REL 133 Week 5 Compare Eastern View

Pick any Eastern tradition that you want to use. Or, you may pick a Western view of Spirituality and contrast it with any Eastern tradition that you select. Please Note: Do either only a paper of 1000 to 1250 Words (4-5 pages) , or a PowerPoint Presentation that incorporates around 1000 to 1250 word description in the note sections of the PP. The slide itself will be basic quick information, so use the note section for most of word count.

So,

Address one of the two options for selection of subject matter and the content on the followingthe contemporary issues facing the assigned Eastern religious tradition in which you if you select A)

Discuss the common characteristics the assigned religion shares with the others

Analyze the interactions between the modern world and the assigned religion.

Provide examples of how these interactions influence both the assigned religion and the modern world. And ‘critique’ these issues; Do not want just a description but your opinion!

Or B)

Or you maj choose this option. You may select a western faith such as Christianity, or Judaism, or Islam, or any other Western faith as an option and use it in ‘contrast’ and ‘comparison’ to the Eastern tradition that you have learned.

Since you have done many of these Eastern ones in your assignments, wanted you to have the option to this possiblity.

My favorite topic as an option is ‘salvation’ to compare and contrast concerning the after life. But you may also choose some other subject matter. But whether you choose A or B, make sure you ‘ critique’ the contrast, between some Eastern and Western view, or the content of A up above. This may help alleviate repetition if you select B

Cite at least 3 to 5 references in addition to the textbook.

Format the paper consistent with APA guidelines. I will provide more detail starting in week 5.
