One major difference between the games in the Yemeni culture and the American culture is that they are basically all based on your gender, and since their are gender typed games, the boys' games are more violent, and require much more effort than the girls' games. A major similarity is that their games show the uniqueness of the child and how they play. I think that it is very cool how we're different just by the matter of different games, I find it very interesting!

As I was reading the passage i noticed a few similarities and a few differences which i will be explaning to you in the following sentences. I will first be telling you about a major difference i noticed in the Yemeni culture compared to ours. The major difference that i noticed was that child psychologist Najat Sa’em siad that the children of the tribes act mostly like thier parents do. For example the boys in the tribes act like thier fathers by playing a little rougher and the girls act more like thier mothers by wanting to play more peaceful games than thier brothers or male friends. This is qiute different from the american culture because boys and girls both play with each other, not depending on what thier parents do for fun. So in our culture parents dont influence children to play certian games with other girls or others boys. Now i will be telling you about a similarity between the Yemeni cuture of playing games and our culture. One similarity that i noticed was that in both cultures games are mainly based on the players skills, strength, and strive to win the game. So i would say that this could be said about any culture no matter where you go that thier will always be similarities and differences between the ways we play our games. geek
