I think the French Wars of Religion was more about religious differences because ever since the French nobles became Calvinists, they would show independence from the central power. It created the conflict between Catholics and Calvinists where power was the main struggle making religion become a way bigger issue. The last of the wars would be the war of the Three Henry’s where it showed the overall religious differences between the Catholics and the Protestants. Which this was between Henry III and Henry of Guise versus Henry IV.…
Many Americans do not know the difference between the two Muslim groups, which bluntly shows how ignorant the people can be. They obviously do not know enough about the religion of the people to form a reasonable opinion on the topic. The article also references two biblical cities; Sodom and Gomorrah, which people do not know were destroyed for their sinful ways. The blame for this is put on Sunday schools for not taking their job seriously enough to teach people about this. Not only do we not know much about world religions but it seems as if we know little about our own…

Religion is affecting Schools, courts, politics, and communities. It is influencing the way people live their life in many ways. It spreads and is introduce in many forms. For centuries, many people have found comfort in Religion. However, I believe that in terms of comfort secularism and science has more to offer because religion is viral and harmful.…
Religion is one of the complex issues in the world. The aspects of religion diversity elaborate on how the society is diverse, which should be embraced. One of the debatable issues in the world today is whether religion causes war in the world. Other belief that religion is important in society and does not cause war.

In the general perspective, religion has some aspects that cause war in society.…
I would find it challenging because the length of this article so I would start with the challenges of this article an then work on the next step which would be producing ideas. I would come up with questions to help understand the article such reasons as to why is the article is relevant, what is the purpose, and is the purpose strong enough to support the actuality of this article. Questions like these will then enhance the reader’s judgment to what the author’s topic was discussing. The strategies are believed to be effective just in case if the author felt like it was needed they would also provide a better understanding of the articles point that they wanted people to hear rather it be bias or not.…

Religion negatively influences the United States' government. Throughout the history of the U.S., government has constantly been influenced by Christianity. It started when Europeans came over and tried to colonize the U.S., and it is still continuing today in our government.…
Science verses Religion has been an ongoing debate all over the world for centuries. Depending on who one talks to about these topic will depend on the passion and beliefs one has. As we saw in the movie Angels and Demons all the major characters such as Robert Langdon, Camerlengo McKenna and the former pope had their own strong feelings and beliefs. Certain questions have been raised about these two topics that I will be elaborating on later in this essay such as, Is there room in the world for both, Can one render the other obsolete, and would I rather live in a world without science or religion? I find all these questions very interesting and interaging, just like the movie Angels and Demons.…
The article that I selected is titled "Gun control is not the answer". The issue of the article is that taking away guns will not stop shooting in the United States of America; therefore, citizens should continue to have guns. The article should be viewed with skepticism because the author of the article is biased and uses fallacy tactics to try to persuade his the audience to agree with him because he's a gun owner and the creator of a gun blog post. He supports the second amendment the right to bear arms, he doesn't agree with gun control. The passage that I selected doesn't support the author's position because it doesn't focus on gun control in America. The article is all over the place it has several rhetoric devices…
This article though could have appealed a tiny bit more to the life of less privileged kids in New York, although it mentioned the phone trucks it could have used more perturbation in some of the paragraphs. The wealthier children in various parts of New York did not have to pay to place their phones in these storage trucks but rather they could merely just shove it in their pocket and not get caught. I thought this was quite unfair , in your article I noticed many of weasel words and persuasive techniques you used to convey your own point of view.…
Patel’s lecture made me realize that it is critical to being a human being and living with other human beings to have an awareness and a great sense of respect for all religions. Not being aware of other religion’s practices is like walking through life with your eyes closed. It is not possible to be a well-rounded human being without taking the time to learn about religious traditions of multiple different religions. This is especially important if someone wants to travel to a different country or attend a new church that they have never been to before. According to Patel, people that plan on attending football games should have some sense of different religious practices. Religion is everywhere and if a person isn’t careful or knowledgeable,…

Regan argues that there is a difference between moral disagreements and personal preference disagreements. He believes that disagreements in preferences do exist between people. Someone likes or prefers something and another person may not like it or may be preferring something else. Judging morality as in what is morally right and wrong is different from when judging personal preferences. A person does not need justification to what his/her personal preferences are, because there is nothing wrong or right in preferring something while others not preferring that same thing. However, when it comes to judging morality and the different perspectives of morality in peoples’ minds, a person has to justify and give reasons to why he/she believes that this should be moral or immoral. Regan’s conclusion is that there is a difference between personal preference disagreements and moral judgement disagreements. (Regan, 2011, P.25).…
