different ethnic backgrounds have interacted throughout American History: Ethnic Hierarchy, One-Way Assimilation, Cultural Pluralism, and Group Separation. Through Fredrickson’s outlining of each model, we are able to identify the benefits and disadvantages that each model possesses and the effect they have on cultural identity. The majority of United States…

as a “religion” by a believer. In this chapter of Religion Pluralism, I wish to challenge those who are Christians to first take a step back and reanalyze the definition of religion. In order to obtain a more concise and understanding of religions and their values, I believe that redefining religion in itself would be necessary. This will allow for in-depth knowledge that one can eventually then may proceed to discuss religion pluralism. Western society is known to group things that seem…

Medical Pluralism can be defined as the existence of multiple healing systems as well as the various options of healthcare within a society. Pluralism has always existed in health care systems and there have always been multiple practitioners to choose from and multiple ways of understanding health and healing.

To defend this argument the three models discussed earlier can be utilized. Starting with pluralism, it insists that the US population isn’t a monophonic whole. Because of this, the citizens are able to join legit political groups and affect government. This is affective because its governments job to respond to legit groups with demands.

What is cultural pluralism? To me, it is not only a variety of cultures grown in one atmosphere but also the internal affect between different cultures. Cultures are interesting, because every culture has its own habit, history and meaning. From my point, I really like living in a multicultural atmosphere because cultural pluralism could bring creativity, diversity and tolerance. In a multicultural atmosphere, people will become more creative. To become more creative which means to create…

The connection between religion and everyday life in the early United States has, at times, been a contentious field of study. Questions about how various churches and faiths developed in conjunction with the revolution, governmental authority, and enlightenment ideology have been examined from multiple angles. Of particular interest has been the spread of evangelical denominations during the first great awakening, during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth Centuries. This essay will…

All major religions emphasize generosity to those in need. In Christianity, believers are called to love their neighbors (Seelarbokus, 2016). In Islam, there are the concepts of the zakat and sadaqua to care for those in need (Lambarra & Riener, 2015). Judaism stresses the importance of tithing to…

I began the school year with fairly simplistic views. Humans were neither good nor evil, they simply wanted happiness. I thought that religion was useless and altogether more boring than the apparent enthusiasm some people seem to have. Nationalism was ridiculous. However throughout the school year, I found those beliefs to change and gain refinement. I was fairly neutral over human nature’s inherent goodness or evil before this school year. This course has made me lose much of my faith within…

Carson McCullers’s novel The Heart is a Lonely Hunter can be read as a religious allegory that validates why people depend on religion and religious figures through the symbolism of John Singer as a religious figure. This struggle is portrayed with the interaction between Singer, whom is romanticized in a religious way, and other characters such as Dr. Copeland and Mick Kelly. As a man who opposes religion and his family’s religious beliefs, Dr. Copeland seeks comfort and consoling nearly…
