They shared some aspects of their religion. Remember that the Aztec civilization reached it's apex when the Mayan had already fallen. So the aztecs based a lot of their beliefs on the Mayan's ones. They took the idea of the deity known as the Feathered Serpent as their creator, the one who tought them how to farm maize. The Mayan named it Kukulkan and the Aztecs Quetzalcoatl. Another example is the god of rain and thunder named Chaac by the Mayans and Tlaloc by the aztecs.

Both of these cultures built step pyramids to honor their gods, although they have a lot of differences, they were built to be precisely aligned with different astronomical elements, such as the sun or the moon.

Explanation:broken windows thesis is a thesis which suggests that there is a link between disorderly behavior and the potential major crimes mostly in urban areas in America. According to this thesis there should be regulations or policies that clearly show the connection between maintaining order and preventing crime.Based on this thesis maintaining order can help alleviate criminal behaviour which comes after disorderly activities.

A broken window is used as a reference or example of how disorder result to crime if no maintainance is done , for example if a window get broken in a factory and no one cares to fix it , more windows get broken by young people throwing rocks at the windows,people who pass by begin to notice the weakness in that neighborhood and soon one will start to see drug-dealing and other criminal activities such as murder occuring in that same neighborhood. This started with just a minor disorder(a broken window) but it opened up a window to bigger crimes. According to this thesis attending to disorder as soon as possible is likely to prevent crime.
