Conclusion

In conclusion, as we could see (if you kept reading all the posts) we could learned that anthropology is an awesome topic which covers a lot of different topics. Because it studied the life, evolution, and everything related with humans it is a great experience to learn so much about all of it. During this time writing in the blog we talk about different tribes and their different cultures, about what they do to survive and what are their rituals and beliefs. Also we talk about priests and doctors. About how they could influence good or wrong in our loves. Homosexuality from the anthropologist point of view, how homosexuality can be a remedy for overpopulation and can help in a future.

These few months have been great. Not only I have the chance to create my own blog about a great topic like Anthropology, but I had the chance to express myself trough a topic that I love and of course help people know and learn about different things related to anthropology.

The Solution to a Better World

Some people believe that to start the school day with prayer will create an aura of order among the students.  Having prayer will instill moral values in children. School reinforces the values children learn at home and in the community. Prayer will also enable kids to understand their classmates better, which would cut down on bullying. Others thinks, prayer would provide an awakening to the problems with drugs, immorality, and violence. I believe that with prayer in school a lot of problems would not be such a big issue in society today. Even though prayer is not allowed in the classroom, there are religious activities that the government does allow. 







When the school prayer was banned, the government eliminated more than just praying in the classroom, they got rid of same religious activities as well. Some people don’t want prayers in the classroom or in your area of work because they feel that it is harmful. When prayer is said in the classroom or in your area of work, those who do not want to pray would be able to leave. By excusing themselves they risk later being harassed by students or co-workers. 
I'm in favor for prayer in schools and in your area of work, but will make a conscious effect to understand why someone might be opposed to the idea. I believe that what is taught about religion to a child should remain with the parents and family. There are many people that believe prayer does not belong in the schools or in your work area, because it violates the separation of church and state.The US Department of Justice prohibits discrimination based on religion, so why we encourage religious discrimination in school or at work?
Freedom of religion and separation of church and state make prayer in school or in any other places a difficult subject. We must make sure that everyone has the right to free religion and still not crossing the line of church and state which is very important. There is a conflict between government and religion that has sparked in debate. The result indices that The Supreme Court has not as some people assume prohibited prayer in school or in public area. It is not unconstitutional for people or students to pray in public area. What is unconstitutional is to sponsor or encourage prayer in public school or public authorities.This is an extremely important issue, which should be openly discussed not for the sake of argument, but to honestly discuss the positive effect. I come from a school where praying was part of our curriculum, and I really believe that prayer can help us in our behavior and most important it can bring respect for the individual.
Our children are too young to make moral decisions and must be taught the proper and respectful way to behave, not only to parents, but to teachers, authorities and in social setting. If we begin to see the discipline, we can say that it has all but disappeared in our society. This is why prayer is so important. Prayer teaches thankfulness to a creator and inferring that people are morally accountable to God and to all other people as well for personal behavior. I hope that in some way we all get together as a society and begin to see that we need to ask for help so that our society, could decline the degrading behaviors that has developed since we as a society have witness violent criminal, seriously depressed and mentally scarred people who used guns to slaughter friends, family and innocent people, in cold blood. Together we can reach a solution: "Ask and it shall be given, you seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you."  (Matthew 7.7)

Women's Right of Equality




Through the time we have seen women’s capacity to do the same things that men do, that is why this discrimination should stop, women have already proven what they can do and that they are more of what men think of them. Why women should not work? Some people are stuck in the past, when men had to hunt animals and bring them home for the family to eat, while women take care of their children as they wait for their husbands. That situation, where men think women are not capable of doing certain things, such as work is really archaic. Not only women can be capable of doing the same things as men, like working, they can also deal with taking care of family and be very successful doing it. Women should not be treated as less than men because they are so capable of doing what they propose to do just as men do.                                                                                                            Some cultures, such as in India, women have been categorized as less than men. Not only they are to stay in their house and not show themselves too much to the other men, they are considered

“property” of the husband. Starting they cannot show all their bodies, they are completely hiding their bodies, including their hair because it is meant to be shown just to the husband.  Furthermore if, and I say if because it is really a minimum rate, a woman looses her virginity before marriage there is a highly opportunity that no man will accept her, because a woman should be pure to her husband, on the other hand men can get married three times. Seen these points, we can observed the injustice society commits when it comes to women. Society has been objectifying women and treating them as “things” labeled “Property of…” making them feel as less than men. Where they have to live by their rules, were they are submissive to their dominating husbands who can punish them if they “misbehave”.  Sure India is much more complicated than other countries because of the fear women feel, but equality of gender should start rising in these places so they all become equally successful and contribute the same in life.
Sexism might be a complicated topic. People might think it is right that women should behave and be submissive to their husbands that the purpose of women in life is to take care of the children and to pleasure their husbands, to keep them happy. But why not evolve? We cannot stay stuck in the same idiotic thought. Women first of all should be given the right to choose how they want to live their lives and with who (in India). Also, men should stop objectifying and thinking of women as a submissive wife, as a personal slave. Sexism needs to stop, women through the time have proven they can be the same as men, they can do the same things and be equally successful as them, that is why society should start respecting them and believing in the equality of gender, because if men can sure women can make it too.
