Assignment 2: Comparative Religious Approaches The origins of Judaism and Hinduism are almost 4,000 years old. Buddhism arose from the teachings of a single Hindu teacher more than two thousand years ago. All three have changed and developed over the centuries. All three are very much alive today. Concentrating on their current forms, compare the approaches of the three religions to the basic religious questions: How should I think about ultimate reality (Hinduism)? Is there a Supreme Being (Judaism)? Should I even think of god, letting myself be my supreme authority (Buddhism)? What is the relationship of human beings to this reality (God)? What exactly is the concept of faith to each of these three religions? Is it the same as belief, or not? Consider all three religions and compare. How do these concepts of the Ultimate Reality, Supreme Being or self help address the following questions: What is wrong with the world, and how can I help to fix it? What am I supposed to do with my life? Consider the three religions, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism. In an essay of approximately 700 to 800 words in length, answer the questions listed above. Be sure to use appropriate APA format for citations and to include at least one reference for each religion. By the due date assigned post your essay in the Submisions Area .

Due date: January 12, 2018 Essay Assignment: For this assignment you are to compare and contrast the five religious traditions you are learning about this semester in regards to a particular theme that you select. These five religious traditions are: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In each chapter of your text there are comparative boxes. Each comparative box has a particular theme. Choose one of these boxes to discuss for your essay. For each religion, I have provided you with the corresponding text for each of these comparative boxes. You can find these documents under either the Modules or Pages link. Please refer to the Format Example below while reading the directions. Directions: You must satisfy all of the requirements for this assignment. 1. Comparative box: a. Pick one of the comparative boxes; find the full text of the references in the box and cut/paste these on the first page(s) of your assignment. b. At top of page state theme title and chapter from which it comes. 2. Comparative Essay: a. Explain the theme of your chosen comparative box. What does the theme mean? If your theme is about behavior or attitude, determine how do the religious scriptures instruct people to act and/or become? For example, for the “healing” theme – how do each of the religions guide their believers in healing? Is this an inner healing or an outer? Are we healing our souls, minds, entire being, our community, the world-at-large, etc? If your theme is about the nature of reality or some other metaphysical topic, determine how the religious scriptures inform people about how is the world. b.

Question 2: Write an essay which discusses the place of Buddhism in the world today. Discuss in some depth if you think it will become a more popular religion in the future and why you believe it will or will not. Buddhism dates back to around 2,500 years ago, when Siddhartha Gautama – better known as “the Buddha” – was enlightened and founded Buddhism. After two millenniums, Buddhists now represent 7.1% of our world population (Pew Research Center, 2010). It is incredible that one person changed the life of millions and millions of people that now add up to around 500 million. Even though this religion represents a great number of people, in my opinion, I believe that the number of Buddhists will decline in the future and become less of a popular religion because of a few reasons that I will go into more deeply in this essay. To begin with, in Buddhism, the Four Noble Truths are: “1. Suffering is inherent in life. 2. The cause of suffering is desire. 3. There is a way to put an end to desire and suffering. 4. The way is the Noble Eightfold Path.” (Brodd, 2013). Buddhism preaches that suffering can be eliminated though the Noble Eightfold Path, however, we live in a world where suffering is immense. We see innocent children dying, people hating on each other, wars, hunger, families separating, just to name a few issues that so many people face every day. I feel like Buddhism is a very hard religion to preach to people that are under these types of circumstances. Secondly, we live in a very superficial and materialistic world. Even though Buddhists live the “principle of the Middle way” as the foundation of their religion, not many people would like to renounce to all of their worldly attachments. I believe that every day, more people want a more comfortable religion that does not ask that much of them. Thirdly, Buddhism is an “atheistic religion” or at least a “transtheistic”, which means that either they do not believe in any gods, or they acknowledge their existence, but it is basically unimportant when it comes to the “quest for enlightenment”. In the world, more than 70% of the global population, is part of a religion that believes in a range from one to many gods (Pew Research Center, 2010). But in the end, an enormous percentage of the world population believes in God or gods. It is very hard to think of a religion, where god will be just acknowledged but not cared for. I think that this is a particular thing that will make Buddhism decline in its popularity. Now a day, it is important to at least believe that there is a greater force beyond this world that will eventually make things better – consolation of promise. In conclusion, Buddhism encompasses at least 500 million people in the world, which is roughly 7.1% of our population (Pew Research Center, 2010). But in my opinion, this religion will become less popular in the future because of its ideas that suffering can be eliminated by following the Noble Eightfold Path, bec ...

Question 2: Write an essay which identifies and explains the common core concepts in which most every Hindu believes, and elaborate on the place of these concepts and their interrelationship in the Hindu religious perspective. “A religion suitable for every lifestyle and personality” Hinduism is a religion that was born in India. But, unlike many religions, Hinduism “has neither a single founder nor a single sacred book” (Brood, 2013). Instead, Hinduism has evolved and changed over the centuries and has a fluid character that has allowed it to “adapt to a variety of social and cultural contexts” (Brood, 2013). Because of this, there are many different ways to practice Hinduism and many different ideals within it. In this essay, I will talk about the common core concepts in which every Hindu believes, regardless of their more specific beliefs. First of all, all Hindus believe in reincarnation. In Hinduism, the “soul or self” is called atman. Atmans are destined to reincarnate into different bodies after death. Each reincarnation is determined by karma. Karma is the “consequences of action” (Brood, 2013), so depending on your actions in one particular life, you will reincarnate in something as an effect of those actions after your death. This repeatedly cycle is called samsara and the final and ideal objective is to end in liberation – or moshka. “The quest for moshka, for liberating oneself from samsara, is extremely challenging” (Brood, 2013). To achieve freedom of the atman, Hinduism proposes three different paths: Karma marga, Bhakti marga, and Jnana marga. These three paths are diverse to suite different personalities and life situations. The first, is for those engaged in family and career and it focuses on dharma – “the duty to live in a manner that upholds cosmic and social order” (Brood, 2013). The second one is often referred to as the “path of devotion” and it is the most widely practiced. This path is for those who worship a deity in temples or even their homes. The last one of the margas, focuses on spiritual insight. It requires discipline and contemplation of sacred texts. In this path, yoga plays an important role. None of these paths are mutually exclusive and they are for the most part, people mix them in their lives depending on their situations. Another thing common to all Hindus is that belief that there is a greater being, or God. However, there are two different beliefs about divine reality. The first is Monism, which thinks that “all reality is ultimately one” (Brood, 2013). And the other one, is Dualism; where God is a separate entity from the individual and can therefore, devote to him. Monistic Hindus, believe in Braham as the “supreme, unitary reality… source of all being and all knowing” (Brood, 2013); whereas Dualistic Hindus believe in one God that can take the form of many deities. Nonetheless, there are not many gods in Hinduism, but rather many manifestations of only one God - Brahman. Finally, I will tal ...

Address the following questions: What was the situation? What did the dilemma involve? What would a subjective moral relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that? What would a cultural relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that? Is that approach correct? What did you the person confronting the dilemma decide to do? What moral justification did they give? Is that approach morally correct? Was there an objective moral truth (the objectively right thing to do) in this situation? Why or why not? Remember, the dilemma should be detailed with description and dialogue.

Essay 1: generally good content; but some issues with content as noted and some writing issues Essay 2: good content, but writing issues in several places Essay 3: good content, but lots of writing issues Religion and Society 1. What is the “sociological perspective” and how does it impact the way we study religion? How is it different from non-social scientific (philosophical, theological) approaches to the study of religion? From other social scientific (psychological, anthropological) approaches? The sociological perspective is a way of looking at religion that focuses on the human especially social aspects of religious belief and practice. It has two characteristics that separate it from non-scientific approaches to religion. It is empirical and objective. Sociologists usually try as much as possible to base their interpretations on empirical evidence. “They verify their images and explanations of social reality by experimental or experienced evidence. The objectivity in the sense that they do not attempt to evaluate accept or reject the content of religious beliefs .In the sociological perspective there is no religion that is superior to the other. One religion is not superior to another. Indeed the perspective does not presume the merits of religious over non-religious approaches. But if a religion has ideas on these subjects, it examines them and tries to understand them. There are two central sociological perspectives which are: substantative and functional. Substantative tries to establish what religion is. It attempts to establish categories of religious content that qualify as religion and other categories specific as non-religion. Functional describes what religion does. It emphasizes what religion does for individual and social group. Accordingly religion is defined by the social functions it fulfills in the society It emphasizes on the provision of meaning because the establishing of shared meaning is an essentially social event. The sociological perspective impacts on the way we study religion in various ways. The aspects of the sociological perspective on religion may create elude a bad feeling to students who find their cherished beliefs and practices dispassionately treated as object of study as stipulated in (http://fasnafan.tripod.com/religion.pdf).Normal human beings due to their nature tend to feel bad when they find their religion becoming the subject of discussion and study. They feel that those people are abusing and disregarding their religion. It may be disturbing to have one’s own religion treated as comparable to other religions and not as superior or uniquely true.maybe maybe not---you need proof to make this claim--not just ideas Also true, but awkward writingwhat the sociologist and the believer hold about a certain religion may be contradicting. What is central to the sociologist may be irrelevant and uninteresting to th ...

Mark Danner writes that El Mozote epitomized, “the classic debate of the late Cold War: between those who argued that … the United States had no choice but to go on supporting a ‘friendly’ regime, however disreputable … and those who insisted that the country must be willing to wash its hands of what had become a morally corrupting struggle.” (9) In what ways was the massacre at El Mozote framed by the terms of that debate?

Mark describes his use of Technical Reasoning as the following: "When I was 8 years old, I took apart my brand new computer just to see the inside. My parents weren’t too happy about that! I thought it was fun to play with the components and learning how it all worked. As an adult, I challenged myself to build a computer with a limited budget and all used parts.
