Much Ethiopian art was religious until the late 1800s, when the influx of foreigners created a demand for more secular images, albeit in a traditional style. Painters have since explored various subjects and styles.

I feel there is similarity's and differences. Yes, America did explore a little bit of the religious side of art but not as much as Ethiopia did. America explored many different thing with art.

They have a lot of art with Jesus in it.

Primary school begins at age seven and lasts eight years. Secondary school begins at age fifteen and lasts four years. Secondary school is broken down into first cycle (grades 9–10) and second cycle (grades 11–12). By law, education is compulsory for seven years, but this law is not widely enforced. Though nearly 90 percent of children enroll in primary school, enrollment rates drop sharply in secondary school.

Ethiopians eat two or three daily meals, depending on their income. Breakfast  may include bread, tea, bread broken into pieces and mixed with a sauce, eggs, and milk. The same types of food are eaten for lunch and dinner. In urban areas, families often eat at a table. In rural areas, families often eat while sitting on a bench or in chairs. People may also eat in the living room or on the front porch.

Ethiopia has some similarities and differences when it comes to eating. The obvious similarity is that they have breakfast, lunch, and dinner just like us. The difference is what they eat.

I feel, when it comes to religion, Ethiopia is not so different from America. we have many different religions practiced in our country and so does Ethiopia. A similar religion we both carry is Christianity. The only difference is the percent of people that practice Christianity. In America 75% of the population practices Christianity while in Ethiopia only 19% of the population practices Christianity.

1.8% of the population follow a different religion or dont follow one at all.

Well seeing as Ethiopia is a developing country, they don't have all of the things that we do. Their fashion is different. Their fashion has a lot to do with religion and traditions in most areas while ours does not.

From what i read about the language for Ethiopia, i can say that there are a few similarities. The information that i read said that in high school kids are taught in English just like kids in america. The difference is, high school is the only place English is really spoken. If you were to go anywhere else you would hear people speaking Amharic.

# data[].attributes.body
Most Ethiopia teenagers and young adults speaking English because that is the language they are taught in all throughout high school.
