...Comparative Religion: Religion is a common set of belief held by different individuals available within a society. Religion concerns itself with purpose, cause, and nature considered for the creation of a superhuman agency fitted with several moral codes. The codes provide guidance on how humans should conduct themselves throughout their life time. Religious beliefs are known to fall into a pattern of 8 different elements such as the belief system, community, central myths, rituals, an ethical system, experiences of the emotions, expressing religion in a material manner, and the ability of being sacred (Jacobs, 2005). Religious Beliefs Patterns: As a Christian, my religious beliefs fall into the already identified pattern to a certain extent despite the fact that certain elements hold more weight compared to other elements. The 'belief system' element is taken into consideration and provided with a lot of weight within the Christian religion. Christians hold a belief that people should always take into consideration the manner in which they dress when attending a church service. Christian followers should wear decent clothes and not provocative clothing. Women should wear long skirts and men long trousers while attending a church service as a form of respect for the supernatural being. In addition to this, as a Christian, a lot of emphasis is put on the community element since every Sunday after the church service, the church followers meet to organize meetings with different...

...Comparative Religion Matrix Trisha Soliai Argosy University PHI 301 | M3A2 LASA 1 October 21, 2015 LASA 1 Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism are five of the major religions in the world. As there are several types of religions that exist in the world today, these are the five religions that have a huge impact to the understanding about life on earth and after death. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam fall under the Abrahamic religion, the religion that firmly believes that human spiritual growth was born through Abraham and his descendents. Hinduism and Buddhism descend under the Dharmic religion, a religion that believes in an ultimate spiritual reality beyond the physical world. After compiling the matrix of information on all of the different religions, each differs in certain beliefs but is similar in several ways. One of the most major factors that unites or connects each of these religions is that all believe and worship in one higher Supreme Being or authority. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism whether monotheist or polytheist each pledges to the conviction of a superior domination. Each believes that there is a mystical world, beyond the human world, that is our eternal home after life on Earth determined by our actions in the current life. Also there is a common core of practices that all of these religions do to open themselves to spiritual dimensions through prayer, meditation, fasting, etc. Moreover, each religion delivers...

...Comparative Religion Final Exam 3. Compare the ways that Eastern and Western religions deal with the animal world. To what extent do these practices reflect a respect for life? Western revealed religions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, human nature has a set of external checks and balances. Eastern religions, such as Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, more focus on improving the self-cultivation. Human beings should be kings upon the animals’ world in western religions. When God created the real world, God created animals, but all the animals don’t have the intelligence, but the human beings have the intelligence, so God created human, let them control the animals’ world. Because only people worship their God, only people can communicate with the God. People always use the animals to offer up a sacrifice in these three religions. In eastern religions, people are living with all the animals, and all the human beings and animals need to be focus the rule “coming again and again”. In Buddhism, Buddhists pursue nirvana and assert that Elysium is the final destination, so people cannot kill the animals, just because they are all have life, everything which was alive, that cannot be killed, should be respected. In Taoism, Lao Tzu said, “when people was born, they are so kind.” So in these three religions in eastern, people always respect the animals, and make a balance of the nature world. In eastern religions, they believe in saints’ conscientious. But in western...

...do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment." -Gandalf, The Lord of the Rings I believe that religion, just like judgment, should not be imposed on anyone. Jesus Camp illustrated a radical case of indoctrination on children, but I don't think that it is appropriate to try to 'convert' anyone into another religion. Despite the cultural upbringing I have had through my parents, I am not sure whether I identify completely with their religious ideas. I lean towards science as a better explanation of the unknown and how the universe came to be. Through my experiences in a World History seminar, I gravitate towards the belief that religion has been a historical tool used to control and organize people, and explain the unexplainable phenomena of an age when no one had many answers. The fact that most religions are unchanged in their values since their inception, while many other schools of thought such as science and philosophy are constantly evolving, immediately sticks out as a red flag to their credibility to me. The above quote struck a chord with me soon after I saw Jesus Camp and Religulous. These religious fanatics, most notably Evangelical Becky Fischer in Jesus Camp, are quick to judge and condemn people for not being of the same faith they are. They proclaim that they are following God's wishes, and that people who do not accept their religion will go to Hell, but in doing so they are taking a Godlike role-it is as though they are playing God themselves...

...Mercia Eliade devoted his life to the historical study of religions and was a pivotal figure in the establishment of religious studies in academia from the 1960’s to 1980’s. His book, Patterns in Comparative Religion explored what role symbolism played in religion while Myth of the Eternal Return explored the concepts of religious history and well as the dichotomy of archaic religion and modern thought. Unlike many before him who thought of religion as fake, false, or representative of a mental illness, Mercia Eliade thought of religion as a completely natural and normal human quality. Interestingly enough as Pals points out, “Eliade tends in all of his writings to explore the same major ideas and patterns, but in no one of them does he offer...

...Christian Cassell Article Review of “Teacher at Dreher High School “ This article talks about a South Carolina high school teacher who was accused of having sex with the students at the school. This high school is called Dreher high school in Columbia a city in South Carolina. Kinsley Wentzky, 34, of forest acres was arrested on charges of a sexual battery charge with a 16-17 year old student. The student has also given a sworn statement detailing the “intimate interaction” the teacher and the student had. Kinsley was released from prison on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond. She is now facing a possible 5 years in prison. This article is significant because it tells you how not all teachers are good, and how just because a teacher is a female doesn’t mean that your child is not in harm. This this information in this article is important because children go to school to get an education, not to get sexually harassed. The parents of this school will be a little more hesitant on letting their child do activities at the school. Also people who were considering sending their kids to this school will also be timid and resistant. With the teacher being accused of what she did, she is giving that school a bad name also she is making the environment in the school unsafe. My personal views on this article coming from a male student at a college in Columbia South Carolina are interesting. I look at this article different because the teacher is innocent until proven...

BRAND Global Definition: The American Marketing Association defines a brand as “A name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller’s good or service as distinct from those of other sellers. The legal term for brand is trademark. A brand may identify one item, a family of items, or all items of that seller. If used for the firm as a whole, the preferred term is trade name.” http://heidicohen.com/30-branding-definitions/ Operational Definition: Brand, to me, is the identity of a product or service.
