However superstitious the Montagnais seemed, they had an intractable notion of right and wrong. The normative values, which derived from the Montagnais’ religion, shaped their social life. These social virtues consisted of peacefulness, patience, hospitality and generosity. It is due to these that despite the lack of a centralized government the Montagnais were able to function as a community and live amicably. The two most important Montagnais values are (1) communication and (2) their relationship with the spirit world.
Sarah Smith TASK1 How will communicating effectively help you to build positive relationship with them? Effective communication is a “two way process”. It involves good communication weather it verbal or non-verbal, but both very important.

This theory is referred to as the theory of forms, the forms are eternal constants which give meaning to the world. As the highest form the Form of Good links other forms together and gives humanity ethical wisdom. Religious absolutism, as mentioned previously, can be found in many forms all of which believe in a set of absolutes. Donnelly and Finnis argue that humans also have intrinsic and absolute rights but differ over the extent of these.

A God who is omniscient would know everyway evil could come into existence and would know how to stop every form of these evils. A God who is omnibenevolent would want to prevent all evils. A God who knows everyway evil can exist, who is able to stop evil from even coming into existence and wants to have no evil in the world, definitely could stop the existence of evil. If such a being exists then evil must not exist in this world. This turns out to be a logical contradiction, as stated previously, evil does exist in this world in many different forms, so this being of which no greater can be conceived must not exist.
Definition of Religious Worldview: Religious worldview is how different religions come to understand the world. It is the perspective through which individuals are able to gain a source of meaning for their lives. Each religion provides its own worldview that determines how adherents see their life and the world. Buddhism and Hinduism, for example, see life as a cycle, where as Christianity, Islam and Judaism see life as infinite Supernatural dimension: The supernatural dimension refers to the belief in the existence of powers which are beyond the natural world.

All types of evil have the potential to cause contradiction between reality and the established conception of a personal God. In the following I will examine the problem of evil and attempt to establish why the presence of evil is the most potent argument against theism. The classical notion of a monotheistic God ascribes certain divine qualities to Him and I will proceed with the assumption that he possesses these qualities. God is conceived as an ultimate perfectly good being, with the unique characteristics of omnipotence and omniscience. God is the knower of all things past and present and has the divine power to do anything.

Person-centered therapy warmly embraces a number of key values (adapted from Korchin, 1976, pp. 353ff). A key value is that persons should not be “atomized” or broken down into their component parts, but rather should be studied as whole and unique beings; what persons tell us through self-report of their experience is to be more highly valued than what we can observe directly or objectively. We are coparticipants in the process of self-actualization, we must be willing to enter into the consciousness field of others as well as our own. Another key value is that intuition and empathic should be viewed as extremely important means of gaining insight and
They are thought to have control over the both the natural and human world. The humans directly deal with the mythical beings in a world dominated by these beings. Historic religion tends to remove the mythology associated with primitive and archaic religions. A notion of one god, who created the universe and is its ruler, is created. There is also a strong desire to maintain the hierarchical structure that is common in archaic religions.
Everything can be overridden by Love/Agape, it can be used as an excuse to justify any action. All ethics are judgments on behaviours, intentions and consequences. Situational ethics is about consequences, outcomes, however if love overrides all of the rules, then the only judgement that should be made is whether the outcome is one done with love.
