We already know about cultural diversity. We already know that
Cultural diversity is the quality of diverse or different cultures, as opposed
to monoculture, the global monoculture, or a homogenization of cultures, akin
to cultural decay.
The phrase cultural diversity can also refer to having
different cultures respect each other's differences. The phrase "cultural
diversity" is also sometimes used to mean the variety of human societies
or cultures in a specific region, or in the world as a whole.
Globalization is
often said to have a negative effect on the world's cultural diversity. But we are up for something.
Let’s quickly see the Top 7 Pitiful or Nice Images of What
Children Eat Around the Whole World.
#5. 10 Year Old Abdul
Abdul is 10 and he loves Kibbeh. Syria’s second-largest city
Aleppo, has over seventeen varieties.
Kibbeh, also kubba and other spellings, is a Levantine dish
made of bulgur, minced onions, and finely ground lean beef, lamb, goat, or
camel meat with Middle Eastern spices. Other types of kibbeh may be shaped into
balls or patties, and baked, cooked in broth, or served raw.
Kibbeh is like a type of dumpling made primarily of bulgur
with a variety of meats, vegetables, and spices added. Life for children in
Syria can be unbearable with many living without shelter, food, or clean water.
Abdul is two years overdue for a life-saving heart operation
that he probably won’t get. His family lives in a tent city with sixty thousand
other “internally displaced persons”.
#4. 10 Year Old Artyom
of Ukraine
For sure, Ukraine has a varied set of national dishes that
resemble those of many neighboring nations formerly in the Soviet Union.
Top 10 Ukraine National
Dishes
- Hamburgers, U.S. Although the
origins of the hamburger are disputed, there is no argument over the popularity
of this classic dish. ...
- Ackee and Saltfish, Jamaica. ...
- Coo-Coo and Flying Fish, Barbados.
...
- Bulgogi, Korea. ...
- Kibbeh, Lebanon/Syria. ...
- Goulash, Hungary. ...
- Wiener Schnitzel, Austria. ...
- Pot-au-Feu, France.
Out of the above, one national dish that stands out is holubtsi which is a
cabbage roll filled with almost anything you can imagine, though usually beef,
lamb, or pork seasoned with garlic, onion, and spices.
It is a favorite of Artyom (aged 10), pictured above, who
still gets headaches from the shelling in 2014, and has to visit the doctor a
few times a month to have his eyesight checked.
The wonderful thing about cabbage roll is that the dish is common
to the cuisines of the Balkans, Central, Northern, Eastern Europe, Armenia,
Greece, Azerbaijan and Iran, as well as West Asia and Northern China.
#3. Neo of Afghanistan
Fragrant rice dish Kabuli palaw is the national dish of
Afghanistan. Afghan rice or kabuli Pulao is a dish that combines raisins,
carrots, and lamb for a truly aromatic experience.
But Neo, pictured here, prefers Sheer Khurma which is a
sweet dish made of vermicelli, saffron, milk, sugar, nuts, dates, and rose
water. It is a festive dish with Muslim origins.
The average wage in Afghanistan is $135 a month and children
(who legally cannot work under the age of 14) are paid even less to work in
dangerous conditions.
The big time point about Neo’s food is that Sheer khurma or
sheer khorma is a festival vermicelli pudding prepared by Muslims on Eid
ul-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indian subcontinent and parts
of Central Asia. It is a traditional Muslim festive breakfast, and a dessert
for celebrations.
#2. Congo
Moambe Chicken is the national dish of the Congo.
Palm butter or palm cream, frequently known as moambe,
mwambe or nyembwe, is an ingredient made from the pericarp of palm nuts, the
fruit of the African oil palm tree. It forms an important ingredient in stews
and sauces in African cuisine.
More so,
It is made by combining chicken, Congolese spices, and palm
butter (made from the fruit of the palm tree) to make a thick stew. It is also
a popular dish in Gabon and Angola. Congo has a serious problem with child
trafficking and child soldiers. If you are born in the Congo like Dira pictured
above, there is a 10% chance of dying before you turn five.
#1. United States of
America
Lol. This is James Charles. He became a YouTube Celebrity at
sixteen years of age with a channel focused on makeup.
Charles Dickinson is an American Internet personality,
beauty YouTuber and make-up artist. In 2016, he became the first male
ambassador for CoverGirl.
He lives in Los Angeles and is worth twelve million dollars.
His favorite food (judging by his Twitter feed) is junk food—especially French
fries!
Below is his food...
#6. Bangladesh
Rubel is 12 years old and he works in a factory that makes metal utensils. He earns $5 per week.
His Food,
#7. North Korea
Ji-seok is 10 and lives in North Korea. His father earns $1,000 a year which is the average wage. Ji-seok Loves chatting with friends online which is now possible with the government-sanctioned Red Star operating system.
Can you imagine that this little dude earns $1,000 a year? N300,000+. Hmm.
