deliver this information using a presentation program.
Description:
As you come to the close of your study of World Religions, it has become evident the past two weeks
that religions will continue to have a place on the world stage and influence in the lives of many around
the globe. In an ever-changing world environment that seems to get smaller every day, nations are
discovering along the way that it is harder and harder to stay isolated from one another. In our study of
World Religions, if there is one thing that that stands out above the rest, it is the notion that our world
faces numerous global issues that demand attention and solutions for the betterment of all of the
world. Could it be, given the historical nature of World Religions, that working together instead of in
conflict with one another, that the world’s major religions could provide real-life, world-changing
solutions that would pave the way for the betterment of humankind across the world? That is not to say
it would be easy, but the benefits could be enormous for providing solutions to the Global Issues we
face today.
It is with that thought in mind that for your Week 7 Presentation: My Favorite World World Religion,
