Religion and Culture

Religion and culture are strongly tied together in different regions of the world. In some cultures, religion is what makes up most of the culture and determines how those people live their everyday lives. Religious holidays are celebrated and are even incorporated into cultures. Religion has even been incorporated into governments of some countries, and they now rule the country by the rules of the religion. As many religions have different values or guidelines, the followers of that religion incorporate those into their daily lives.

European colonization has made an impact on Anglo America and Latin America politically, socially, and economically by sharing their ideas with the natives. Politically, Anglo America has adopted the democratic/ representative way of running its government (House of Representatives, Senate, Elections, etc.). As for Latin America, the Europeans helped stop dictatorship and communism from spreading. Social aspects such as language and religion have also impacted Anglo America and Latin America. Europeans brought Protestantism, Christianity, and Catholicism to Anglo America and spread it among the natives, as these religions still stand today. In Latin America, Catholicism is one of the major religions of the people and will continue to be for generations to come. The British also brought the English language to both Latin and Anglo America and is now a major language spoken around the world. The idea of industrialism and trade has made a huge impact by boosting both Americas' income, providing a way to make money to support itself.

Latin America consists of a number of diverse cultures, deriving from the countries within such as Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and even Haiti. Even though some of the cultures are very diverse, music, food, and lifestyle are the key parts that make up each culture. In Latin America, food is what brings families together and gives them the chance to spend time with each other. Each country has their own way of preparing meals and adds different ingredients to pass on dishes made by their natives.

Music is the soul of each culture and plays a big role in entertainment and traditional ceremonies as well. From the music comes the dancing which brings people together in celebrating their heritage and the country they are from. From traditional village dancing to modern dances such as salsa and meringue, each country adds its own style to the way they dance.

The lifestyle in Latin America can be very different to the way we live. Some countries like Mexico and Spain live very similar to the way we do, such as owning businesses and living in the city. But in other parts of Latin America, some families make a living in the cottage industry by making goods at home and going to the local market in the village and selling them to other villagers. Other people live on ranches and handle cattle, or on farms raising crops and selling them to major companies.
