I’m working on a writing case study and need support to help me understand better.This is a 2 part assignment and will need to be in APA format, but when it comes to the paper have the first top as the first page then you will have the 2-3 reflections about the articles. Total pages needed for this assignment needs to be 4 pages total NOT INCLUDING COVER PAGE NOR CIATION PAGEHere go the directions: Religions seem to play a major role in how people think about morality. In fact, religion undergirds such a vast portion of human society that it’s difficult to even imagine how we’d formulate our questions about ethics outside of religious frameworks. (Even modern secular cultures are still deeply informed by Christian language and themes.)
Thorny questions like the relationship of religion and morality show that we need to understand religion if we want to understand ourselves, including our moral behavior.One of the more common arguments I hear when discussing ethics, morals, and values is that, in the United States they are founded in religious, primarily Christian, teachings.
If this is true are we discounting the teachings of Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Confucianism, Hinduism, and the Baha’i faith? If we profess to be a moral civilization and derive our ethics from the teachings of the Christian faith are these teachings valid and reliable concepts from which ethics are derived or, are ethics relative to the religious teachings of a that religion?Review these 15 common principles found in nearly all religions and focus on three (3) of these that relate back to the moral/ethical concepts described in your readings.
Write a response to how each of the 3 principles you’ve chosen to write about has influenced the formation of moral reasoning. There should be 3 paragraphs written for this part of the assignment.2nd partBuilding on the information related to religion and morality above, in a 2-3 page paper reflecting on the two articles below. Specifically, don’t compare and contrast, but rather identify where you stand in regard to these two points of view: Are we a Christian nation, and if so, does that make us a moral nation?
