Description
Assignment directly from instructor: Write a short, critical essay (approximately one to one and half pages long single spaced) addressing the question below. All in-text citations and bibliographies should be written in APA format. Your answer should have both an introduction and a conclusion. Critical analysis consist of both facts and analysis of why those facts exist and their relationship to each other. Without an understanding of the reasons for the existence of facts and the relationship of facts to each other you have not demonstrated critical thinking. You are required to support your answer with citations from the text(living religions by Mary Pat Fisher) and a minimum of two additional scholarly sources. Please note that what I'm looking for here is that you are thinking about the relationship between religion, society, and the individual and that you can support your thoughts with scholarly sources. I am not looking for unsupported opinion. Also keep in mind that doing the minimum amount of required research and writing a solid analysis that is error free really only represents a average (C) effort to pass the class and does not constitute above average (B) or excellent (A) work.
It has been suggested that religion benefits both individuals and society regardless of the actual beliefs. The religious beliefs of Arctic Peoples, such as the Inuit "Eskimo" required purification ceremonies prior to hunting expeditions and additional ceremonies after making a kill. In what manner are these ceremonies reflective of the environment in which they lived, how did they encourage conservation, and what benefit did this have on society?
