In this assignment, I would like to write about an amazing country –Thailand.
Thailand is an incredible goal with palaces, temples, markets, shopping, spas, friendly people, good food and some of the world's best hotels. Thailand is described by travellers as "the west exotic country in Asia", and with good reason. It is composed of a unique cultural colouring, with a rich and diverse cultural heritage, as well as the extraordinary beauty of the resulting range. Besides that, because Thai people are very friendly, very nice to everyone, so people give them a name of “land of smiles”. ((Thiro 10). Thailand is also a best destination for travelling, this is because it is very convenient to travel from Thailand to Vietnam,
Myanmar, Singapore

Islam is the second large religion in Thailand. Thailand's Muslim population is diverse, there are ethnic groups from China, Pakistan, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia have already migrated, and include some of the local Thai people. About two-thirds of the Muslim Malay descent in Thailand, although most are no longer speak the language. Christianity did not come to Thailand until the 16th century and was brought by European. There are also a growing number of foreign missionaries evangelical group, who are residents of churches and prayer groups established in Thailand. These are Catholics, at first, but others such as
Christian Baptist then arrived. Christianity is a minority religion, but they did not put the country in English and Latin presses and knowledge. Visitors should dress neatly for all religious temples and monasteries before they enter any temple or mosque. It is acceptable if someone wearing shoes in the small area in temple.
Each Buddha statutes, no matter large or small, ruined or not, is considered sacred. Visitor are not allow to take photo or show any unrespect to them. Monks are not allowed to
Religious diversity is not foreign to Americans. American is known for its religious diversity. This diversity did not just arise. It has been around since Colonial American. In this paper I will argue that the influx in immigration in America and differing beliefs within individual denominations shaped religious diversity in the colonial American landscape.
Christianity is the dominant religion and an enormous
Along with the neglect the statute was given, it also got its unwanted attention. “The statue was vandalized, repaired, and then ended up in a warehouse where it was eaten by rats”(source F). Just because something has no value personally doesn 't mean that someone has to ruin it for other people. Having “fun” at someone else 's expense tells a lot about the true character of the individual which is revealed by the violated monument. This monument was also stored in a warehouse.
The religion I choose to observe for my fieldwork project is Catholicism. In order to complete the fieldwork assignment required for this paper I attended St. Lawrence Church on 5225 N. Himes Avenue in Tampa, FL. One of the reasons I chose to observe Catholicism for my fieldwork project is because it is a prominent religion throughout the world. In addition to the US, Catholicism is widely supported within Europe and Latin American countries. Another reason I chose Catholicism is because I found it to be relatively different from my own religion, Hinduism.
Cultural Immersion: Muslim Americans Part 2 Many Muslim families are labelled, judged, and in some cases feared by the American people. Many major cities have mosques, and it is important to acknowledge the presence and value this individuals have in our society. In effort to achieve a better understanding of the faith itself and the lifestyle of those that follow the faith, I visited a worship service and a community event held at one of the mosques in Iowa. In some ways this experience felt very foreign, yet in many ways it felt very comfortable.
Buddhist traders from India and China spread the religion to some inhabitants of Eastern Africa. Hindu traders from India traded with Muslim traders, facilitating
However, these monuments are history and although they may not be suitable for a public place nowadays, they are sure a great piece of history for a museum. These monuments are part of all that is left from a certain period in our history. Even though the Confederate period, for example, is not the period of the United States that many are proud of it still happened and it is still history. These monuments should be saved for the sake of knowing about the past, not for personal gain. Some monuments can stay in public for everyone to see.
Christianity and Islam are the two largest religions in the world, with 2.1 Billion and 1.3 Billion followers respectively. Each had their own rise, golden age, and eventual large-scale split. However, each religion spread in different regions of the world in different ways and developed their own traditions and structures. Christianity and Islam have similarities such as a large-scale split and a history of spreading through popular trade routes, while simultaneously having many differences such as where the two religions spread, the methods in which they spread, and the structure of their religious leaderships. One of the primary differences between the spread of Islam and Christianity is the directions in which they spread.
There are many ideals that can be compared between Thai and U.S. culture, and a couple of them are social systems, social relationships, and education. To begin with, Thailand and the U.S. have different thoughts and ideas on social systems. Thailand believes in the social system of collectivism. Collectivism where nothing matters in relation of race, ethnic, or religion.
Christianity is the world's largest religion with about 2 billion followers. Christianity was formed around 33 CE in present day Israel. It is based on the birth, death, resurrection and the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ. During that time period, Israelites suffered in slavery and sins under the rule of the Roman
Many people share their food while others also feel comfortable drinking from their soup bowls rather than using a spoon, an etiquette that seems to concur with the cuisine and its exotic nature. Therefore, the creation of a Thai authenticity and exoticness is used to satisfy customers’ demands for differentiation and supposed authenticity while creating an experience of high quality dining and
A sacred space is often distinguished from other spaces by its atmosphere and connection to the transcendent or otherworldly. Many features of the space, such as its architecture, lighting, and décor, create an aesthetic that is conducive to one’s experience of spirituality within the space. While sacred spaces are frequently defined by religious institutions as either temples, shrines, churches, or mosques, they are not necessarily limited to such conventional categories. For example, Native American tribes regarded caves or other natural wonders as sacred; some spaces do not have to fit strict religious molds to be venerated.

Even in modern times, Islamisation is still on the rise. Due to the power Islam potentially holds, it is important to understand the relationship between Islam and politics. As Indonesia is home to the largest Muslim population in the world, it would be suitable for use as a key example. In the case of Indonesia, the introduction of Islam can be divided into three phases; from 622 to 1100, as a product of commercial contact with maritime regions of the Indian Ocean through trade that dates back to before the Islamic period; from 1100 to 1500, where the widespread of Islam was focused more on the spiritual belief rather than rituals.
I would say that most people there in Great Bend are religious. Overall the experience was very peaceful and reminded me of the atmosphere I feel when I am home. During the liturgy at Saint Rose, the atmosphere from the start
