moral rules contained in your religions moral code
You try to live strictly by the moral rules contained in your religion’s moral code. The two most important rules are “Be merciful” (don’t give people what they deserve) and “Be just” (give people exactly what they deserve). Now suppose a man is arrested for stealing food from your house, and the police leave it up to you whether he should be prosecuted for his crime or set free. Should you be merciful and set him free, or be just and make sure he is appropriately punished? How do you resolve this conflict of rules? Can your moral code resolve it? To what moral principles or theories do you appeal? Needs to be answered using course textbook, doing ethics Inquisitive by Lewis Vaughn
The comparisment of Christianity, Buddhism and Islam
Choose Topic: English
Number of Pages: 2
Question Description: Compare the following 3 excerpts from world religions that were founded in the second half of our course: Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. While modern Western Christianity has developed different beliefs and practices, what did this early Christian text have in common with the texts from Buddhist teachings and Islamic belief? Also, what were their greatest differences based on the short excerpts below? In a 1 ½ double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font, paper (using the 3 primary documents you have been given as cited below) explain how these religious texts relate to each other. You must have a thesis statement and footnote citations.
Your Observation Proposal (Assignment 1) is the preparatory work for your Observation Report (Assignment 2). You can structure it in either essay form or list form. Either way, please use complete sentences.
Most such programs are open to all, and thus you do not need to seek permission to observe. However, if you wish you attend an online meeting or program that involves or presumes individual participation (such as a religious chatroom, meet-up, or online interactive webinar), then you will need to have the organization’s permission to participate. If you aren’t sure whether you need permission, please email me, and I’ll be happy to help you.
In light of the on-going pandemic, I expect that most students will do an online Observation this term. Even if a religious group is meeting in person, it may be facing attendance limits due to state guidelines, and if that is the case, it may be disrespectful to go in person at this time (as you would be taking a spot away from a regular attendee). If you would prefer to do an in-person observation and you think it is feasible to do so, please contact me at the beginning of the course and we can discuss it.
Please include the following in your Proposal:
Identify the specific religious (or atheist) organization you plan to study. You need to choose a religious (or atheist) group that has a substantial internet presence and is conducting live online programs. Alternatively, you can choose an organization that has provided substantial programs on YouTube.
Include: the name/location of the organization, the website of the organization, the names of the primary leaders of the organization and their roles.
Provide 2-3 links to services/programs provided on video by the organization. (Total video time should be about 2 hours.) If you plan to watch Livestream programs, please provide links to the announcements/descriptions. Your total planned observation time should be about 2 hours.
Assignment 1: Observation Proposal (450-word minimum, not including reference list)
Your Observation Proposal (Assignment 1) is the preparatory work for your Observation Report (Assignment 2). You can structure it in either essay form or list form. Either way, please use complete sentences.
Background: In this course, you will be conducting an Observation of a religious service(s) or other event sponsored by a religious/spiritual/atheist group of your choice. The purpose of the observation is to experience and analyze a religious event or service of a religion, congregation, or community that you have not experienced before.
Most such programs are open to all, and thus you do not need to seek permission to observe. However, if you wish you attend an online meeting or program that involves or presumes individual participation (such as a religious chatroom, meet-up, or online interactive webinar), then you will need to have the organization’s permission to participate. If you aren’t sure whether you need permission, please email me, and I’ll be happy to help you.
