Religion over the years
It is interesting the amount of religions that has evolved over the years. In many earlier cultures the word religion didn’t even exist. I found this fascinating, because it gives us an idea of beliefs in the past. Everyone seemed to have central ideas that they all believed in. It seems as though a lot of the controvesary that has evolved over the years is due to competiveness. As religion developed it seemed to become more of a competition and an actually set of beliefs that individuals had. Religion in our society today is valued so highly. In some religions there is a social hierarchy that evolved, for example the Catholic religion.

I think I'd have to disagree with you.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that competiveness has anything to do with why religions pop up. It could have been a social custom to disagree and to formulate understanding from a certain view.
I agree that religion is highly valued. Many can argue that beliefs and customs are based off religion but that just shows how influential it is.
