The World And Its Impact On Society

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.

On the other more extreme side of things, religious persecution can be extremely fatal, leading to loss of life over differing beliefs and attitudes. Just look at today’s political climate. ISIS, an extremist radical group known for being religiously charged, takes credit for virtually every act of mass violence across the world. This has caused people all over the world to be afraid of Muslims even though their religion really has nothing to do with these acts of violence. People have made the religion out to be the problem when that isn’t the issue.

Many of the ancient and historical conflicts are believed to be connected to religion in a various ways and proven that religion can be used as an excuse for violence. For instance, The Crusade Wars ended in the brutality of both Christians and Muslims during the mass dispute (Burton 1984). The Jews have perpetrated massacres through nations for the solitary reason to attain their belief. During the reformation of Christians thousands of people were killed because of their religion. In Yugoslavia, the war in 1991 pitted Orthodox Christians, Muslims, and Catholics against each other in a brutal combat (Avalos 2005). Also, thousands of monks were being persecuted in Burma

Is there a god? This is a question that all types of people regardless of their religion have been asking for hundreds of years. If there is, why did the holocaust happen? Why is North Korea in the totalitarian state they are in now? These hypothetical questions can not be answered 100% correctly, however people from different religions have different explanations as to why god/god’s let bad things happen. This begs the question, is religion a worthwhile and beneficial practice for humans? The answer to that question is yes, religion is a worthwhile and beneficial practce for humans.

In a forever evolving universe, it is not uncommon for human beings to experience apprehension when it comes to the idea of change. While some are passionately working towards the future, others are struggling to grasp onto the remnants of the past. New generations are being born and with every new generation comes an increasingly advanced perspective of the world. Traditional ideals and ways of life are continuously expanding and becoming something that may be unrecognizable to some and unheard of to others. With this being said, however, there is one thing that will never be completely new: the concept of religion.

For most of human existence religion has been a key ideology that has this sort of power to bring individuals together and give them a sense of belonging. But during our same Human history it has shown us that we will go through great lengths to prove that we are right about about our beliefs against others beliefs and will be willing to do anything to prove it. The crusades was a hateful and terrible part of our human history that shows the worst that humanity can be. Because of this time period in our history thousands of lives were loss for false causes that tricked and used people through their faith to fight each other for multiple centuries for

Also, when the people destroy and vandalize the churches in Egypt. My perceptions are that’s not safe, we live as we live in a forest and everyone wants to kill the other. We should take action to change these problems. For example, protest, and get a goal to let men and women have equal treatment and the same rights. I think that the people who use the prejudice, they learn and used to be like that, hating people and treat them with a superior way.

The most common, (one of the most common) yet the most horrifying, displays of social injustices upon religions are genocides. During the 20th century, there have been many mass murders of people groups. Most were motivated to a significant degree by religious beliefs. A genocide that had a global effect was Adolf Hitler and the Nazi’s organized extermination of about 11 million people including 6 million

Humanity has undertaken forms of religious activities for thousands of years. Archaeologists credit early homo sapiens with expressing the first form of religious activities in the intentional burial of their dead as long as 300,000 years ago. The Bible gives accounts of Abraham and even some before him, worshipping the God of the Bible and forming Judaism 2,000 years before Christ. Accounts of Hinduism date back to 1,500 years before Christ. Some form of religion or another has certainly been around for many years and religion in itself has undergone many changes to arrive at what we know it as today.

Religion was discovered back in 2000 BC and is considered to be a trait common to cultures worldwide to this day. Some use religion as a way to cope, to connect, but few could use religion as a weapon against others. Since religion began, over 195,035,000 lives have been lost in tragedies brought on in the name of faith. Regardless of the brutality religion has created, it has also caused others to come together in order to speak out. As a result of religions regression in society, humans are able to progress for the sake of defending human rights.

Through the course of history, we come across heroes, villains, spies, criminals, explorers, dictators, and religious and social leaders. We study these people through a series of different lens, in the same sorts that biologists study cells or DNA. We, as historians, look at people, through the course of history, in order to better comprehend the impact of human events on the development of global societies and communities. Generally, every person bares some culpability in terms of construction or destruction of civilizations, colonies, or countries. When it comes to the study of American History, we tend to focus on the presidents, assassins, or military leaders. We study some people for who they are their accomplishments, achievements, inspirations, and dedications. We look at how they helped progress America, and in some cases, we look at how they ruined America. One former president gets the popularity of either being America’s top leader or most questioned. Our seventh president, Andrew Jackson, from the state of Tennessee, has become one of the most popular and studied. He is nicknamed King Jackson, King Andrew, and “Old Hickory.” President Andrew Jackson’s life and presidency however, I will present the arguments of our colleagues and past scholars on the perspective of Andrew Jackson.

Religion has been a powerful force in human history. Mankind has longed and searched for the answers to its purpose, the reason for being and the possibility of life after physical death. They reasoned that an afterlife would be a place of accounting and reckoning for the life they lived on earth. Religious belief systems seemed to give the answers as to how to prepare for the afterlife. Religion became the means of giving answers to those basic yet deep-seated questions of both life and death. Religion provided a format of rules and laws for conduct and treatment toward others based on the desires and wishes of a god or gods that people envisioned, imagined or invented. Religious belief systems have been a powerful force for good and bad...good in the sense that it provided a measure of individual behavior and order in society for the wellbeing of the whole, but bad in the sense that men of ambition who craved power and control over others would often use religion as a tool of manipulation and fear. A casual glance of history tells us that complete civilizations have been built, grown and maintained around elaborate religious systems, ancient Egypt being a prime example.

As a student of religion I have learnt that religion is an indispensable part of human life. History shows that every religion, it may be revealed or not, has risen in the crucial moment of the human history. According to the Semitic tradition human history has began with Adam and Eve, first prophet in Abrahamic tradition. In Indian tradition, though God is omnipresent but he directly intervened into this world, what we called Avatara, to make a clear distinction between right and wrong. In primitive society also people’s lives were highly motivated with religious affiliation.

Even though the mandatory killings and public burnings have stopped, there is still rampant discrimination caused by the remnants of this mentality. The stigma caused by organized religion, even though our world slowly regains its idea of equality,

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.
