To grow dreadlocks, Rastas just wash it and leave it. The locks take time to grow and one cannot just change his or her hairstyle without showing all of his or her hair. Therefore, it is a symbol of commitment. Rastas’ locks are also a semi- permanent symbol that signifies their devotion to Jah. The use of Food Rastafarians do not eat meat, they are strictly vegetations. Their diet has to be natural; therefore no artificial food is used. Only a few dairy products are eaten.

...No Tax Dollars for Religious Education Tax dollars are your money at work. Do you want your money to go to fund private religious schools? Tax dollars should not fund religious education because it is a violation of the separation of church and state clause of the first amendment to the constitution. Lately we have seen proposals for vouchers. These vouchers are public money given to low income family so they may send their kids to private schools. Most of the schools who use this program are religious. In the Cleveland voucher program we see there were 3,761 children are enrolled and 96 percent of those children are attending religious schools. Also 82 percent of the participating schools were seReligious Education- Original Writing In my Religious Education lessons I have studied many different religons and managed to broaden my knowledge on different practices and life styles of people all over the world.

...“In many parts of the world today religious education is facing dramatic challenges.” (catholicireland.net, 2012). We live in a world where society is greatly affected by the ways and customs of different religions and cultures. The questioning of the relationship between religion and education in Ireland has been a sizeable debate recently. The increase in immigration etc. has resulted in new and diverse religions and cultures being introduced into Irish society. Naturally this means that change is imminent. When people first heard that I would be studying to become a religious education teacher their reactions were mostly what I had expected. The look on their face said it all for most people. I could tell they were thinking that religious education was not a real subject. That is was merely a subject where you could catch up on homework or sit back, relax and watch a movie. Of course my natural instinct was to defend the subject as I knew why I wanted to and was going to study to become a religious educator. However as I found myself trying to explain, it was challenging to try and find the words to define what the subject is and what it entails. It was difficult to do this without sounding like a “holy joe” as the expression goes. It made me realise that I needed to sit down and think in detail the meaning of religious education and also what I think the future of religious education in Ireland looks like? Will religious education still be a subject in Ireland in years to...

...their minds about what they learned” (Simuchimba 2008: 79). Philosophy is the seeing/viewing or understanding of life with its different aspects in an individual’s way or sometimes there could be a group of people viewing things the same way or rather they agree with each other’s ideas. Philosophy of Education then is the way an individual values education, especially formal education. Msango et al in (Tembo 2000: 33) define Philosophy of Education as: A critical and systematic intellectual endeavour to see education as a whole and as an integral part of men’s culture .... any philosophy dealing with or applied to the process of public or private education and used as a basis for the general determination, interpretation and evaluation of educational problems having to do with objectives, practices and outcomes, child and social needs; materials of study and all other aspects of the field. “Philosophy of Religious Education deals with any problems and issues in the Philosophy of Education that affects Religious Education as a curriculum subject” (Simuchimba 2008: 2).

...Andrade 1 Carla Andrade Mr. Jones p.2 November 23, 2013 Pro Prayer In School Over the years, many Americans have discussed the issue about prayer in school. It has been heavily debated since the 1960s, when the Supreme Court decided that prayer in school was unconstitutional and was removed from all public schools. Many people believe that the elimination of prayer in school is beneficial to the students. They say that because religion is private and schools are public it is better that the two should not mix. “To introduce religion in our public schools, builds walls between children who may not have been aware of religious differences before.” (state/church) This, however, its contradicted by many factors that have been seen over the years. Prayers have the power of creating a spiritual atmosphere that helps students drive into values such as humility and discipline. Which is why many people believe that prayers should be allowed in school to develop the maturity of the students. “Banning prayers in school could mean depriving the school children of their freedom of religion.” (prons and cons of prayer in school) According to the First Amendment of the Constitution, all American people have freedom of Andrade 2 religion, press, and expression. Therefore, every children who attends school should have the right to pray at school. Those who are in favor of prayers in school, believe that prayer is an essential part of the school routine. For them, it seems quite...

...all students, regardless of religious creed, academic abilities or any other factor. Sending you child to a private school means enrollment is selective and demands are uniformly higher versus a public school where they will be exposed to a wider variety of people and abilities. In today's world, both are likely to incorporate students from various cultures and backgrounds. In most areas, your children will attend public school with other kids from the same area. However, a number of states are moving toward a policy where you can request a change if you desire. When parents choose a private school, they often do so based on their desire to give their children a specific peer group, whether that is based on discipline, cultural or religious background, or philosophical beliefs. This is perhaps understandable, in that establishing the right peer groups early on can have profound effects later in life. In most private schools, students are excluded or expelled if they do not adhere to the school's policies or standards. Because they do not use public funds (or in some areas, less funds), private schools are not as restricted in their program development or curricula. Private schools are not subject to budget limitations imposed by the state (although, they may in fact, have more restrictive limitations). This freedom allows private schools to develop their own curricula. As long as parents agree with the intellectual, philosophical or religious basis brought to the curricula...

...CXC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION SBA GUIDELINES Statement Of Aims Your SBA should have at least 3 aims. The aims tell what you hope to find out, and are centered around the research topic. For example, if “worship” is your area of research, then all the aims must be centered around worship. Methodology This tells how, when and where you will collect information. Why have you selected a particular method of data collection (advantages)? How many questionnaires or interviews were administered? How many questions were on the questionnaires or in the interview schedule and when were they collected? Formulating Questionnaires: Look at the aims and form questions based on these aims and all the questions must relate to the topic chosen. Summary of Findings This section should provide the information to cover your aims. For example if the aims are to discover: (1) What is the most important Rastafarian symbol? (2) How are these symbols used in the Rastafarian Movement? (3) How has the use of the Rastafarian symbols impacted on Jamaica? You would therefore have to provide information under the following headings for the summary of findings: * Important Rastafarian symbol * Rastafarian symbols and their purposes * The impact of the Rastafarian symbols on the Jamaican society. Simply put, the summary of findings is the information that is researched based on the aims. Analysis and Interpretation of Data In this section you can use diagrams to represent your...

...Religious Education SBA Submitted in partial fulfillment of the CSEC Religious Education Examination Name of Candidate: Romareo Williams Registration #: 100013 School: Calabar High School Territory: Jamaica Teacher: Date: February 2013 STATEMENT OF AIMS The aim of this research is to investigate the origin and development of orthodox Judaism knowing the reason why they were formed and how they differ from the other sets of jews. Methodology Information will be collected via internet and booklets that was given by the teacher of the subject. Statement of findings Origin and development of the orthodox Jews The actual term “Orthodox” is derived from Christian theology and was, at first. A term of reproach hurled against the traditionalist by the early reformers at the beginning of the nineteenth century, to imply that those who fail to respond to the modernist challenge were high bound. However the term was used by the traditionalist themselves as a convenient short hand for the attitude of complete loyalty to the Jewish past, although some traditionalist prefer the term “Torah true” to describe their Jewish positions. In any event orthodoxy came to mean faithfulness to the practices of Judaism to the Halakhah (Jewish law) in its traditional formulation. Orthodox Judaism rejects the notion introduced by reform that, in the light of modern thought and life in western society, Judaism required to be reformed, Granted that the Torah is a divine...

...U N C I L REPORT ON CANDIDATES’ WORK IN THE CARIBBEAN SECONDARY EDUCATION CERTIFICATE® EXAMINATION MAY/JUNE 2013 RELIGIOUS EDUCATION GENERAL PROFICIENCY EXAMINATION Copyright © 2013 Caribbean Examinations Council St Michael, Barbados All rights reserved. -2GENERAL COMMENTS It is well worth remembering that the study of religion as an academic endeavour is intended to enable candidates to “develop an understanding of the meaning and purpose of life as advanced by different religious practices.” The academic enquiry into the phenomenon of religion must be differentiated from religious instruction, where the latter is intended to enable faith or proselytise individuals. Consequently, it must be made clear that persons engaging in the study of Religious Education should do so not merely for the promotion of their personal faith experience but should be willing to expand their knowledge and understanding of their own and different religions. Furthermore, it should be remembered that the study of religion is neither a pre-requisite nor requirement for specific training as a teacher or leader in the different religions presented in the syllabus. The examination for Religious Education for the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) is grounded in these understandings and the candidates sitting the examination should be aware of the focus of this academic discipline. The CSEC Religious Education examination consists of three components. Paper 01, the MultipleChoice...
