American cities are very much alike other cities in the world.
WORLD CITIES
1. Boston is an old American city. It was settled in 1630. Many of the original parts of the city are preserved as historic monuments.

2. Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand. Its history goes back 650 years when the Maoris settled in the area. Now it is an important centre for business and industry.

3. American cities are similar to other cities around the world: In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture.

Many white and black people like their hair styled in dreadlocks.
CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS
1. In the Bijago Islands the roles that men and women play are different. Men look after the children and wear jewellery and perfume when they go out. They spend hours in front of a mirror brushing their hair and choosing clothes to wear. Women find building houses preferable to shopping and do all kinds of jobs men normally do in other countries.
2. In ancient Egypt people had their nails, palms and soles of their feet stained with a red vegetable dye. They also highlighted the veins on their temples with blue paint. Women had their skin lightened with a reddish-yellow colouring; men had theirs darkened with orange paint. Both men and women used to line their eyes heavily with black powder.
3. Some fashions develop from religious beliefs. Rastafarians have their long hair twisted into thick strands. These are called dreadlocks. The lion is an important symbol in their religion and the dreadlocks symbolise a lion’s mane. Many other people, black and white, have adopted this hairstyle simply because they find it attractive.
4. High heels (каблуки) and platform shoes are not new. Hundreds of years ago, people used to wear them in the street because the streets were full of rubbish and mud. The rubbish didn’t touch their feet so their feet and dress didn’t get dirty. However they were uncomfortable and even dangerous to wear because of the terrible conditions of the roads.
