Compare and Contrast
1. U.S. religion and Armenia's are different but similar. Most percentage of both countries are following Christians. They both read the Holy Bible, they also both go to worship in a church. Some things that are different with their religion is that 13% do NOT go to a church or believe in a Jesus. Another difference in their religion is Armenian's go to a church called Armenia Church where they worship and we go to just Church for worship.
2. Have you thought about how your food that you eat and how Armenia's peoples food taste the same and different. The food for them and us have the same meaning, they both feed and help people stay alive and live. It also they use some of the same stuff we do to eat. Like, vegetables,meat, and bread. Some differences on the food is that their fast food restaurants are so SLOW and the best food comes from their very houses. At least some of our places serve some good food! ( Chick Fil A) Cafes kind of disappeared in the U.S. in Armenia that is what is on almost every sidewalk or park.
