Growing Diversity In The United States

Decent Essays
Exclusivists, in terms of religion, can be compared with inclusivism and spiritual shopping (introduced later). It is those people that, obviously, taken an exclusivist approach to how they view the growing diversity in The United States. Simply put, it is those that think they and their church is right and that others of other faiths are wrong. In The United States this is mostly represented by Christian Exclusivists, however, this could be because there is more Christians than other religions. Wuthnow does admit that many (but not all) exclusivists view diversity as a negative. That the increase of other faiths in The United States causes more crime, sin, terrorism, etc.. It is a sign of the end times. A time of great evil. To add a caveat

In fact, the binding behind all aspects of American government is an important document known as the Constitution of the United States of America that states all policies and principles necessary in order to structure a democratic governmental system.

One state which exemplifies a rapid diversifying of a population is the southern states of Texas. Texas has long since been a state known for its diversity,…

    As mentioned above exclusivism can be compared to spiritual shopping and inclusivism. First, spiritual shopping is like a food court, you can walk around, explore, taking what you want from what practice you choose. Shoppers are those whom pick and choose the experiences and doctrine that they identify with. They have a tendency to use a different language, speaking in generalities, and are naturally very accepting to diversity. Inclusivists, on the other hand, is a comparative middle ground between spiritual shoppers and exclusivists.…

    How can our government be benign if we depend from it as much as it depends from us, the citizens? I don’t think it would be a good idea to aggravate the general population that in a way has much more power than the government it self. I feel like if there would be a day were the government would take advantage of its people, then that would be the day when the people of this country would stand against its government. In any matters where the people feel aggravated by its government am pretty sure the people will have a solution, and if that solution is to overwrite the way our government works then we shall do it. But talking about how or government treats us is very pleasant compared to other countries that only utilize they’re citizens to exploited them in hard labor…
