1 World Religions A Semester Elective Social Science Course for Loudoun County Public Schools Ashburn, Virginia 2016
2 World Religions The purpose of this course is to have students grow in their understanding of people from different global perspectives, and to do so through one of the most important operative manifestations of human culture: Religion. The aim is to help students develop an openminded understanding of the role played by religion and religious culture in the creation of human outlooks, perspectives, and behaviors. World Religions will begin with a short introductory unit--unit 1--that will explore various definitions of religion, and will pursue the questions of why religions develop, how they take form, and how they serve or influence the people in a culture. Following this introduction, Units 2 and 3 will focus on specific religions, and will proceed with three basic areas of exploration: 1. The Descriptive questions: a. What are the beliefs and practices of this religion? b. Who are the people of this religion s organized structure and what are their roles? c. What are the symbols and narrative sources which play a large role in describing and explaining this religion? 2. What is the history and what are the social structures that exist in the culture(s) where this religion is practiced? 3. HOW do these beliefs, people, and symbols, etc. reflect the culture in which we find the religion practiced? Unit 2 will look to the Middle East as the source of three major religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Using the framing questions above, students will deepen their knowledge and understanding of those religions and be able to explain their connections to particular cultural contexts. Unit 3 turns eastward to the various traditions that gave rise to Hinduism and Buddhism in India, and to Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism in China. Along the way, attention will be given to other significant religions such as Jainism, Sikhism, and Shinto by examining their basic beliefs and their roots in the societies around them. After having studied the religions of the Middle East, students should see that the beliefs of people of the east arise out of a social order that is different from the prophetic tradition. Unit 4 will seek to bring together the most central and enduring themes and concepts found among the world s religions. Its purpose is to have students take the cumulative knowledge gained in the course and apply it to the contextual frameworks of history and culture.
