Identify and briefly explain some of the ways in which functionalists see religion meeting the needs of society and individuals (9 marks) Functionalists believe that religion has a definite purpose in society. First of all Malinowski says that religion can offer answers to things that are unexplainable or appear to break scientific laws. An example would be if somebody looked at a landscape and had an overwhelming feeling of beauty, they could only ask themselves why they thought it was beautiful. This is also known as a numinous experience. A Christian could just say you know this due to the way God made the earth and humans.
One would expect a worker of Elizabeth’s to support her, as they have known her for a long time and are supposed to treat her with respect. In a treatise written in 1602, William Clowes, Elizabeth’s personal surgeon, discusses the fact that everyone should pray to God that Elizabeth lives a long, healthy life. This viewpoint is also not surprising, based on the fact that Clowes is a personal worker of the Queen’s. Before and during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, many people turned to religion either to explain how women could
Gothic Europe and Late Medieval Italy was a time of the arts changing in style and a rebirth or Renaissance. This was especially shown in painting and altarpieces. New artists such as Giotto di Bondone, Nicholas of Verdun and Duccio Di Buoninsegna started to become recognized for their works and given credit for their contribution to art during this time. Artists such as these were becoming commonly commissioned to complete Altarpieces for the great Cathedrals of this time. Two very important pieces are the Sacrifice of Isaac and the Virgin and Child Enthroned with Saints.
Whether we realize it or not we are constantly surrounded by images of sex; in the media, advertising, movies, and even in schools, sex is everywhere. So it is not uncommon for us when we open a magazine and see images of half naked women and barely legal girls posing provocatively in order to sell a product. In Jean Kilbourne’s article, “Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt” she explains how much women are objectified and dehumanized in advertisements like this. Constantly in the media there are women who are looked up as sex objects rather then actual women. Kilbourne describes how when you depict men or women as sex objects rather

She said, “If you burned the Bible in front of me, I would still love you, I would not have hated you for this terrible behavior because you are still good for me even if you don’t believe in God, and I will still give all my love. Certainly I would still believe in God whatever happens. So when you believe what the Bible says, that’s the only way to the heaven. If I know this but I didn’t tell you, I am selfish”, she said, “you believe it or not, that is your choice”. Cross is another sacred symbol, in this church, and I believe that the cross in front of me where the pastor gave the speech in church in the main hall is the most holy area than others.
It was thinking according to these very ideas that Thomas Cole’s talents as a painter came forth, with paintings that in Europe would be called “picturesque”. With the Romantic ideals such as strong emotion stressed a source of aesthetic experience, and an emphasis on emotions such as awe in confronting sublimity in untamed nature, Thomas Cole brings the qualities of Europe’s Romantic Movement into America’s artistic culture (“Romanticism”). Thomas Cole had not only become an icon of American artistic culture, but had become a conveyer of European artistic culture as well. With his beautiful pieces of art acting as a medium between cultures, and establishing himself as the icon for American landscape painting, Thomas Cole was and is considered the founder of the “Hudson River School”. The term is referring to the foremost representatives of nineteenth century American landscape painting (Avery and Roque).
I enjoyed this reading because it really opened my eyes to how erotic our culture is, in fact. It is so easy to become desensitized when you are constantly surrounded by it. I also had never realized how much women actually encourage this culture, either. This is not a step for women, to show how sexy and independent we are, it is just sad and demeaning. This article has an interesting perspective on our culture, the filthiness that is deep-rooted within in it, and how it seeps into every aspect of our everyday lives and affects everyone in
