Requirement
3. Differences and similarities between the three
Required Often forgotten
Two answers, not one. Some differences between the religious and social customs of your three groups, AND some ideas or ways of doing things that are similar across all three. The similarities are the half that takes real thought.
Notes and warnings
Note. TWO ANSWERS, AND THE SECOND IS THE HARDER. Differences between the religious and social customs of your three groups, AND ideas or ways of doing things that are SIMILAR across all three. Differences are what people notice and what a quick search returns. Similarities take real thought, and they are half of what this requirement asks for. Note that this uses all three of your groups, unlike requirement 1, which only reaches two of them.
Where this step comes from
