The life in Ethiopia's rural area is diffrent from the cities like Addis Ababa because the rural area aren't as technologically advanced as the city go-er's. Majority of them still have to go to a river source for water. have no indoor plumbing, and have no electricity.Thr rural people are farmers and still live in the strong customs that they lived 50 years ago In contrast to the people of the city, many of them have running water and electricity.

¨A different style of dress is obvious in Mesopotamian sculptures dating after about 2370 BC. Both men and women were clothed in a large piece of material-most commonly of wool, though later also of linen-draped around the body over a skirt. This garment, similar to a shawl, was characteristically edged with tassels or fringe. The draping varied, but, for men at least, the fabric was arranged so that the fullness was at the rear, leaving the right, or sword, arm free. This newer form of dress had originated from farther north and east and was adopted by the Semitic people of Akkad under Sargon (the dynasty founded by Sargon lasted from c. 2334 to c. 2193 BC ) and by the revitalized Sumerian culture in the years 2110-2010 BC
