Religion Statement

Religion offers individuals a framework to help people make moral choices.
I agree with the statement and feel that religion is a way of life the builds someones personality and helps them make their own moral choices. Religions like Buddhism or Hinduism have different rules and beliefs that help mold there own unique lifestyle. Based on there religions beliefs they are able to make good or maybe bad decisions. Buddhists believe that treating others with kindess and care is a important trait seen in life, based on this one may change their choices to benefit another. The framework that is built up through religion takes hold on ones body mentally and somewhat physically. Being a loyal Christian ones framework revolves around the beliefs and rules christianity. Using your religion you can think of a solution or a decision in a situation that would best reflect your religion. If someone was injured and you were the only person around you may follow the religion you are faithful to and have your actions carry out what you believe. Most religions have rules that generally benefit the well fare and care of others so depending on what you believe you would either help the person or perhaps leave them. Religions form the choices of an individual.

Recently I have been viewing some this I believe speeches. I was scanning through the section on friendship and brotherhood when I found a very interesting essay called All men are my brothers. the belief being discussed in this essay revolves around connections between people which can be stated as brotherhood and friendship. Summarizing the essay the author has used personal experiences as evidence to support the belief he is writing about. The author says that all men are his brothers because of all the similar traits seen in men and the bond everyone has with each other. This essay appealed to me because of the great and amazing experiences the author has had with men very unlike him. I found all of his experiences very interesting because most of the time he could not communicate with anyone but he was able to relate and even laugh with them. The essay is also very well structured following a basic criteria except he substitutes evidence and examples with his life. I enjoyed this essay very much and will make mine about brotherhood and friendship.
