...Introduction The Hispanic world is dominated mainly by Catholicism. It is estimated that in the United States alone about 70% of Hispanics claim their practicing religion as being Catholic. Hispanic Catholics believe that health is a gift given by god and should not be taken for granted. The prevention of illness and injury is an accepted practice that is accomplished through prayer, the wearing of religious medals or amulets and keeping religious relics in the home. The visiting of shrines, offering prayers and the lighting of candles is a frequently observed practice. Many homes have shrines setup with statues and pictures of saints and candles are lit here and prayers are recited. Other notable minority religions of the Hispanic world also include: 1) Protestant 2) Judaism 3) Islam. Catholicism When the Spanish conquered the new world they were determined to spread the Catholic faith with no regard to the indigenous religions already present at the time they arrived. This introduction of the Catholic religion to the indigenous peoples brought about what is called religious transculturation when the Catholic religious practices mixed with the indigenous religious practices. Transculturation created an incredible variety of celebrations, rituals and physical representations of the elements of the Catholic religion such as Jesus, the cross, the saints, the novenas and the rituals in general. Celebrations Many of the celebrations of the Catholic Hispanic...

...Martin Luther During the time before Martin Luther’s introduction and changes to Christianity, several immoral and dishonest traditions were in play that Martin Luther was objected to. At the time, it was believed by the general public that one would enter heaven by doing good deeds. But the problem was that Martin Luther didn’t feel that he was worthy of going to heaven even though he had done many. As he read Paul in the New Testament, he was struck by the idea that a person can enter heaven by having faith alone. Astounded, he took this idea and taught it to the general public. He proved that rituals and other practices were useless for a person’s redemption. What Luther also disliked was the form of abuses the church used to make money....

...Active and Cooperative Learning Active learning is the process of involving students in the learning process through reading, writing, acting, moving, problem solving, discussing, etc. Involving students in the process gives them a deeper understanding of the material and leads to higher order thinking about class materials. After having incorporated active learning in my classes, I have become a strong advocate for active learningActive learning requires that students be active in the classroom. This can include doing problems, working with groups, participating in discussions, answering questions that require more than just facts, writing essays, or any other activity that is not just listening to a lecture. The basis for active learning is that students learn more and better when they are participants in thelearning process. It has also been found that student attention span starts to dramatically decrease about 12-15 minutes after the start of a lecture. By breaking up the lecture, students are able to keep their attention up, and therefore learn more.Cooperative learning puts student together to solve problems or discuss concepts that leads to greater understanding. Group activities also give students better social skills. Group work can be out of class projects, but this site concentrates on activities that can be done in the classroom. Groups can be informal (those students who happen to be sitting together) or formal (assigned by the instructor). Groups can be short-term...
