Citizenship, Religion and Society Policy of the United Kingdom

In “The Cask of Amontillado,” Edgar Allan Poe displayed the suspenseful mood in the poem multiple times, notably in the scenes of the catacombs and when the Montresor took his revenge. The catacombs gave it a suspenseful atmosphere, because the darkness, the foul air, and the damp, nitrous walls. Montresor even expressed, “We could see the bones of the dead lying in large piles along the walls. The stones of the walls were wet and cold”. Montresor describing the catacomb in that way made it suspenseful, because when you hear the words, wet, cold and bones, it gives a spooky, mysterious feeling. The technique of revenge used by Montresor gave the poem a climactic feeling, because Fortunato never fought back or had a clue what was happening

The British Colonists traveled over into the New World for society to work out in their own favor. However, this was not the case for these colonists; they carelessly came into the New World with the intent of having their own freedom of religion, being culturally intertwined with the natives already, and for their own overall independence economically . The British did not make a smooth transformation into this New World when they first arrived over seas, they brought chaos not only to the Natives but also the development of their colonies and themselves.

Civics and citizenship education is a vital part of the Australian curriculum, as it prepares students to become active and informed citizens in the community (ACARA, 2012). The term “civics and citizenship” covers a range of topics that relate to both the geography and history syllabuses. This includes government and democracy, citizenship, diversity and identity and laws and citizens. For students to be able to develop the necessary skills, attitudes and values to become active and informed citizens, civics and citizenship must be incorporated throughout the curriculum (ACARA, 2012). To understand the importance of civics and citizenship in primary education, both terms need to be understood and comprehended

In American Grace, Robert Putnam and David Campbell explore aspects that contribute to religion in the United States. They discuss relationships between religion and geography, ethnicity, gender, and politics all of which play a dual role of either uniting or dividing individuals. In Chapter 9, Putnam and Campbell explain the impact of immigration

than it has been in the past, it is the argument of whether or not

Since 9/11, support for multiculturalism has dropped in many liberal states like Australia and Britain. In many western democracies Muslims are perceived as potential terrorists who carry illiberal practices and are unable to embrace the values and norms of the liberal system. In Britain, multiculturalism was blamed for the atrocities caused by the terrorist attacks of London 2005. More recently the issue of ISIS has created lots of worries in Britain and the country seems to suffer from not only a multiculturalism crisis but also an identity crisis. Prime Minister David Cameron made it clear in his speech in a security conference held in Munich 2011 that the policies of multiculturalism that were applied in the past have created a fragmented

This essay will focus on the theological aspects of Catholics and the catholic church ideals and treatment on immigrants. I contend that the well the catholic church has become more progressive towards immigration views, however, Catholics have been more apprehensive about welcoming immigration. The paper will focus on immigration views within the contently US during two time periods, 1920’s and late 2010’s. In comparing these two eras I will compare and contrast political, religious, and theological difference and similarity, thus highlighting racial discrimination towards certain races of immigration at the specific time period and how that helped form calichs thoughts on immigration.

There was no religious freedom for the people in Great Britain. Moving to the thirteen colonies gave the people a chance to practice their own religion. In Great Britain people we tortured and killed for sharing a different religion than the Catholic Church. For example, this is what happened to two Mennonites,“by Catholic authorities in Ghent in 1554, David van der Leyen and Levina Ghyselins were strangled and burned, van der Leyen was finally dispatched with an iron fork.” So by going to the thirteen colonies they escaped execution from the Catholic Church.The thirteen English Colonies were like a safe haven for the people that had different religious views than the Catholic Church.

Immigration has increased diversity within this nation. To many, America is considered a melting pot, a place where people of different backgrounds are able to come together as a common culture. Since its colonial period, America has been a home and a safe haven for numerous groups of immigrants. According to Mark Connelly`s book, The Sundance Writer, “Since its founding, the United States has absorbed waves of new arrivals from around the world” (173). Immigrant groups viewed this land as a prominent and vast place where they can prosper, create exceptional and joyous lives, evade religious and political persecution in their home countries, and construct better communities under a

The United States is known as the land of opportunity. With this belief present around the world, an individual from any country is confident that once he arrives on American soil, he will be able to create a better future for himself and his family based on his own hard-earned merit. Coupling this prevailing belief of opportunity with the country’s separation of Church and State, a powerful duo emerges. Immigrants are willing to seek residence in the capital of the free world. While such a promised land does exist, for the United States does in fact exist, living in this country is not so black and white. Immigrants learn that the transition into the American culture is not an easy one. When the basic freedoms of immigrants are denied,

We can see the impact of immigration to the States that changed the country from what had been an almost exclusively to one with three major faiths which is Catholic, Jewish, Protestant.The Catholic population has been increased by subsequent immigration from Latin America and the Philippines. African immigrants have added to the Muslim population. The Jewish population is actually declining, while there are increases among Buddhists, Hindus, and Sikhs.Immigration also can be a factor of intermarriage across religious lines and this situation are not the same than 50 years ago.Survey shows how immigration is changing even more American religious demographic. For example, Muslims now account for roughly 0.6% of the U.S. adult population, and Hindus IS more than eight in ten of whom are foreign born, now account for approximately 0.4% of the population.

The current paper aims to (1) define what it means, outside of a quantitative or sociological viewpoint, to be a religious minority, and (2) suggest religious minority status is not damning (or non-positive)

In other countries churches are being reconstructed for the past decades of state skepticism; for some, churches are being transformed into bars, restaurants and clubs as societies move towards secularism. The Muslim populations in France, Germany, Holland and Great Britain as a newly immigrant outnumber the lengthy established ones of the Balkans (cited in Lockwood, 1972). The issues about belonging and bothering, social justice and market economics, cultural innovation and conservative nationalism, are essential to understanding Europe.

What is a citizen and where does she practice her citizenship? These questions cannot be answered unless accompanied by sufficient knowledge of how different types of citizenships are formed and how these citizenships are practiced. There is not one singular type of citizen that permeates the world or even the United States—an intermingled and enmeshed notion of citizenship is acted out through a combination of rights and duties as the citizen attempts to hold onto those values that are most important to them. Chantal Mouffe (1993) proposes a form of citizenship that lies somewhere between liberalism and civic republicanism. Michael Brown (1997) then explores where this radical democratic citizenship is practiced. What we are left

Religious identity can come in two forms, one from a nation of people all believing in the same values and another from the personal view of each individual or family within that nation. In a family or local community sense, it ties the smaller community together against its neighbouring ethnicities. It provides a feeling of togetherness and strength for the society. It is the basis for 'ethnic honour: the excellence of one's own customs and the inferiority of alien ones' (Weber, cited in Bruce 1996, p. 96). Religious identity brings great pride and hope to the citizens of any particular society and lends itself towards social cohesion (Browne 2005).
