothing would be more colorful and lightweight due to the hot sun. They raise their families with love and hope, just like we do. They work and provide for the families the best they can, as we do. They have hopes and dreams for a better life and some have the opportunity to do something about it. They have their heroes and their politics and just try to get by, day by day.
They sometimes slaughter their own food. Eat bread in a different form.
I believe they follow certain food customs where Ngolo comes from, and I believe that they have different ceremonies that depict their traditions.
Their country is probably a little bit more traditional. Like in terms of ideology on sex and marriage, it is probably more traditional.
I think they have very different traditions than we do, but that doesn't mean they are wrong. They most likely have religious practices that are different. I would think their food preparation is different, although I don't have an example. The family is probably closer together than Americans.
They practice their religion and cook their food and live their life like any other human.
I believe that people from East Africa are traditional family orientated people who respect those around them
They dress differently and they eat different types of views. They might believe in different religions.
I don't know. I guess they eat different food.
I would venture to guess that people from Ngolo's country value family and cultural traditions very much, more so possibly, than people born in the U.S. I suspect also that Ngolo is very loyal to his friends and a hard worker.
I believe that East African natives have very different traditions and customs than America, they probably put less value on material items than we do.
Ngolo leads simple life where they all help each other and they all live in a very close community settings.
A segregated custom where they only appreciate people of their skin colour
In Ngolo's home country they likely have very different food preparations. The religious practices of Ngolo's home country are likely very different.
I honestly don't know and would be hesitant to guess, as it would be presumptuous.
sex after marriage and traditional rituals to thank the ancestors.
HE probably puts much stock into the belief of a God. He more than likely finds family to be as welcoming as anyone else.
I think they eat traditional foods, only marry other Ngolol people and do not believe in western education.
I believe that he adopts some of his local tranditions in his life that reflects what kind of clothing he wears like African style clothing. I believe he might still eat African themed food and American food too.
I imagine them as being very religious and wearing brightly colored garbs.
I am quite ignorant of African traditions, but I feel like dancing around a fireplace while making strange sounds could possibly be one of his traditions from where he is from.
They probably do not support pre-marital sex or abortion. They are expected to touch the feet of their elders as a sign of respect.
I'm not familiar with the traditions of East Africa, but i magine they're a miz of African and Western traditions, since English is taught in many other countries, and we export goods to East Africa.
I'd say very old world & very conservative.
People from Ngolo's country probably practice a different religion and celebrate different holidays. They may also indulge less of their money on material objects.
I have no idea about East African customs. Perhaps marriage at a certain age. People take care of their parent.
Holidays and tradition celebrating their own culture and traditions.
I do not have an opinion on that. Some of the questions I cannot answer because it assumes that people from East Africa are not at all alike to people living in the US.
Very similar to Americans. I imagine he came from an academic setting.
I think in his home country people are more familial and conservative They are proper and keep to themselves if they can help it. They're not a liberal for sure.
very likely to follow islam. Hygiene practices would be vastly different from normal in America. Traditions likely to include hate/racism of whites taught from a young age.
He likely has very traditional beliefs about men's and women's roles in society and in the family.
I guess it depends on where in his country he came from. If he lived in a well-to-do part of his country, I assume his custums are similar to ours.
They follow their own societal rules and traditions, unique to them and cherished. Some rules and traditions will be similar to those in he US such as religious observances while some may be very different such as in food preparation.
They way they view the family heirarchy for one. An the way they view white people.
They probably follow traditions that are very different from people who grow up and were born in the United States. They probably have different religions, eat different food, and view the world a little differently.
Most of the people from that region are Muslim, so they have similar beliefs about God, but different scriptures, life teachings, and some morals are different.
he might not celebrate the same holidays or have the same diet as someone who was born in the US
I can't say for sure because I don't know where exactly this man comes from. I would suggest that perhaps his customs are different than those who were raised in the USA though
I don't know. I am only assumng here since I don't know which specific country he comes from, I imagine his family life would be similar to our own but maybe his religious and cultural practices or beliefs are different. He may have a different religion and maybe different beliefs about female circumcision or young marriage etc...
I'm sure many of their traditions revolve around making the best out of being poor and having little technology.
He probably eats certain foods and goes to certain religious ceremonies.
Maybe they value family and community more in East Africa.
They tend to mimic the social norms practiced in East Africa. The scenario present made it clear that those norms were very different than those practiced here.
They have their own unique food items, celebrate different holidays and their religious practices are somewhat different.
I really am not an expert on East African, but for him to feel so out of place in day to day life I imagine they are a bit more "foreign" than the standard American diversity. Melting pot and all that, I really don't know what is even normal for America so yeah, I just have no idea.
Traditional African religious views and food customs
I think people there don't value family and freedoms like we do.
The traditions and customs are probably more conservative where men are more dominant. The men would be the one who goes to work to provide for the family. The woman/girls would be responsible for taking care of the home like cooking, cleaning, and caring for the kids.
In general, I think people from the East African country Ngolo comes from live in close-knit communities with a lot of emphasis on the family unit.
I think they have similar values as us. I do think they have different holidays then us.
I think they are strict about dating and sex. I also believe the diet and what they eat are different as well.
I think they follow traditions and customs that have similar values to ours (don't kill, don't steal, etc) but expressed differently and on different days and with different foods.
I think that the people of his country follow traditions and customs that are more conservative than those in the United States.
Since they weren't actually listed in the original story, I can only make broad generalizations since different regions in East Africa are somewhat different from each other in beliefs and customs. He probably celebrates Kwanzaa as well as other culturally significant holidays, I don't have any idea if he has a specific religion or if his diet is limited by that possible religion. He probably enjoys being around his family during special holidays and enjoys his family and celebrating whatever holidays he observed while growing-up. There's probably some dancing involved as well as some kind of music during their celebrations.
in that country i would think they value family and communities, sharing and taking care of each other to make sure everyone is ok.
They pray daily every morning. They dance to show gratitude to their Gods for good good harvests.
I don't know a lot about East Africa. I know from people I do know that tribalism is extremely important, and people tend to associate with their tribe and not others. There are also a lot of people that Americans would call "superstitious," having many ritual practices or beliefs related to cause and effect we would challenge. On the other hand, the average emigre is more educated, so who knows about that.
They most likely participate in traditions such as special holidays and religous traditions that are different or non existant in the US.
Having there family be close to them in every important factor of everyday life. Also religion being on the up front.
it's hard to say with limited information, but I would think they are different from someone growing up in the USA
I think they have there own holidays and ways of celebrating them. They probably have certain foods they eat at certian times of the year.
They eat traditional African foods, participate in African dances, and worship multiple gods.
Women are suppressed, he eats goats and slaughters them in his yard, he expects to be treated like a King even though he has no education or skills, and he has no loyalty to the US and sees welfare as free money for nothing and thinks the US is foolish for giving it to him.
Try to make their life much easier than ever before. Perhaps just sing and dance.
Ngolo is likely muslim and eat curried meats served on flatbread. He may be used to customs that involve prayer rituals and tribe-specific customs.
A very tight knit community and group living experience
I would assume that the customs would be more related to the wildlife then the U.S. I may be ignorant, but many photos I see are of the africans outside, so I would guess that their customs and traditions probably have to do more with nature then US traditions do.
They are very family oriented and hard working.
He is someone who is trying to fit in. He wants to be the man in society.
I think his traditions are likely a mix of Catholic and Christian values instilled by missionaries and local beliefs. He probably enjoys the food flavors of East Africa, yams and lots of butter, and may have some slight Islamic preferences, such as not wanting to eat pork.
Dating and sex are different in East Africa. I believe also the diet and foods.
Maybe something with a bunch of people singing and playing drums.
I assume they have different religious and social/family traditions in name and appearance, but they are probably quite similar in that they center on worshiping God, large meals, thankfulness, family, etc.
i would think they are much more religious.
They are probably used to living off of the land and not modernized like Americans. Some African countries practice Christianity but he may be Muslim.
Ngolo comes from a different culture from us. I don't know what his traditions are and I am glad he can be with people who are more like him. He can eat the kind of food he ate where he came from and be with people who are similar.
People from that country probably eat at home a lot more than Americans and have less access to fast food.
People from East Africa may value self-sufficiency and working with their hands. Aspects of their culture, such as the way they live may be simple but it is rich in food, music, and art tradition.
The types of food he grew up eating are probably very different. There probably weren't as many social norms.
I would think their customs and traditions are very basic. They may pray often, grow and process their own food, and live a very simple, unmaterialistic life.
I think they have different religious and family customs.
It might be common to eat what they call "bushmeat", such as monkeys and wild dogs. It might also be common to marry an underage girl by American standards.
He is most likely a person with family values. Practices his religion and eats meals/foods native to his land. He is just a person, a human being.
Depending where he's from in E. A., he's either a devout Christian or Muslim. I doubt he smokes and is probably a tee-totaler.
conservative views, traditional and anti freedom type laws and rituals
They probably value their parent more than we do and honor them in different ways from us. He probably values and is more respectable to women and approaches marriage in his home countries customary way.
it can vary, i cant just say something like this w/o knowing more about where and his culture
I think his diet would be very different, more meat based with more ethnic foods from his home country. Also I think his dress would be different from the normal american, but not too different.
It depends on Ngolo's religion as well as what country he comes from, but his traditions are very likely not that different from other Americans. He will have certain ways of doing things around holidays that are important to him.
African culture, I think of semi-tribal kind of traditions.
Muslim religious practices and arranged marriages
He probably values his parents and honosr them more and differently from us. He probably also values sex and marriage and approaches that more in line with his home countries customs.
The people of Ngolo's country probably follow a very traditional lifestyle, are polytheistic, and maybe utilize a sort of tribal hierarchy for their community.

How many bunnies are in this picture?
There are 5 pictures, each one has one bunny in it
which picture? There's 1 in each? But 5 pictures? Umm 5? Or is it 1? Of course this backwards human check is towards the end. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It's either 5 or 1.

How many baby pandas are in this picture?
3? There are 4 pandas but only one looks like a baby. One is clearly an adult. the others are youthful though. Once again. TERRIBLE human check.
