...How does religion affect the culture of a country? Give examples. There are many religions in the world. Each religion has different beliefs. Also, a country may have different religions that affect the culture of that country. Let get Vietnam as an example. Almost all Vietnamese are Buddhist. Buddhist religion creates a lot of traditions and Vietnamese norms. Vietnamese consider Buddha is the greatest God; he sacrificed himself to find the way to overcome human sin. Vietnamese believe in the next life. If you a lot of good things in present you will get a better next life time. On the contrary, if you do bad things or treat people badly, you won’t be able to continue your next life and you will get a punishment suitable to your offences. So, Vietnamese always try to be as good as they can. In addition, Buddhist values the respect the Buddhist priests, the elder and other people. One way to show our respect is taking soft not raising voice and being silent when other is taking especially the elders. We don’t talk back or cut their conversations. It is like in class, students don’t have a lot taking, questing teachers. Students are silent listeners of the teachers and they are taking notes. Another effect of religion is that a lot of people keep a vegetarian diet all year round. Buddhist don’t eat meats or fishes, they eat vegetable instead. Because they believe that all animal are living too and no man is having a right to take away their life. It also is a sin for them. ...

...role in determining how we make choices, and how we behave in daily life. It all starts directly after your birth, because the first social institution you meet is your family. Your parents, brothers and sisters will have their own specific way of living, so they as an institution will affect the creation of your personality. In my opinion, these first three or four years are very important because during these years a baby have to learn a lot. The second institution of a child will be the primary school. In my opinion, this is the most important institutions which will affect your personality and behavior. Teachers will cover a big part of this, but I think the students of the school will cover even more. For example, in my home town Muiden there are two different schools. A school with children from wealthier parents, and a school with less wealthy parents. If you look at the students who finish the schools, there exist a big difference in behavior, decisions and goals in life. In my opinion this proved that the primary school as a social institution affects personality and choices in life. After school, students are joining institutions such as the soccer club or the hockey club. These institutions indeed are affecting the behavior and choices we make. Furthermore, religion as an institution is an important aspect too. If we look at different religions, you can clearly see a difference in behavior and the style of living. For a lot of people their religion is a very important...

...freedoms is the Freedom of Religion. Our forefathers knew that there had to be a separation of church and state. This allowed citizens of the US to practice any religion they may chose and the government would not interfere. A plethora of court cases have ruled that having prayer in school is unconstitutional. While having prayer in school that is not sponsored by the administration is constitutional. Groups such as Moms in Prayer are for having prayer in schools. While the American Civil Liberties Union are against having prayers in schools. "To secure the people's right to acknowledge God according to the dictates of conscience: Neither the United States nor any State shall establish any official religion, but the people's right to pray and to recognize their religious beliefs, heritage, and traditions on public property, including schools, shall not be infringed. The United States and the States shall not compose school prayers, not require any person to join in prayer or other religious activity." Congressman Ernest Istook (R-OK). Prayer in school is a debate that has been going on since the 1960’s with the landmark case of Engle V Vitale. The case found that a school wide solicited prayer recited by the students was unconstitutional. This ruling led to other litigation where school sponsored prayer was not allowed, such as during sporting events and graduations. Those that are for prayer in school will argue that it allows for the Freedom of Religion. Will bring back morality...

... age, and race are common markers of how parents communicate with their children, religious affiliation might also contribute to the latter. The article continues to explain and note several facts regarding sex and misinformation. Communication on the subject of sex is important for several reasons. Proper communication may lead to less unplanned pregnancies and the decrease of sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV. The article asks the following questions regarding sex: “Does religion influence the frequency of and with which parents communicate about sexual topics? When religious parents say they talk to their kids about sex or birth control, do they primarily communicate values? Do more devoutly religious parents communicate less frequently about birth control?” The author’s aim is to see if there is any significance in religion and patterns of parent–child communication about sex. The author did not directly survey people. Rather he combined information from two major data sources: National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and National Study of Youth and Religion. The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health(NLSTAHL) surveyed adolescents whom were in the range of 7th to 12th grades in school in 80 different high schools and middle schools of different communities.

The rise in hostility against students with religious beliefs is rapidly becoming an issue in the public education system. Students are now facing failing grades and rejected college applications from schools for expressing their religious beliefs. Schools are choosing to ignore, or even worse, participate in harassment to students of faith. In American society, students of faith are discriminated against for their beliefs by their peers and teachers, including here at Blue Valley West. A solution for this problem could include a club or assembly that educates all students about the different religions in order clear up misunderstandings...

Studies has shown a 73% increase in better grades and an 89% satisfaction rate by students and teachers from using technology in schools. Students and teachers can find any academic material needed for essays, homework, and much more.

...of our existence. Different cultures and religions have creation stories on how life came to be. The creation stories from the perspective of the Kono people of Guinea and The Hebrew share some commonalities but differ in other areas as they explain the origin of the Earth, its life, and its peoples. The creation story of the Kono people explains that in the beginning there was nothing. That neither matter nor light existed. The story then explains that the God Alatangana created earth followed by plants and animals. He then took death’s daughter as a wife to populate the world. The story explains the creation of light and also talks about humans being cursed. The Hebrew story is similar in that it also explains how the earth was created first and then the plants and animals. The Hebrew story also explains the creation of light and humans became cursed. The Kono story of creation begins with the existence of death. This story also includes the family unit as already being in existence by including Sa and his wife and daughter. Since Sa had the power to make a world of mud and then create light, he had god-like powers as well. This is quite different than the monotheistic belief described in the Hebrew creation story. In the Hebrew story only God has powers. God created everything including humans and light. These stories of creation seek to explain how our world came to be. Different religion and cultures provide their people with a needed...

...How Having a Child Can Affect College Students Emily Meyer Kansas State University FSHS 302 How Having a Child Can Affect College Students Everyone looks at college as being the best years of their life. Although for some students it can turn into a living nightmare. About half of the pregnancy within students, with some college education, is unplanned. (Olmstead, Koon, Puhlman, Pasley, and Fincham, 2013, P. 808) While a child can be a great assets to one’s life, for a college student it can be stressful and even difficult for them to learn how to balance their needs with the needs of their child’s. There are many different factors to how a child can affect student’s life in college. These factors include whether or not they return to college, how they will make time to get everything done, stress, how their social life will be effected, how men react to unplanned pregnancy, religion, and also birth control and emergency contraceptives. Typically a college student, at a university, will take about four years to complete the program and graduate. When faced with the fact that a child is in the student’s life or will be coming into their life it can change the way the student might go about college. For starters the student may want to wait for a couple of years to finish their schooling. This gives the parent some time to concentrate on the child as they are growing up. Although this might seem like a good idea at the time, it can also cause hardships to complete the...
