Religions Field Trip Reflection

the similarities between the hindu temple, chinese temple and the mosque, all of them have a symbol that signifies their religion. For example the hindus have a swastika, muslims have the crescent and the star and chinese have dragons. Also all of them have some sort of sacred writing that they use. A lot of things are placed where they are for a reason like there are pillars in the mosque to hold up the belief and there is a big wooden block on the entrance on the chinese temple so evil spirits will not be able to crawl over it. Hindus and chinese both use incents. Not all of them have statues to worship like hindus and chinese both have statues that they can give offerings to and worship. Muslims pray directly to god. Chinese and hindus have many gods, and each god has a special reason, like theres a god for wealth, a god for prosperity, and a god for health. A similarity is also that all of these religions value and respect their gods. And all of them have a god that they worship.

There are also many differences between these religions. The muslims only have one god, and they have no statues or figures that represent the looks of the god, they pray directly to him. They also have different ways of praying to the gods, in a hindu temple the swami bathes the god in milk and gives his blessing to everyone.

I think the most interesting was the mosque because it has meaningful designs and it varies from all of the other religions, it is plain, simple and nice. I find it interesting how they pray directly to god and do not have any statues like the hindu and chinese temple. Their religion is interesting and the way things are placed interests me also.

Auschwitz

I think what happened in Auschwitz was horrible. But, why did the Germans decide to run the holocaust? did this type of extermination only happen in Auschwitz? How many people died at Auschwitz? Were there many survivors? Why didn't allies bomb Auschwitz?

There is a 'PLEASE DO NOT LITTER' sign and right under that tree you can see litter all over.

Opposites

These are opposites because there is a 'DO NOT LITTER' sign and there is litter right under that same tree.

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas Statement

It is acceptable to remove a member of a society or group if he or she is thought to be inferior to others.

I disagree with this statement. I think everyone is equal and should be treated the same way as everyone else, we are all one race. The human race. I believe it is foolish and ignorant to segregate your own kind, your own race. Imagine if the world had no contrasts, we wouldn't be where all of us are today. Your religion, appearance, skin color, country shouldn't be a reason for being excluded and removed from a group. As of, the Germans (Nazi's) believed that if you had blue eyes and yellow hair you were superior. What I thought of this statement before has not changed now, I thoroughly disagree with this statement, I think this is wrong and should not be done.

How To Live A 'Good' Life

A good life is basically doing simple things that make you happy. A good life is to nurture the good times and relationships with you family and friends. It's about doing things you love and that you are passionate about. Always try to figure out a solution and not always be in misery, it is also about forgiving people for something that they have done. It is also important to humor yourself, you shouldn't always be working and serious. Keeping healthy and not going overweight is also another way to make yourself happy in life. You should always try to make new friends, friends are one of the most important things in life, they are the ones that make you happy and cheer you up when you're down. Travelling and discovering unknown places is also another way to make yourself happy in life because sometimes you need to get away from home. Always trying to become better at things your passionate about.
