HY 1120 UNIT I I Need to comment on my classmates discussion board question this is what they wrote (VZC)

As you can see my name is Katie. I am a single mom of two beautiful girls. When I am not playing mom and running myself wild taking care of them I am a full time Correctional Officer. I have been doing this job for a little over 3 years. I love the profession and all that I see but I don’t want to be a Jail lifer. I am working on my degree in Psychology. This degree will not only help open future career goals in Probation and Parole, but it also helps me better understand the clients I work with and life in general.

Why do I think it is important to study History? I am a firm believer to learn from past experiences and mistakes. If we try to understand the reason for events taking place and learn from what was done wrong, we can try new ways to improve the future to not make the same mistakes.

I wish everyone in this class the best of luck and cant wait to see what new things I learn not only from this course, but from each other 🙂

HY 1120 UNIT II Discussion Board Question (VZC)

In your opinion, for most immigrants traveling into the United States during the late 19th century, was the ideal of the “American Dream” an achievable goal?

I have to comment on my classmates discussion board question:

In my opinion, I don’t think the American Dream was an achievable goal. Although the United States allowed anyone coming over to the country to become a citizen, the American people didn’t look at the immigrants as citizens. I think immigrants had many challenges to face. For example, they had a tough time being afford to live and were often viewed as cheap labor in the workplace for industries. They had different lifestyles than a traditional American. However there were some immigrants that lived the same lifestyle as a traditional American and ended up being successful.

Instructions

Welcome to the Religious News Station!

As the newest member of the organization, you will be exploring many different religions from varying viewpoints throughout this course. This ongoing travel will have you reporting on various religions around the world and will conclude with a final project for the news station.

For your first assignment, you will be packing your bags and traveling to India! It is there where you will find the major concentration of those practicing Hinduism.

As you begin traveling for Religious News, your boss wants you to embrace the Hindu culture as much as possible. Per his request, he has asked that you visit a temple, attend one festival of your choosing, and observe either an investiture, marriage, or funeral ceremony.

For your write-up, be sure to include the following components for your report:

• summarize the impact samskaras have on Hindu society;
• compare and contrast a selected Hindu ceremony (e.g., the investiture, marriage, or funeral ceremony) or festival (pages 50–54 in your textbook) to one that takes place within your culture; and
• compare and contrast social statuses within Hinduism to that of your culture.

Your reflection should be at least one page in length. You must include at least two outside sources, one of which can be your textbook, and one must come from the CSU Online Library. Remember to use APA formatting throughout the assignment.

After your story on Hinduism, your boss at the Religious News has sent you north of India to bring a report back on Buddhism. For this story, you will be traveling through Nepal, Tibet, China, and Burma to witness the three major types of Buddhism: Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana.

Your boss has noted that he would like for you to reflect on the three major types of Buddhism as you journey from country to country to note the differences. Your report needs to also include the potential for conflict between other religious groups.

To grasp all ideas, you will need to include the following components:

• summarize cultural differences that lead to variances in Buddhist practices from specified countries, and
• conclude whether you would be willing to risk punishment for your beliefs, like that of the treatment shown to Buddhists in the Tibetan Spirituality video within this unit.

Your reflection should be at least one page in length. You must include at least one outside source, which can be your textbook. Remember to use APA formatting throughout the assignment.
