What is the Purpose of Religion?


In humanities class we were given 2 different papers each containing a question we answered in class. For this assignment I am suppose to answer the question on entirely what I think and this is what I think....

What is the Purpose of Religion?
The purpose of religion can mean many different things for many different religions but in general I think the purpose of religion is to make you believe in something. That makes you believe and see the good of life. Reincarnation is a believe that shows you that there is an endless cycle of life and death, but then you reach the point when you stop the cycle and reach a peaceful state. Also what I think is the purpose of religion is to make you see that everybody is equal and you must always try to be the most respectful you can be, as well as kindness and peace. Buddhism for example if you really see, it is mostly based on peace kindness and respect.

Freedom


Name of Essay: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

The belief that is being discussed is the Belief of Freedom. The essay was a very nice way to show how liberty is very much like freedom as well as how life can have so much freedom and he discusses that he believes lots of people to have freedom and freedom of speech and also he believes in the pursuit of happiness which is forgiveness and to keep searching for what you seek. I really like the vocabulary he used which made his essay very detailed and his believes and what he had to say about them were good beliefs which also interested me as well. He also put the meaning of equality in his essay

Recently Mr. Whiting came to our classroom and told us our learning profile. My learning profile is L. Which means I am Gestalt and I am more of a big picture person.

I learn best when there is something to visualize and something for me to see as an example, seeing an example makes it easier for me to work. I need to position my self on the left side of the room for my right ear, eye, hand, foot and it would be better for me because I can see with my dominant eye. The strategies that would help me in my learning would be to sit no to close to other people for me not to disturb them also " The Lazy 8's" from brain gym exercises help me concentrate. I wold like to tell my teacher that I like to visualize what I do which means I like a visual example.
