Assignment task:
As you come to the close of your study of World Religions, it has become evident over the past two weeks that religions will continue to have a place on the world stage and influence the lives of many around the globe. In an ever-changing world environment that seems to get smaller every day, nations are discovering along the way that it is harder and harder to stay isolated from one another. In our study of World Religions, if there is one thing that stands out above the rest, it is the notion that our world faces numerous global issues that demand attention and solutions for the betterment of all of the world. Could it be, given the historical nature of World Religions, that working together instead of in conflict with one another, the world's major religions could provide real-life, world-changing solutions that would pave the way for the betterment of humankind across the world? That is not to say it would be easy, but the benefits could be enormous for providing solutions to the Global Issues we face today.
It is with that thought in mind that for your Week Presentation: My Favorite World Religion, you are being asked to develop a multi-media presentation representing what has become for you over this course, My Favorite World Religion.
