As the United States continues to grow we become a more diverse society. One thing that makes the United States so diverse is the amount of religions that groups of people believe in. Growing up in central Pennsylvania, there is very little diversity in my town, however a lot of people believe in different religions. To learn a little more about a religion, that I was very unfamiliar with, I attended a Ohev Shalam Synagogue during Passover. The experience and knowledge I gained from this event is something that I remember forever. When I first got to the Synagogue, the Rabbi and his wife welcomed with me with open arms. They started explaining certain things that they do and why they do it. When we walked into the room where we would attend the service I noticed the seating was different. The seating in this Synagogue was sorted into three sections mixed, woman only, and men only. I sat in the woman areas section, because I have never been segregated during a church service before. After we took out seats, we started discussing the bible, which to them is called the Torah. They read the …show more content…
We went to large open room and sat at the table with the Rabbi and his wife. We all took turns reading a book, where we reread the story of “Exodus from Egypt”. During this story, we took breaks to wash our hands, eat different foods, such as parsley dipped in salt water, and drinking wine. The Seder plate held six items that included maror (a bitter herd), Charoset (a mixture of raisins and fruits), Karpas (a vegetable), Zeroa (an animal bone), Beitzah (a roasted hard boil egg), and Matzot (bread). After trying all this food, the only thing, I enjoyed was the Charoset. Once we finished half of the story we got to eat more food. They brought out fish with celery, and the fish was so awful I could not eat it. Sadly, after the fish came out, I had to leave due to it getting late out and having other work to
It is important that children and young people are educated and encouraged to learn about cultures and beliefs different to their own. This will promote an anti-discriminatory practice. There are many multi-cultural festivals and celebrations that happen in the UK. In school it is important that all children learn about these celebrations to educate them on other individual’s cultures, for example, Diwali, Hanukah, Christmas and Ramadan. This will give children an insight on others cultures and how they celebrate within their religion.
After a bit of free time, they went to the mess hall for dinner. There was mashed potatoes, gravy and what looked like canned chicken salad. After one bite Cassandra was done. She thought the food was awful and it was about to be a very
No one was around. I had no food, no water, nothing. I scavenged for food. I find crumbs from another's bread. I ate it.
With the school’s student body being so close to the school it causes a more diverse church setting. But with the school being so diverse it’s hard to know your students and their preferences because it’s so many different cultures to try to adapt
Patel wants everyone to embrace the many different religions that we have while believing that they all can coexist in the community “I realized that it was precisely because of America’s glaring imperfections that I should seek to participate in its progress, carve a place in its promise, and play a role in its possibility. And at its heart and at its best, America was about pluralism” (Patel 89). Patel says that pluralism should be embraced and individuals should have a better understanding of one’s religion before mistaking. These mistakes can lead to disputes and ultimately to pandemonium characterized in this text.
I will demonstrate this by exploring Europeans immigrants settlement in America. I will then discuss religious diversity in individual colonies. I will finally discuss those who had unorthodox beliefs and how this affected religious diversity. As we journey throughout American history we will see diversity forming as new immigrants settle in American.
Also corn pudding, turkeys, and ducks. Also there were berries, grapes, dried plums, and nuts. The meal included deer, oysters, boiled pumpkin, corn, and cranberries. There was also Cod and Bass. The Pilgrims collected fish, lobsters, oysters, and clams from the shore.
I have received a great education and an understanding of my religion that has readied me for an amazing high school career and later a great life. One of the most important values OLG has taught me is to accept everyone because we are all equal in God’s eyes. OLG has a very diverse student population that has introduced me to many different cultures and religions. In the real world, we are not all going to look or act the same. God made each of us different!
The most surprising world view I discovered in the book, The Transforming Vision, by Walsh and Middleton was the ability for a follower of Christ to be open-minded toward other cultures that are different in their beliefs, practices, and values. The reading has taught me not to be so one-sided on issues, but to listen to others who have a different perspective than I do. We all come from different backgrounds and not everyone shares the same values. The book gives examples of how each culture practices their traditions and customs. For example, the Japanese value the trait of loyalty.
I am a Mexican American me as living in America my whole life i need to know their culture and understand their traditions. It 's important for everyone to get a chance and learn about other races and ethnicity. By learning about others this helps people come together and be united. We all have different backgrounds and stories of how our ancestors got here and what traditions they brought with them that we still use that we can share with others. Diversity is good we get to learn a lot from different races and ethnicity because it gives people a chance to experience different things other than what they are accustomed to.
Reform and Orthodoxy are two very different factions of the Jewish faith. Both forms of the religion are still very popular today and still are practiced. However, each differ on many levels. Whether that being the advanced points of the doctrine, both Reform and Orthodox Jews indicate their roots back to good old’ ancient Jewish history. Each tradition in their own way primarily seek to follow the pivotal Jewish Teachings.
Once it was cool and he knew he wouldn't burn his hand, Henrik took the raspberries off of the bush and cleaned them in the water. After that, he could finally, safely, eat his first meal that wasn't fish since he was ditched. The raspberries were so good that Henrik was inspired to find more good food. Meat.
It may be that it is in small and thoughtful gestures that we can change ingrained, thoughtless prejudice. In fact, after intervening in some teasing and being told, quite rightly, to mind my own business by both victims of my classmates’ careless fun, I hit upon a wonderful plan suitable to my character. I hope I am not building it up as something equal to Martin Luther King Jr. joining of character to thoughtfulness in its accomplishments, because in the end it was only a class presentation. Frankly, public speaking is my greatest fear, but this time it was from my heart and went beautifully. The theme was my friendship with these people of other faiths, and how much I learned about my own religion from them.
In this field observation I attended a catholic mass of a friend’s church. I was born in a Christian family and never thought that I would ever attend a Sunday catholic mass. I only have one friend who still attends a church, a catholic church. I attended this mass with my friend Paul and his family who are Pilipino. Paul was nice enough to let come to his church to be an observer and a bit of a participant.
