10/15/12


Today in human geography we continued to study the PowerPoint that we began last class. We covered ethnic heritage and religion. We talked about they hold a country together or pull them apart. Ethnic heritage can pull people apart like you wouldn't believe. One thing that is different about a person can change the way someone looks at them. It is the definition of ridiculous. Religion can also be a main factor that pulls people apart in a country, but it is also a strong bond that holds us together. There are 5 main religions in the world: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. There are certain religions that specifically do not get along. For example Islam and Christianity are two very opposite religions that have a lot of opposing views.  But religion can also bring people together. There are churches or synagogues that make you feel a part of a community. There are funerals that bring people together and bring closure to their family members, friends, or acquaintances. Usually a country has a high population of one specific religion so in most countries is usually isn’t a problem.
