How does religion influence how a culture develops?

Religion can influence the development of a culture in many different ways.
One big example is food. Whenever a large group of people that practice the same religion all settle in one place, they will bring food with them. Their religion might not allow them to eat a certain food, so the culture of that area is affected because that type of food will not be popular in that area.
Also, if a large group of people that are one religion all speak one language, and they move to settle somewhere else, that area will be a large speaker of that specific language.

EU: (B)

There are many differences and similarities between the impact of European Colonization on Anglo America and South America. The Politics are very different in both Americas. The Europeans brought over a government to Latin America where there was one ruler, and that one ruler decided everything. However, in America, the settlers that colonized the New England area brought over a government that was "of the people, by the people, for the people." The Economy is somewhat the same. The Europeans brought over the idea of trading with other countries, which we still continue to do today. And the Social effects are different. The majority of Anglo America is English-speaking people, while the majority of Latin America speaks Spanish.

Woman arrested for Guatemalan bus bombing

In Guatemala City, Guatemala, seven people were killed when a bus was bombed on Monday, January 3rd by Sonia Veliz, a member of the Mara 18 street gang. She brought a bag on the bus and left it on, and got off the bus before it exploded. This was a very tragic and devastating event. This event isn't something that happens every day, and it's not something to be expected. But I believe that this could have been easily prevented. I think that if the other passengers on the bus or the bus driver had seen that the woman left her bag, then they should have taken some precautionary action. They should have looked inside to see what was in the bag, because if they had seen it before it detonated, their lives could easily have been saved.

Secondly, the woman that planted the bomb had been instructed to by her gang leader, who instructed her to do so from jail. I believe that if conversations between prisoners and people of the outside world should be monitored and recorded. If the conversations were monitored, the employees at the jail could have heard the conversation and heard the instructions to plant the bomb, and they could have stopped the woman from carrying out the task.
