The paper is going to cover multicultural concepts of both sexual identity and or orientation as well as religion. The paper will also analyze the two multicultural concepts and make sure to point out the significance of each in understanding cultural differences. Religion All religions support some similarities as well as differences such as some believing in multiple gods, others still doing sacrifices, and some having saints. Religion is something that can be found in any part of the world, from culture to culture in some aspect or another which can impact an individual’s interactions within the person’s culture. Santrock (2010), states that individuals in most cultures continue on in the religion that the person was raised in; the individual will continue in the religion that was taught to the person by their parents.
Spiritual people who follow Christianity, or Buddhism are often called just and religious. Of course, this doesn't have to apply everywhere. A christian church, when referring to the followers of the devil, often call them cultists astray
Although polygamy is an accepted part of all three religions’ past practice, their modern views on the controversial issue differ, and thus generating much debate among people. Through the examination of all three religions’ historical, medical and feminine perspective on polygamy, a conclusion may finally be reached regarding the contentious issue. Historically, all three religions have accepted polygamy as a part of their religious practice, albeit for different purposes. Within the early Christian society, a casual attitude is
People who worship religion almost always wear specific things that reflect their beliefs. For example the majority of reported religious people have been seen to wear a sign made up of two sticks crossing each other perpendicularly or a sign encrypting names of God in their own native languages. 3. It has been reported that humans who follow religion have a different way expressing themselves during times of emotional distress. They also have specific customs and obligations that they have to follow.
The difference between the “religious consumerism” and the Lakota Indians is that consumerism takes the person further away from their natural roots or from their connection to nature. 1. What does it mean to be human? Every individual and community answers the question of “what it means to be human” or “what is the meaning of life” differently. These differences in answers stem from each individual’s personal beliefs and morals.
It seems that people in all cultures have a set of beliefs that go beyond both the self and the natural world. These beliefs are used to help explain reasons for human existence and to guide personal relationships and behaviour. Many current religions take previous traditions and beliefs and adapt them to fit the way of life lived by the majority of the population, today, in the 21st century. However some still take their sacred texts literally, and incorporate them into their everyday lives, seeing them as a set of instructions and rules, rather than a metaphorical meaning to life. This is evident in Hinduism, the predominant religion of southern Asia.
These Christians had a complex variety of religious beliefs and customs which great shifts today in perspective and religious attitudes of these holy people have arisen since the time of late antiquity. The understanding of nature and its environment took on a much different and less logical or scientific perspective. Our modern view is much different then the understandings of early Christians. Their faith is sometimes perceived as ignorant or with a lack of attention to obvious elements. Western European Christianity has followed various paths and influences until developing into the form and structure of the mannerisms of today.
Elements of Religion Manuel A. Munoz Rel/133 March 6th 2013 Doctor Isaac Mwaze Elements of Religion Religion is a complex concept that is not easily explainable and in some circumstances, it is completely different when compared side by side to other belief systems. Huxley’s definition of religion “is a way of life founded upon the apprehension of sacredness in existence (as cited by Molloy & Hilgers, 2010). Most people do not bother to leave their comfort zone to experiment with religion and often assume all religions are the same. According to Molloy and Hilgers, “Traditionally religion is defined as a system of belief that involves worship of a God or gods, prayer, ritual, and a moral code.” The way each religion operates may vary and although some of the practices seem similar, each follows their own guidelines and the interpretation in their scriptures could be entirely
They all can’t be something you want them to be. Last but not least, religion. Just be yourself. Believe in what you want to believe in. Very religious people that are my friends have told me they are forced to go to church every Sunday which they don’t want to.
I constantly challenge what the church say’s because of all the rules it implements. If Jesus loves me for me, why can’t I break the rules a bit? Now when I go to my mother’s church, it is a completely different environment. In her church they give the same sermons but they add music, there is no dress code and mass is only an hour long. I feel that her church is more reasonable, liberal and closer to what the religion wants from the
