Specifically how religious institutions can influence positive behavior with married and unmarried couples in urban America. According to the entry,”We anticipate that this association will be mediated by relationship-specific norms, relationship-specific behaviors, and relationship-related behaviors.” In other words, people who attend religious institutions are more likely to share similar values and morals. The data proves that people no matter the marital status are more susceptible to behaviors approved by their religion. The information delivered by this journal entry is relevant because statistical data is concrete is making a statement about the ideological mind concerning religious influence. I can use this data to prove that Martin Luther King was able to influence others, black and white, by reaching out as more than a black man, but as a man of…
The education of the nation’s youth has always been a contentious issue. One of the largest issues facing the education system is the integration of sectarian religions such as prayers into the classroom and other extensions of the education system. In the mid to late 1900s, several court cases went before the Supreme Court involving various aspects of state sponsored prayers. The two major cases involving prayers in schools were Engel v. Vitale and Abington v. Schempp. Within these two cases, the Court successfully and diligently balanced the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause and paved the way for the Lemon Test and Endorsement Test.…

People who have high level of religious commitment will view the world by using their religious beliefs and values and apply the religious beliefs to their daily life. Religiousness is a continuous connection to higher positive outcomes and negative outcomes in youth (Layton, Dollahite, & Hardy, 2011). For instance, higher positive outcomes can be prosocial behaviour and lower negative outcomes can be risky behaviour among youth. In comparing religious peers with the other less religious peers, religious peers have higher level of positive outcomes rather than negative outcomes (Layton, Dollahite, & Hardy, 2011). Interestingly, as mentioned by Layton, Dollahite, & Hardy (2011), an individual with religious commitment will indicate actions such as religious attachment (being member of a faith community), regularity of involvement in religious activities (church attendance); attitudes about or outstanding of religious experiences in life (the level to which religion affects other areas of life), belief in traditional religious creeds (orthodoxy); and typologies of religious orientations (intrinsic and…

They studied 474 men and women aged between 18 and 29, and measured 1) Their reasons for having a religious belief (E.g., parental influence, particular event in life etc.) 2) The frequency with which…
