Answer:

Select one of the religions discussed in the text other than your own (if you do not have a religion, then select any one). Explore how your invovement in family and in political, economic, and educational institutions might be different if you were a member of that religion.

Respond: 

One of the religions discussed in the text other than my own was Buddhist. My involvement in family would be different because it would be my choice to marry if me and my partner are both happy. When many people get marry they have a ceremony, but Buddhist monks bless it. In political, economic, and educational it would be different for me because many Buddhist preached the doctrine of “Four Noble Truths. ” The economic will be different because many monks are beggars and they depend on laity for food and support. For education, I would spend all day in rituals, meditating, preaching etc.

Respond: 

If I were a Muslim and Islam was my religion it would have been somewhat different from the current religion that I believe in which is Christianity. If I were of an Islamic Religion my involvement in family would be 100% because they believe that family is the best thing you can have in order to grow up in a secure, healthy and nurturing environment. They also believe that the best way to pass on and develop human virtues such as love, kindness, mercy, and compassion is through family. As for as politics go my involvement with that would be positive since research says that they support it and contribute at a large, they believe in democracy and freedom and mainly follow the Quran which is a sacred religious text dedicated to Muhammad they also follow what is taught through it, however with my religion of Christianity some preachers and pastor follow close on politics, and are involved in elections, and encourages other people to vote with the Islamic religion they are also involved in voting whether it’s a president, senate, congressman, mayor, or even a governor. Lastly, is the educational institutions, there is considerable debate among scholars over the degree to which Islam has encouraged or discouraged secular education over the centuries. Some experts note that the first word of the Quran as it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad is “Iqra” which means “Read” or “Recite”; they say Muslims are urged to pursue knowledge in order to better understand God’s revealed word. Early Muslims made innovative intellectual contributions in such fields as mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, medicine and poetry. They established schools, often at mosques, known as katatib and madrasas. So education is something I would be involved in but it maybe different than the current education I go by now.
