Here in these pictures, we can see two amazing examples. First, let’s take a look at the people. In both pictures, they are dancing; however, in the picture of the Russians, only women dance, while in the picture of the Masais, only men dance. Next, let’s analyze the mood.
The Russian girls look very happy; the Masai men look happy as well.
