This week in Thursday, November 6, 2008, our group will discuss religion in a variety of different ways. We want to show how different every religion is and how others use ethnocentrism, believing that their religion is better than other religions. Before class, we want everyone to think about their own religions, if you have one, and what kind of practices your religion performs. Think about whether or not other people from other religions will criticize them.
On thursday, Jiaying will discuss family culture on the Chinese New Year. She will explain the process of how they worship the Gods, as well as bring some of the materials used to worship gods. This will allow us to understand some aspect of the Chinese religion.
Ivana will speak about her Christian Evangelic religion in her home town in Serbia. Her town is separated by an invisible line, dividing the homes of the Christian Evangelics on one side and the Catholics on the other side. This will show how religion can separate people and even cause conflicts.

Eun Ji will be discussing religion in South Korea. Almost 46% of the South Koreans express no religious preference. Of the religious people, 29% are Christian, 23% are Buddhist and 3% have other religious beliefs. Christianity is the biggest religion in South Korea. Christianity in South Korea has a relatively short history, but after a difficult beginning, it has seen significant growth and success. South Korea has different kind of denominations, for example, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptism and Full gospel. Although Presbyterian is the most well-known, there are more followers for Full gospel so here is a clip on full gospel.

This presentation was good. It allowed me to understand other people and cultures religion much more. I found it to be funny when Ivana told us that in her home town in Serbia is separated by an invisible line, dividing the homes of the Christian Evangelics on one side and the Catholics on the other side. It kind of reminded me of our history books of the American civil war. Also, Jiaying gave me a better understanding of my own religion and culture. I now understand why my family worship those certain goods on Chinese new year. Also, why we Burn incense for our ancestors and gods. This presentation was great in that it showed that all cultures are different. We have our own special ways of ritual or celebration
