Over the past few weeks my history class has been analyzing religions effects and contributions. Throughout the unit we got the chance to roam around the internet and find interesting things that concerns or apply to us. Around two weeks ago I came over thing blog CNN has put up. I found it rather interesting. This blog is an updated version of how religions impact us today. Throughout the blog, there are videos and interesting types of articles. Not only does this base itself up on boring old articles but it is made to be more interesting up to date issues.
This article struck my eye because firstly it was CNN, you can trust everything they say usually. Not only that the articles they published weren’t focused on religion but gave you a thought for the day. I found it interesting how all these things can be happening around the world and we don’t even know about it. As people we are supposed to connect and understand each other and I think this blog really brings it out. The hidden messages that are in the article are usually really powerful. They talk about myths, love, and daily activities. These all apply to us.
For instance I came across this article based on myths of American Muslim’s love lives. Not only did this instantly caught my eye but I found it interesting how we judge and insist on something without hearing the other side. This is an example of why religions separate people. In another article I read about the interesting facts of what Christians belief is in the bible but in reality it’s not. People usually make an interpretation about things to be based on their own views.
I found this blog really fascinating and interesting, as well as challenging. Most of the information they write about I have never known, this why it makes it so interesting. Another article I came across is the one based on Whitney Huston’s death/barrial. Not only did this play a big role on the media industry but the news has been there to capture every second since the incident happened.
This plays a huge role in society as religion becomes more and more of an impact on people decisions. Though it may seem that religion has been getting less popularity ever since, but the truth is that more people have been turning around to face religion and have it unify people. At the end of the day I believe that religions are a major impact on our day to day lives as well as there to unify people. It may seem as a big reason why conflict is started. But at the end of the day it unifies families and people all around the world. Let’s keep this as a habit so we can grow into a better nation.
