Importance of Religious Studies
I agree with the author that the world needs religious studies. This is because people travel in the world and they need to have knowledge on the religions of the countries they visit. Religion exists in every part of the world. It has caused problems in various parts of the world. The problems arise because it is not treated with the seriousness it deserves. The convincing part of the essay is the part where the Secretary of State accepts it that the world needs religion. Albright is the Secretary of State.
Religious studies are important to me because I have acquired habits and skills that I believe will enable me cope well with the society. It has instilled values in me that enable me to understand of religions of other believers. This ensures that there is no conflict between the religions. I have acquired teaching skills and i am ready to go to the society and deliver social services that they need. I have known the value of nature and other subjects that cover humanity and life.
Religious studies provide a foundation to understanding of the true face of life and workplace. I have learnt about politics, histories, and languages of various people. I have learnt to accept cultures of people from diverse places. Religious studies offer lessons on ethics. It enables me to distinguish between right and wrong. It equips you with the meaning of an ethical life. Religious study major will enable me become a social worker and a lecturer. A social worker because i understand the society and the community needs. I can be a lecturer because i want to share knowledge. I will do it either full time or part time.
