Module 8 Assignment Analysis

Although religions today take on many shapes and forms, and may seem so dramatically different from each other, in order to study and understand these religions, their similarities must be identified.

Then this paper will examine the common practices and experiences that are present in both the primary religions of the world, as well as the indigenous religions. Finally, this paper will discuss the issues that are critical to the academic study of religions.

One of the greatest controversies occurring today holds prominently in religion. These issues lies mainly with tradition, politics, gender, multiculturalism, violence, and sex. Religion is continuously evolving and so is society. With all this change controversy is inevitable. Problems with religion surround us: in the workplace, at school, in society, and politics. Religion is a very broad topic and according to Wikipedia, there are an estimated 4,200 religions in the world.

Thank you for sharing your post. I found it incredible enlightening to read how this assignment worked in a clinical setting with real clients. I enjoyed reviewing your check in questions as well as your choice to integrate a video, which I would assume is helpful for the visual learners and those new to breathing exercises. Through collectively sharing their positive coping mechanisms in response to anger, the participants are able to learn from each other. It is great that you were able to challenge the group to reflect on additional coping skills regularly utilized.

The Functionalist perspective emphasises the positive contributions of religion to society and tends to ignore its dysfunctional aspects. With its preoccupation with harmony, integration and solidarity, Functionalism neglects the many instances where religion can be seen as a divisive and disruptive force. It gives very little consideration to hostility between religious groups within the same society, such as catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland or Hindus and Muslims in India. In such cases religion can be seen as a direct threat to society instead of ‘keeping it peaceful’. Hate is a human problem. It is a manifestation of anger, pride, greed, struggle for power and other human flaws. The Palestinians don’t hate Israelis because they are Jewish; they hate

There are many religions that people currently practice. In some cases, one religion is practiced among different cultures, such as Islam. Islam is a religion that is constantly expending and increasing in numbers of believers. It is known, that this religion is practiced not only in Arabic countries, where is originally came from, but we can find its worshipers in America and Europe as well. In this project, I will explain what Islam is, I will review the teachings of this religion with emphasize on object of human creation, view of faith, and beliefs. Next, I will describe how Islam is practiced and who Muslims are among different countries, such as Great Britain and America. Also, I will go over the interaction between Muslims and non-Muslims and briefly describe similarities and differences between both groups. In addition, I will explain how Islam is contrasted with Christianity and Judaism.

Conflict resolution is a key tenet of most of the world’s major religions. Each of the religions addresses the subject: whether directly, indirectly, or symbolically. Amongst the examples in many of the religious texts include the ending of wars, resolving oppression and the making of peace amongst many people. What also makes conflict resolution a key facet of religion is that it can lead to order from chaotic conditions, allowing for the unification of many people in the absence of other means of effective governance and in perpetuating a group of people’s survival for resources. However, it is long known that there is a constant struggle and conflict between the religions in various regions throughout the world. Conflict resolution within the five major religions has allowed for the expansion of individual religions but has placed it into conflict with other major religions.

Islam is an exceedingly scandalous and sensitive subject in today’s world, and there are many misunderstandings about its beliefs, values, and goals. It is believed that most Muslims live in the Middle East, when in reality; Islam is practiced in many different cultures and many different ways, like Judaism and Christianity. Prophet Mohammad acknowledged the religion practices. The Islamic core beliefs are called the Articles of Faith; they are Belief in One God, Belief in Angels, Belief in Prophets of God, Belief in Revealed Book of God, Belief in Day of Judgment, and Belief in Destiny and Divine Decree. Mofty, C states in his article that these are the collective essential theories that Muslims share. “In, Islam, worship is part of daily life and is not limited to mere rituals” Mofty, C meant by this that the act of worship in this religion is know as the five “pillars”, which are the testimony of faith, prayer, fasting, charity, and pilgrimage. Islam is the second largest religion in the world, followed by the largest, Christianity.

The Islam religion is largely misunderstood. People have misconceptions about the Islam religion, and its beliefs and rituals. Often, the media paints a dim view of Islam with inaccurate accounts and news stories. Non- Muslims view of Islam have been shaped by the constant media barrage of inaccurate news stories blaming all of Islam. When some Americans think of Muslims what comes to mind is the World Trade Center Attacks on September 11, 2001. Especially after the attacks many view all Muslims as “radicals” which refers to terrorism and Anti-Americanism. The Islam religion seems strange to most in the modern world. To Muslim’s, religion is always the foremost thought in their mind they do not make a division between secular and sacred. Islam means “surrender” to the will of God. It is a way of life that encourages one to give due attention to a relationship with God and His creation. In this paper, I intend to discuss the true beliefs of the Islamic Religion. I will also discuss women of Islam, Islam vs. Christianity, and Islam vs. Judaism.
