The chapter that I alluded to in my last post, and what we have been learning about in class, tremendously relates to the real world in a multitude of ways. What I am referring to is religion. In class, we have discussed whether there is a God, we have discussed different philosophers arguments for if there is or isn't a God, and whether we have fate or free will. Plus, as a talked about in the last blog post, the book has talked about different religions basis' and cultures. This connects to the real world for a few reasons, one being much of he world follows a religion and another is whether there is a God or not had been one of the biggest debates our world has faced for centuries. This arguement can rile many people up because some are very passionate about their religions and some are very passionate about scientific explanations for everything. Religion is one of the most "popular" thing on Earth. Tons of people believe in some sort of higher power and it can shape the way many people live their lives (as we see in the cultures we learn about in the book). Without religion, our world would probably agree on a lot more honestly, and we would of never had many of the great battles or stories of our history.
