religion

in mu sociology class, one day we were talking about religion and how does it impact our daily lives. we were saying that religion can be functional in the way that we have a religion because it brings us closer to people that have about our same interests,also because it helps be more calm when we have problems in our life. but also we were talking that religion can cause conflict because of what people belief might not be what other people belief. also because it causes oppression within the own person because people with strong religion ties might not be able to do what they really want because they might think they are doing a sin.

from this i learned that not all of us have the same interest in religion or do not believe in the same stuff and the limits that we all might have in religion.

as a future teacher, this impacts me and shows me that sometimes there might not be a certain way to teach to my students. for example how to explain them about evolution because of how some religions like catholic say that God made us. it will be hard to explain, specially if they have grown believing in something else. also because there is also a lot of diversity around this world and not all of us believe in the same thing. my students might have difficulties with relation each other if they are not able to understand that not all of us have the same religion. as a teacher i have to know about the different religions too in order to understand my students and the behavior that they have in their everyday life because of the religion that they have.
