Religon affects all cultures by changing the way people eat, talk, and dress in their community. To me personally, religon is a major factor in the culture of a country. For example, in America, if not for the majority of Christians, then more people would dress differently, like with the Islam religon, women dress with full cover-up dresses, and in Judiasm, the men wear small round hats. The culture of America would devop very differently if people couldn't wear jeans and t-shirts.

Also, religon changes the way people eat, anouther part of culture. Some religons are forced not to eat meat, pork, and some even forbid dessert.

Culture is affected by religon in many different ways, but those are the most important ones in my mind.

EU B

                      Both the governments of the United States and of The United Kingdom are very similar. Both countries have a Bill Of Rights, and since the UK colonized America, they are very close with the political similarities.  Yet, at the same time both the governments in Latin America and Spain are similar from Spain colonizing Latin America. This is showed by Latin America being communist and then turning into a democracy, just like Spain.                                                                                                                                                                                
                      Speaking with economics now, both the United States and the United Kingdom spend a lot of money on the children's education so they can have happy lives with being well off. But, in Spain the people starting to farm in Latin America has stuck, and in Latin America most of the economic activity is farming or agriculture.                                                           
                             
                      Socially, Latin America is the most diverse in culture. Spain has had the hardest effect on Latin America with the language, Spanish, and most of the culture. For example, both Spain and Latin America are strongly enforcing Catholicism. Also, the effect of food has hit them hard. Most of the food they serve in Latin America is a more modern dish from Spain, just like what has happened in the US and the UK.

Latin America Post

                  My post about Latin America is based on their Arts. Their are many famous painters and musicians from Latin America including Pablo Picasso, Diego Rivera, and Freida Kahlo. I think most Latin American pieces are very interesting and different. Including the one painted by Pablo Picasso in 1912 called Violin on the left. He paints very abstract paintings, usually with oil on a canvas. Many people dislike Pablo Picasso's pieces, and i do not.

                  Latin America's Musicians also are a very good source of entertainment and they can be very different then music here. Famous Latin musicians include Selena, Shakira, and Enrique Iglesias. Many people in America like this type of music and i agree with them. Even though this type of music is different than what i would normally listen to, they are very talented people.
