Does Religion Affect Our Lives?

The benefits of promoting and valuing cultural diversity within a school setting is extremely important as children and young people will learn to understand all the different cultures and respect them. Learning about different cultures and religions helps a young mind broaden and see that no matter what culture, race or ethnicity another person is they still have equal rights and opportunities and can achieve the same goals as each other. For example, many people see all Indian/Pakistani adults as doctors, this is a common form of stereotyping and if an English child is lead to believe that this is only the case then they may not want to follow that career path due to feeling that they are not allowed. Within my setting we promote cultural diversity within our resources, this means that when we show our pupils books or home-made resources to help assist them with their learning we always try to ensure that all ethnic backgrounds and abilities are shown

When a blended family grows in tolerance and gets and understanding of each other, the families gain respect and happiness with each other. This can cause the families to bond as one, putting all hate and past problems behind them. For example in chapters 23 - 27 Jake understands stephanie more and has tolerance towards her along with the other family members, bringing everyone closer together. Jake understands stephanie and knows what she's been through so he grows tolerance towards her, making the family a better

For example, I have a friend that I met in college, whose parents got divorced right as she went off to college. Her parents believed that retaining their nuclear family was the best thing to do, until her and her younger siblings were old enough to deal with their divorce. This placed more stress on her, especially when her parents starting arguing with one another over their possessions. She had to deal with going to a new school, living on her own, and figuring out how to deal with a different family life than she was used to. She always claims that her parents would argue day and night while they were together, and they were both unhappy. She wishes they got a divorce sooner, so it would have been easier to deal with as she got older. Their nuclear family was more harmful than helpful towards everyone involved. Other types of family life may be more beneficial for various reasons as well. An extended family may make family members closer, offer extra sets of eyes on kids and possibly bring in extra income. Adoption allows a family to nurture a child that did not have a home. While the specifics of foster care may get a bad rap, the overall idea can be ideal, as many kids are taken into the care of someone, rather than no one. As we discussed in class, it has been proven that same-sex couples do not have an affect on the way their kids are

Everyone wants a partner who takes care and can do anything for him or her. Many times we see that people marry a different person in respect to their culture, race, religion, age, etc., and people wonder that why they marry or are in a relationship with different people. This has been explained in an article “Mixed relationship offers diversity “by Holly Nall. In the article Nall relates the diversity by her personal experience about her relationship. She also raised some points about the benefits of being in a relationship with different people. For example, one can learn about their culture, religion, etc. She presents her point of view mainly in pathos, but also some part of logos and ethos. This is merely significant as Nall wanted her readers to think deeply about society and marriages.

The statistics related to these interracial marriages clearly reflect a decline in the racist attitude towards blacks and Asians. However, as per the work of Heather M. Dalmage, the issue of racism has its roots sown in interracial marriages as well. Where the increasing number of interracial marriages clearly shows a change in racist's attitude against Blacks and Asian, one must

In comparison to individuals in couples who were not in mixed relationships, persons in mixed unions were younger, did better socio-economically and were more likely to live in large census metropolitan areas. In addition, for the visible minority population, there were more partners in mixed unions who were Canadian-born in comparison to those who were born outside of Canada, and the quantity increased with generation status. (Milan, A., Maheux, H., & Chui, T. (n.d.).

Traditionally, people have believed that when a person marries outside of their race, they do so as a way to escape from their race, culture, or traditional beliefs. In contrast, popular culture theorizes that interracial marriages are motivated not by a desire to leave behind one’s heritage, but by love between two people who happen to be of different races. In this paper, I seek to analyze and compare these two perspectives, proposing a theory that combines the two by accounting for a person’s upbringing and beliefs when deciding what their motivation may be. I first analyze the traditional belief of interracial marriage in comparison to the popular culture belief and present my theory combining the two. I then analyze the effect of dominant versus nondominant culture on motivations, and use examples from popular culture to look at the effect a person’s culture and upbringing can have their motivations for marriage. Lastly, I explain how my perspective will affect the way I live my life.

Many legal and financial advantages can be attained through marriage. Instead of getting married after high school, people tend to go to college, get their life together, and then marry. The average groom is now thirty-seven and bride thirty-four (Discuss). According to Associated Press Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, “41 percent of spouses admit to infidelity, either physical or emotional.” Couples these days aren’t communicating the proper way. Instead they get mad at each other and ignore one another. One or both people in the relationship have “checked out”, but they don’t want to divorce for the sake of the children. Or they still love each other, valuing each other as a support system and as close friends, but don’t feel that intimacy toward one another. As said in a marriage article from faqs.org, “The study, by the National Marriage Project at Rutgers University, found that the marriage rate among Americans is at its lowest point ever. Over the last forty years, the rate has fallen forty-three percent. In addition, fewer people are reporting themselves as being “very happy” in their marriages.” Today, most wedding ceremonies involve a religious service, which contains many traditional features that are significant to their cultures. Christian’s services contain wording that has been unchanged since the

They’re learning how they are not the same and how they come from different cultures, like a Latino child meeting an African American child. It creates good behavior in children to embrace another culture to understand culture. For the most part it’s are barley learning how to cooperate with other children from different ethnic backgrounds. offering opportunities for sharing cultural experience’s.

Religions affect the lives of its followers greatly because if you're a Muslim you have to pray five times a day, if you're a Jew you can't have any other gods, and if you believe in Buddhism you have to follow the middle path to stop suffering. All these rules you have to follow can take away time from you and can make you give up stuff you have, even make you leave money behind.

Marriage plays a huge role in religious practices, because of this, people that practice a religion tend to stay in their first marriage. A study found that people that were married under a religious ceremony are 30% less likely to separate over those who didn’t

Interracial Dating Interracial dating has many effects on people, from what they think to who they think they should date. Interracial couples are not only heterosexual but also among the LGBT community. Although they are all around, people seem to hold prejudice against couples, especially if there is a need to keep the family pure from other races. These types of families are usually the ones to hold the most prejudice among their children, trying to control who they date. Little research exists on interracial dating; however, available studies indicate that younger people, African-American and Caucasian men, college students, people from diverse backgrounds and those with a history of interracial dating tend to be the most likely to date

When choosing a partner, race and religion do not matter because interracial relationships nowadays are more common and accepted, and families with two separate religions can still remain faithful without converting.

Interracial marriages are not new and it’s so common to see a biracial child in a classroom, it is not uncommon for most people who have mixed children, there is a social and also, some psychological effect that can be arises from not seeing a child like a

To answer your question, I feel that over a period of time, if it has not already, interethnic marriages will change what society perceives as the social construction. I believe that when a society is seeing some repetitively, over time it will become the norm for that society.
