Religious and Social Significance Process

Question: Discuss about the Religious and Social Significance Process. Answer: Introduction: The journal talks about the religious and social significance of religious belief among the young people. Focus has been made on different religious groups including Muslim and the Hindus. It has been found that there is a commonality among the various religions even if they belong to different ethnic cultures. This clearly states that there remains a self-assigned affiliation among the individuals. The article highlighted the influence of behaviour of people when they are primed with the concept of their own religion. It has been observed that there remains a difference in the culture of the people especially this has been highlighted among the Christians and the Buddhists. The Christian tradition has always highlighted morality whereas the other religion talks about culture and supervision. In the Christian religion, God is the ultimate spirit who is responsible for all the situational factors and the life activities. The Human soul can get purified if the person believes in the power of the God. God is responsible for the creation and demolition of human soul. However, debate has been made on the existence of God and his presence. In the article, the author presented the idea that peoples religious view influences the worldview. Their alternative view can threaten the world view and can also strengthen and derogate the alternative religious view. When a group of religious people form groups, they are found to create a persuasive experience in the world. This can influence other people belonging to the same religion to a large extent. The author argued on the equality and anticipation of different religions. It has been observed that sociology revolves around the Christian Gospels and the way people are taught about the Christian culture. This particular perspective of people makes them to act as a critique towards the world view. The Christians become more aware about their religion and start considering the negative aspects of other religions. The article talks about the belief of life after death that the Christians belief that if they do not perform the right thing at the right time, they would have to suffer after their life. This is the reason that atheism has been found threatening among many religions. The Muslims are also included in the same underpinning and religious prejudices. This article talks about the beliefs of educated students towards the world. It has been stated that there is no doubt that people have different worldviews but the main topic lies in the fact that education alters the viewpoint of people. The Christian students have been found to share the similar approach towards the world but it is not same for non-Christian students. Similar approach has been made in this study and focus has been made towards understanding the perspectives of the people. It has been found that the worldview and the commitment of the students seem to change once they understand the theoretical perspective of God and religion. The perspectives of the students from the fields of psychology, theology, sociology and even epidemiology changes depending understanding of the subject. References: Clobert, M., Saroglou, V. (2013).
