Religious Beliefs And Philosophies Of Finland And The USA

Since the beginning of this great nation there has been a notion of the role of God and religious beliefs on which it was founded. The founding fathers were men of differentiating views on God and religion but the religious views that each held were important to the very principles and laws of the United States of America. An analysis of documents produced during the revolutionary era demonstrate the importance that God and their religious beliefs played in the independence of United States. To understand and see the importance that these religious ideals played in the independence it is important to understand what each founder’s religious ideology, how they developed this ideology

There are many factors that play into public opinion such as education, income, region, ethnicity, religion and gender. These factors have overlapping qualities between these groups that show similarities and differences. One example is that groups with rigid morals such as religious groups are more like to have conservative values such as being against abortion. Groups like Protestants, Non-Catholic Christians, and other big religious groups like Catholics and Jews are more likely to be against because it is in their religion. For these specific groups, it says so in the Bible. Midwest and Southern regions are more likely to want to outlaw abortions than the northeast and west. This could be because these two groups have the highest population of religious groups, especially in the south. Therefore, these two groups are probably similar in this belief due to their overlapping qualities. Lesser education groups are less politically aware and do not promote terms of civil rights and liberties, so they are not as likely to support abortion. Lower household incomes as well do not support abortion, and it is probably because people with less education tend to have lower household incomes.

Did you know that the sun in Finland doesn’t go down during the summer? Weather from the US is extremely different, but yet amazing from Finland. Finland is also a very small country with very little people compared to the US. Even the animals in Finland and the US can be different, but that’s the point. Both countries are different in many ways that make them special to the people, animals, and even plants living there.

Indigenous religions exist in every climate around the world and exhibit a wide range of differences in their stories, language, customs, and views of the afterlife. Within indigenous communities, religion, social behavior, art, and music are so intertwined that their religion is a significant part of their culture and virtually inseparable from it. These religions originally developed and thrived in isolation from one another and are some of the earliest examples of religious practice and belief. The modern world; however, has taken its toll on these groups and many of their stories, customs, and beliefs have been lost to, or replaced by, those brought in as a result of popular culture and the missionary work of Christians and Muslims.

Spiritual nationalism is the emotion that invoked the people of America to take action after severe taxation was put in place by the British government on goods like sugar (Sugar Act of 1764), stamps (Stamp Act of 1765), and tea (Tea Act 1773). This was in order for Great Britain to collect more money from the American Colonies. America revolted from 1763 to 1775 with the main goal of a united national identity in America where all would be created equal and have a superior quality of life. Many colonists pushed for separation from Britain so the Colonies could be a separate, democratic nation, which spurred on revolutionary ideals by feeding a growing sense of nationalism in the United States. The Sugar Act was the beginning of Britain overstepping

Religion’s influence in the South is appropriate, in multiple aspects. Religion is tied to politics in different levels of government and in everyday life. In the State of North Carolina, our state constitution directly mentions God/religion in the preamble, which is as follows, “We, the people of the State of North Carolina, grateful to Almighty God, the Sovereign Ruler of Nations, for the preservation of the American Union and the existence of our civil, political and religious liberties, and acknowledging our dependence upon Him for the continuance of those blessings to us and our posterity…” With this North Carolina is stating that the use of religion is appropriate for governmental attributes and therefore is appropriate therein.

.In the new world there are two dominant religions that we see in the readings which were the puritans and the Catholics. Even though both of this religions had may differences they also had some similarities. A similarity that seems commend in both religions is that they both believe that all actions and results were the way they happened because of god. Puritans believe that the rich people were rich and the poor people were poor because god wanted them to be that way (23). The Jesuits believe that they were send to the new world because and that god wanted them to teach and improve the believes of the natives because god wanted them to do so (37). They both believe that there is one god and Jesus Christ was the son of god (24, 31). They strongly believe in the bounds of love and need to help and give to your neighbor (24).

Spirituality is one of the most important aspects of life to some communities, cultures, and nations. People who believe in God usually become more spiritual as they age. In American societies, the mosques and churches have older people than younger people. In most cases, we become more spiritual or at least start looking for religious answers when we are faced with a death in the family. In a study by Moremen,(2005), 26 older women who had not experienced a life changing even or recent death in their families were interviewed on their views in terms of “their place” in society” and the “order of things”. None of the participants were facing a terminal illness. The majority stated that they wanted to understand things and were looking towards

Religion and spirituality have been complex issues in the United States of America. This is especially true when it comes to Native Americans. Since the 16th century, contact between Native Americans and Europeans has been filled with both good and bad. In this paper, the issue of religion and spirituality and how they figure into the story of Indian-European contact between the 16th and 21st centuries will be discussed.

Adhering to your religious and personal beliefs in a society where there have been generational shifts in attitudes toward nonmarital sex is challenging. These changes in sexual attitudes and behaviors are connected to growing cultural individualism in the United States. When a culture places more importance on the desires of the self and less on social rules, more relaxed attitudes toward sexuality are the almost inevitable result. You are faced with the decision of conforming to a society where the acceptance of premarital sex is at an all time high. Yet, your religion and personal beliefs have shaped your moral compass, which makes it evident that you do not wish to stray away from your decision of abstaining from sex until marriage. In efforts to assist you in effectively communicating your desires to your girlfriend we will evaluate your relationship through key communication concepts such as: culture, Social Exchange Theory, Social Penetration Theory, listening, and Self-Discrepancy Theory. .

“Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose”- Tom Krause. Courage is something that we all need in our lives.

There has been many debates saying that you can’t have courage without fear and being overly courageous leads to unnecessary risks, which are all very true.

Religion, as defined by the High Court of Australia, is ‘a complex of beliefs and practices which point to a set of values and an understanding of the meaning of existence’ (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2005) and can be studied either substantively or functionally (Berger 1974:126). Substantive studies of religion fall predominantly in the realm of theology and are more concerned with defining religious beliefs; their historical accuracy; and the existence of supernatural entities (Holmes, Hughes & Julian 2007:425). Sociology however, concerns itself primarily with the relationship between religion and society, examining religion as a social construction (Van Krieken et al. 2010:350-1) and concerned only with the substance of
