Parents should not force their religion
“Parents should not force their religion onto their children”

I believe that parents should introduce their children into the religion they follow from a young age so they can learn about the religion and use it and appreciate it and use it as a guidance on how to behave from a young age. However when the child is old enough to fully develop an understanding I think they should become entitled to choose whether to decide to carry on practicing it or practice another or even choose not to believe in any religion. I believe this because it will create high pressures and expectations for a child which they may not be able to exceed or even want to. It will give the child feeling as if they have let their parents down due to them not wanting to practice the religion they do. The child may feel as if its not there knowledge which makes them want to believe in that religion but their parents. In this situation I think the child is most likely to rebel due to there parents forcing them into something they do not believe. The repercussions of this wouldn't leave the child with an open mind on that religion or religion as a whole. Parents should except that everyone is different and may believe in different things but it is not up to them whether a child can believe in a specific religion they should allow their child to have religious freedom. Parents may smoother their child in that religion due to them may having had the same done to them as a child.

    The most important key to success, especially in music, is repetition alongside with determination. This is probably the most difficult part of the entire process, because it entirely relies on your efforts. Preseason is the time in marching band where your willingness to work hard and repeat the same drill over and over again will either bring you success or failure. After the first couple sweat drenched days of preseason, my enthusiasm began to lessen, as thoughts about giving up surfaced upon my brain. It is not easy to wake up every day at 7 in the morning and end the day at 11 at night and keep enthusiasm, but the energy of everybody else around me helped me realize that it can be accomplished. I could have given up and quit, but that would have been taking the easy way out. If everybody else can make it through this week, so can I. So I pushed myself to my limits, tried as hard as I could, did the drill over and over, marched until I was sore, and then kept on…

    Instead, this child is given the opportunity to expand his knowledge. During these three years, his reason and intellect have far surpassed his reason and intellect at age twelve. Due to this, the complex institution of religion is introduced. The child learns that "religion is the basis of civil society and the source of all good and of all comfort" (214). Parents impart upon the child the benefits of religion. Quickly the child learns that religion can aid them in governing others as it maintains social orders and quells violence. Both are important to the posterity of any community, large or small. By introducing religion in Stage Three, instead of Stage Two, the child understands the logic behind religion and can use religion to aid in governing the working class, while himself becoming a believer. Also by being introduced at a later age, the child learns how he can use the church to aid in governing his…

    From the day a person is born they, are brought up in there own religious beliefs. Not everyone is from taught the same way as a child, most religious beliefs are passed down from parent to child. Not everyone comes from the same religious back round as the next person; therefore everyone has a different belief. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs whether or not you agree or disagree with it. “School prayer would address the needs of the whole person. Schools must do more than train children’s minds academically. They must also nurture their souls and reinforce the values taught at home and in the community.”(Pros and Cons of Prayer in School) People are going to believe in what they were brought up believing in. They aren’t going to believe in what all…

    A Christian Worldview

    I feel like religion is not determined by where you go to school, but the environment around them. What a child believes in and stays with is determined by what they encounter from their family, friends, and life experiences. “The Bible makes it clear that education is to begin in the home (Gen. 18:19; Deut. 6:7; Prov. 22:6; Eph. 6:4; II Tim. 1:5; 3:15). It makes parents responsible for their children and charges them with an educational task”. I feel like no matter where a child or adult goes to school, their religious education can only be taught at home. “It’s whatever combination of public, private, or home education a child receives, the parents’ influence on a child’s mind is preeminent” (Kidd). Horace Mann “lobbied to get a common (public) school system established in our country, his main point of emphasis was the secular/sacred divide that separated religion and education into two different and isolated compartments of life” (Mann). He argued that the home and the church should teach faith, values and the school should teach facts. From experience, I have learned more about my religion from my parents, church community, and the people I associate with on a daily basis. I felt like I could show my faith in school without having to sit in a class and learn about it. It’s hard enough sitting in a desk all day learning the…

    Growing up I was never raised with any particular religion. I had not even stepped foot in a Church or any building of worship except for a funeral in a Catholic Church when I was nine or ten. I do not remember much except that I found it to be extremely boring and wanted to be in school instead. The first time I learned anything about religions was when I was in Elementary school and found some books in the library about Greek mythology. I immediately became addicted to the stories and would imagine the Greek gods were real.…

    From what I have experienced once you reach a certain age you can tell right from wrong. As I've reached a certain level of maturity where I can analyze an idea, real life situation, or point of view without the help of others and come to a consensus. I was given a religious identity early on and later deciding that being apart of that type of community didn't parallel the same ideas that I had as an individual. I wouldn't give up that experience even though at times I found it confusing and frustrating because it made me realize who I am and what my values are. Being exposed to multiple religious identities instead of just one seems helpful to me so that way I can choose which one I identify with the most if any. I think the reason why people…
