Religion Shaped Inter Cultural Interaction

Religion creates division between humans because of the historical values and stories that are pasted down throughout the centuries yet many of the stories have very similar backgrounds. This division begins with the teachings of the religion to its followers and the degree to which they implement the teachings into their own lives. Humans have a distinct internal drive to be on top and in the best groups.

Religion played a huge influence in the development of western civilization so a good place to start is the medieval times. Charles Martel, mayor of the franks stopped the Muslim invasion from much of Europe at the battle of tours so there was little Muslim influence to the western civilization. This allowed a very powerful Christian Church to emerge and religion to flourish. Religion was very important for the middle ages and in reality it became the most powerful force in Europe. The teachings and practices played a major part in reshaping the lives of the European Christians. One of the most important achievements of the Church was to Christianize the diverse people in Western Europe. Religion influenced the development of western civilization through Monks and Nuns, power, reforming to change the church, and corruption against other nations.

Religion had an immense effect on the people and how they interact with one another.

Through history, religion has shaped civilizations in several aspects. In ancient Indian and Egyptian civilizations it was very strong shaping force in political structures, but both the religious beliefs and the resulting political system were different, just like pharaohs were different from rajas.

Religion has played a big part of history around the world. Through religion we have learned so much about different cultures, beliefs and Traditions. Some of the religions that we discover in history are still dominate religions until this day. The Christianity and Islam Religion are two of the most practiced religions around the world today. From Christianity and Islam you get Christians and Muslims. The Christians and Muslims during the Crusades have similar and not so similar views on personal virtues and religious practices.

Religion means a lot for the individuals today, for example the religion Christianity has a following of 2 billion people that is quarter of the people in the world and that causes war and conflict. These wars are started because people fight over which religion is real and which one is fake. So Christianity had the pacifist tradition which is to be able to become a roman soldier they had to make a sacrifice swearing an alliance to Cesar. Christians believe picking up sword

In a national sense, religious belief and identity can separate whole nations from one another, like in the case of Ireland and England, one of the defining differences is our belief in a different branch of Christianity. This can have disastrous effects on the world as a whole. Religion can be held accountable for the majority of warfare and bloodshed in the world today as nations attack each over their differing beliefs and ideals. Many nations will use religion and beliefs to try to justify the awful atrocities they commit on one another. In this sense, religion

The prospects of religion were heavily influenced within the cultural exchange of different societies. As a result of the exchange, many aspects of media were influenced by religion throughout both history, as well as present day society.

Religion has become an integral part in human existence among all races. Different people and cites define religion in different ways. Merriam Webster defines it as “an organized system of beliefs ceremonies and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods.” In the world we have different religions that include Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism Islam and Judaism. In this research I will bring about the relationship and differences in the early Christianity and Buddhism religions. The early Christianity tackles the period of the first council in Nicea in 325 to the period after the death of Jesus which many refer to as apostolic age. The worship and belief of a superhuman controlling power are what we call religion. The dominant

Religion is the belief or faith without reason of a divine body that governs the natural order of the world. In the past it was believed that the divine body was the cause of everything that happened in the natural world, like diseases, natural disasters the rain and every other thing that happened in the world. The two most renowned religions are Christianity and Islam, Christianity was one of the first major religions of the world and at a point it played a major part in the politics of the world. There were a few battles that went on between the Christianity and Islam, these battles were caused by territorial battles, differences in belief and conversion of pagans to a particular religion. Christianity dominated as the major religion for a long time in the past, old rulers used to kill pagans or followers of other religions. The ruling in the past was if a king or the ruler of a city were to be a follower of a particular religion all of the people under him had to convert to that religion. The religious ideas of the past were not gotten from the use of

Throughout time religion has influenced civilizations in a range of aspects. For instance, Catholicism influenced kings and nations in ancient Europe in the similar manner Polytheism influenced the Rome Empire. Religion has the power to cause wars, such as the Catholic Crusades. Yet, the main power is the ability to mask the true intentions of people.

We see the importance of religion in early civilizations and throughout history by the way it was valued. Religion has always been a significant part in the lives of humans and was a source of spirituality for many people. However, religion and religious beliefs also caused conflicts, skepticism, and disaster. Throughout history, we have seen frequent clashes among different religions. Similarly, we have seen individuals force their beliefs onto others and persecute those who didn’t comply. We have even seen people committing terrible acts in the sake of their religion. Up until the Renaissance, people solely focused on religion for answers. However, during the Renaissance period, humans began discovering for themselves the mysteries of the universe. The authority of the church began to be questioned and new interest in learning, classical literature, and art and major changes took place within these areas. Many new theories were proposed which changed the church centric authority. However, even though religious power was questioned and the significance of the secular world was stressed, religion continued to be valued. Religious conflict continued throughout the reformation period, with a great amount of wars taking place and contrasting views. During this period, a majority of Christians broke away from Catholicism to create

In the macrocosm of life, there are several features that culminate together to form an individuals existence. However, there are three major features that often dictate the course of an individual 's life. Those facets are communication, religion, and culture. Communication, as a field of study, is arguably one of the most extensive and elaborate topics. Regardless of the station of life, the sector of work, or complexity of establishment, communication is used. Communication is necessary for life to function. Not only that, but it is especially necessary for life to function well. With this in mind, it becomes easier for one to recognize it 's importance. In the same way, religion can be identified as another major facet of an

They became the cornerstone of many earlier and later civilizations. Even today many countries, especially those in the Middle East, have religious leaders who work with the government to enact laws and “guide” the spiritual aspect of the lives of their citizens. Unfortunately, with such strong beliefs and convictions can come conflict. This conflict can be on a small scale, such as discrimination against those who don’t share the same beliefs to full-scale war which was the case in the first Crusades. In more recent times we have seen mass genocides of people based in part on religious beliefs such as the annihilation of the Jews during the Second World War. Today we see it played out in acts of terrorism, jihads. Religion is a powerful tool that can be used both to help and enrich the lives of people or used as justification for intolerance against others.
