Environmental concerns
Jain responses
Although the final goal of Jainism transcends earthly concerns, 1 Jainism is, in essence, a religion of ecology, of a sustainable lifestyle, and of reverence for life. Their religion's entire emphasis is on life consonant with ecology. 2
Jain people can use their experience of applying non-violent principles in meeting the present ecological needs. Their religion presents a worldview that stresses the interrelatedness of all forms of life (Jiva). Its attendant ethics, which is based on obligations, might easily be extended to embrace an earth ethics.
The Jiva is to be respected. As a highly evolved form of life, human beings have a great moral responsibility in their mutual dealings and relationships with the rest of the universe. It is this ethical responsibility that made the Jain tradition a cradle for the creed of environmental protection and harmony.
Jainism is a religion of compassion – it aims at the welfare of all living beings. An important principle of Jainism is expressed in Sutrakrta-anga (1.11.33) as follows: "A man should wander about treating all creatures as he himself would be treated." 3 Inflicting an injury to other beings is inflicting injury to oneself. Ahimsa is the concept of non-violence, the injunction of not harming living beings. It is one of the foremost doctrines of Jainism. It has emerged from the doctrine of the equality of all souls. It grew from the belief in reincarnation: a person might come back in the form of an animal or insect, no living creature ought ever to be harmed.
As in Buddhism, and Hindusm, Jain ethics assert that any violence has harmful effects on those who commit it, with consequent ill effects in terms of karma.
"Ahimsa-paramo-dharmah," non-injury to living beings, is one of the basic virtues. To kill a living being is the greatest of sins. Flowing from the Jain principle of non-violence is the tenet of reverence for all life -- not just human life but extending to animal life and, in theory, even to the vegetable kingdom. Jains' practice of non-violence fosters an attitude of respect for all life forms. 4 All living beings are regarded as equal. Jainism insists that there must be no destruction, at least no destruction that has not first been responsibly considered 2 There should be compassion for all living beings at every step of daily life. For the Jains, ahimsa has come to embody one’s willingness to separate oneself not merely from acts of injury or killing, but also from the entire mechanism of aggression, possession, and consumption that is so common in the world.
To prevent even accidental damage to creatures, Jains may wear nose masks to prevent inhalation of insects. They may sweep the ground clear ahead of them. Some do not wash for fear of killing body lice or other parasites. Although Jain laypeople might participate in tree planting projects, their nuns and monks likely would not. This is be-cause of the harm that may be cau ...

Religion Comparison
Part 1: Hinduism Overview
Hinduism has no founder, but an integration of different beliefs. Its development was influenced by the nomadic Aryan Indo-European races that occupied Northern India. The religions originated from Russia and Central Asia as they attacked the Harappans residing in the area. Veda is the oldest scripture in Hindu that means wisdom and knowledge. It has hymns, prayers and ritual texts introduced during in the ancient times. The secret teachings in Hindu are known as the Upanishads, and it includes the mystical concepts of man and the universe.
Hinduism has a term known as Ramayan and is one of the significant Indian tales. Puranas is a vital source used to understand Hinduism, and it includes the legends, gods, and demons. A common feature between Hinduism and other religions is that most of its festivals fall in two classes (Doniger, 2010). There are those who celebrate saints and others celebrating notable scriptural events. Om is a symbol in Hinduism and used in meditation. The swastika is another symbol associated with a negative connotation in other parts across the world while in Hinduism, it is a sign of luck and fortune.
Part 2: Compare and Contrast Two Religions
Religion 1
Hinduism
Religion 2
Jainism
Similarities
Differences
Points of origin
Jainism and Hinduism came from India. Moreover, they are all knows as the traditional faiths of the Indians.
The existence of Atma
The two religions accept the reality of Atma, also known as the soul. They believe in the immortality of the soul. In the contexts of both religions, the physical body can die, but the spirit that inhabits it lives on and leads to reincarnation.
The ideas of Moska, Karma, and Reincarnation
Jainism and Hinduism both believe in Karma. Karma can refer to the good or bad. They also believe in reincarnation, the idea of life after death (Babb, 2015). Both religions also believe in moska, the liberation from the cycle of life and death. However, the meaning of these concepts is different in each religion.
Temples and Idols
The religious activities in both religions are similar. They both have temples and conduct idol worshiping. They also have times when they fast as a way of worship and purification of the soul.
The concept of Karma
In Hindu, Karma is an essence of transgression to atone for blessings to get in the next life. Jains consider Karma a kind of activity that attaches to the soul in each life. While Hindus try to do the right thing to atone for the spiritual debt, Jains follow actions intended to clean the soul of a polluting nature.
The idea of Moksha
Hindus believe that Moksha and liberation take place where the soul meets the universal soul and results to eternal life in Vishnu’s territory. The Jains considers moksha an activity-less and tranquil that is said to take place in Siddhabhumi.
Animal Sacrifices
Jainism do not engage in ani.

World ReligionsReligionOrigin of All ThingsNature of God/CreatorView of Human NatureView of Good and EvilView of "Salvation"View of After LifePractices and RitualsCelebrations and FestivalsMost indigenous peoples have creation stories where they believe the Creator or Great Father in the Sky made the earth, the animals and all humans. Many believe that they have lost touch or even forgotten about a Creator that their ancestors knew, but disobeyed. They believe the dark gods of the spirit world are the ones to be afraid of or to placate. Thus they believe that the Creator God, if there is one, is distant, removed and angry with them.Humans are often seen as lost or wandering from a true path that was lost to the ancestors long ago. Humans are seen as capable of good or bad and under the influence of curses, vows, incantations, or evil spirits. In this sense, they may be animistic. Many have a special shaman or witch doctor who is supposed to help them connect to the spirit worldGood and evil are seen as forces that compete for dominance in a person and in the world. Sometimes there is an ethnocentric idea that ‘our’ group is the good one and all outsiders are ‘bad’. This idea can lead to wars and conflicts.The idea of the path or the way or a lifeway is their main idea of salvation. It is the path to the good. This idea is closely aligned with a responsibility for nature and this world. Oneness with nature is for some seen as a goal of life. Others see ‘salvation’ as surviving and not being defeated by the dark spirits, thus having a long life.Some groups have a notion of an afterlife, but others do not. For example, some Native American groups believe in a “Happy Hunting Ground’ or that one goes to be with the ancestors and/or the Great Spirit. Many indigenous peoples are terrified of death and use their rituals to ward it off.Varies by country or group. Some have animal sacrifices or smoke various substances in a ritualistic manner. Dance is often used to express stories and tales of the tribe or group or the gods. Body decoration, paint, garments and drums are often used in the ritual dances. To placate the spirits, they may also cut themselves or in some cases engage in cannibalism or headhunting. An example: the Sawi people of New Guinea make peace with an enemy by swapping infants between the tribes. As long as the children live there will be peace between the two tribes. One family per tribe agrees to take in the other child and give up their own. Varies by country or group. Some have celebrations tied to the seasons of the year. Others have celebrations of victory in war or at weddings. The birth of children is often a time of great celebration. Death is universally observed in various ways depending on the culture and local beliefs. The finding of good prey when hunting would be a cause for celebration as well. Communal meals are common. For example: the Native Americans shared food with the Pilgrims who came to America. .

World Religions: Mandatory Essay
The Idea of Maya
In Hinduism, the word ‘Maya’ holds a very strong place and people possess strong perceptions about it. The word actually means ‘illusion’ or something that is actually not real but still people run behind it and try to chase it in their lives. Money, wealth, and all kinds of materialistic items are associated with this word by the intellectuals of the religion. In this sense, the word Maya holds somewhat negative image. At the same time, the same word holds a positive connotation as well as people relate it to something that is the raw material or actual force behind the creation of all the things in the whole universe. So, according to this religious school of thought, Maya is everything that the whole universe is made up of. To call the world and it belonging with the word Maya means that we are actually putting into focus those people who hold false perceptions about the world and universe and for them, everything is Maya. If we look at the world as only an amalgamation of people are things, then the word is Maya for us. In reality, it is just an illusion since the world is far more than just a mixture of people and things and it is a vast topic to be talked about.
Usually, people look at the materialistic, sold, and practical aspects of this world and that is why the concept of Maya has been introduced. In reality, the world is made up of thoughts and dreams and it takes different forms like a magic. Believers of this school of thought believe that the whole universe is acting because of unimaginable magic and everything takes another form when it is destroyed or is killed/dead.
The Idea of Anatta
Buddhism holds the idea of Anatta or Anatma which means ‘no self’ or no permanent self and soul in human beings. This idea clearly rejects the ideas of Hinduism about the cycle of life and rebirth of all creatures because they possess a soul. They believe that there is no soul in human beings and these are just concepts made by human mind. They hold a firm believe that world is made up of humans and microorganisms who die at certain stages and got decayed. So there is no concept of spiritual souls or anything like that. They also believe that only those things have got ‘self’ and value which we can see and touch and which are made out of bodies and minds. While the concept of eternal source is illusion and does not hold any logic and is made up because of human thoughts, imagination, and expectations.
Buddhism highly holds believe on the objective realty of the world and only those things are real which we can feel with our body and soul and to practice the right path, one needs to understand these concepts.
Hinduism-Brahman, Atman, Samsara and Moksha
Brahman is the Holistic nature of the true believers as they all follow same thoughts and hold same perceptions about everything. Brahman is a concept that is just ‘known’. Being a Bahaman is to believ ...

Cosmogony - Origin of the Universe
This religion believes in reincarnation and as a result of the cycles the origin of the universe cannot be clearly stated. Still, this chaos of births and deaths is controlled by three Gods, brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
Nature of God/Creator
Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are responsible for holding the world together. Brahma creates a world which is preserved by Vishnu and Shiva destroys the world so it can be rebuilt again,
View of Human Nature
Humans have a ritualistic life, giving proper sacrifices to thegods, get married and have children. Humans then live their lives according to the teachings of the religious texts.
View of Good & Evil
Good and evil are viewed on a lens of relativity. As such, depending on the point of view, what is good or evil changes. What brings happiness is termed good and that which brings pain is evil. This then states that what is good or evil is simply a matter of the mind.
View of Salvation
Called moksha, it involves attainment of enlightenment and being liberated from the cycle of life and death.
View of After Life
The belief in reincarnation means that life after death is believed to be the rebirth into a new body.
Practices and Rituals

BUDDHISM
WEEK 3
Cosmogony - Origin of the Universe
With his belief in cycles and birth, Buddha stated that determining the origin of the universe is inconceivable and cannot be explained. Buddha said of humans hunger to find the origin of everything as a poverty of thoughts.
Nature of God/Creator
Buddhism does not recognize the existence of a creator and present mankind as the vessels to their own destiny.
View of Human Nature
Buddhism teachings elaborate on self-originating change to oneself through meditation and following the teachings of Buddha. Meditation helps in training the mind which can then gain control of the body as a result. This enables the mind to be fully aware of thoughts and actions and promotes compassion towards others. The aim of humans is to attain a state of total enlightenment.
View of Good & Evil
Buddhism originates good and evil from human preference. As a result, overcoming evil is simply done by changing preference. Evil stems from a bout of desire. A tenet of Buddhism is the eight-fold path. Adhering to this will take away the desire that would have caused evil.
View of Salvation
Buddhism is about attaining a state of enlightenment, an understanding of oneself and the readiness and .

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Biocentrism was defined by Lanza and Barman .
It is the belief that the needs and rights of human
beings are not more important than those of
other living things.
It puts great emphasis on equal consideration for
all living things.
Biocentrism beliefs and theories have closely
been associated with indigenous traditional
practices .

3. Kami
Principle of kami in Shinto practices focus on
power of nature and the universe.
Kami is a spirit that was created from heavens
and is present in all objects.
Uniqueness of Shinto tradition lies in the belief
the spirits of kami.
They be it lives in all animals and objects of the
universe.
Shinto believers assert kami is found in
inanimate animals, objects, physical features as
well as plants

There is acceptance of biocentric perspective
in plants and animals .
Shinto believers have great reverence for all
plants and animals.
They believe the kami spirit dwells in all living
things and objects.

5. Ethical Implications of Kami
Belief
Kami principle is attributed to realization of self-
awareness among Shinto believers.
Shinto’s doctrine of kami emphasis importance of
appreciating oneself as well as objects in the
universe.
Yamakage (2012) makes the argument that belief
that kami exists in all living things .
The spiritual world, through kami has been
transformed into bodies of plants and animals.
Co-existence between humans and constituents of
the ecosystem has contributed to interaction that is
harmonious between flora and fauna in the
ecosystem.

6. Karma
Karma doctrine is a major fundamental pillar
in Hinduism.
Karma states that actions/thoughts of
individual results to the outcome in their
lives.
These can be immediately, in near future or in
some cases, in the afterlife.
Through incarnation, the soul of an individual
continues its journey suffering repercussions .

7. Karma Doctrines and
biocentric worldviews
Large percentage of Hindus have adopted
vegetarian diets.
They are motivated by incarnation and karma
beliefs.
These are that they could be hurting their
relatives who might have transformed into
animals in their afterlife.
They are known as Jains.
These are pure vegetarians.

8. Ethical Implications of the
Karma Doctrine
Actions of an individual are related directly to
their consequences.
Hindus thus practice righteousness and
embraced harmony.
Vegetarians have also indirectly contributed
to maintenance of ecosystem.
Adoption of conservative approach in their
relationships with both wild and domestic
animals.

9. Similarities between the
Concept of Kami and Karma
Both these concepts lay emphasis on the role
played by the universe .
This balances coexistence between the
different elements of the environment.
Two traditions focus on individual
consequences in future.
These indicate roles of a believer’s effort in
attainment of spiritual state and self-
righteousness.

10. Differences between the
Concept of Karma and Kami
They are guiding doctrines to believers of Shinto
and Hinduism.
Karma consequences are likely to be experienced
by believers in afterlife.
Hindus strongly believe that they might be
transformed to other organisms in their afterlife.
Presence of spirits within the organism
demonstrates the belief of kami from the karma
doctrine.
Karma however, does not entail spiritual
possession of influence of a God.
